Title: What pinball machine could this be?
Post by: QuarterJunkie on April 09, 2008, 11:18:17 am

I don't have a very good description here but I'm trying to identify an old pin that I vaguely remember as a kid.

It was around the mid 70's vintage and all I can recall is that there were some red balls (about the size of a tennis ball) in the back glass of the machine that would pop up and accumulate as your score increased. Anyone have any clue as to what this machine was?

TIA

Here is a list of pins from 1965-1980 that had a mechanical back box. Look thru them and see if you can find your machine.

Thanks. It looks like flipper clown is the closest.

Are you sure it wasn't Gottlieb's Mibs: http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=1589
