1965 Gottlieb's "Bank a Ball" animated single player pool/billiards themed pinball machine. Pinrescue's favorite game from the 1960's Bank a Ball features drop down pool balls in the backglass plus light animation. When you start the game all the pool balls are lit on the pool table in the art glass. As you make each individual ball it disappears from the table and the actual pool ball drops down into the rack

Freshly restored January 2016 Pinrescue is lucky to have two beautiful examples of this classic game. We have all been hard at work restoring classic Gottlieb pinball machines after selling out before Christmas 2015 ( we actually sold out before Black Friday!)

 Animated pinball machines from the mid 1960's are the most collectable machines Gottlieb ever made and Bank a Ball has both light and mechanical animation the only one Gottlieb ever made to have dual animation! One of our Bank a Balls is in beautiful original condition all the way around with light wear to the unique felt green cabinet it has a near mint playfield, near mint original art glass . Very nice original condition!

Our 2nd Bank a Ball is fully restored fresh cabinet paint, new chrome coin door, new coin entry, new shooter, new art glass, new playfield glass, new legs, levelers and hardware. Both are Top Quality Gottlieb pinball machine

  Pinrescue polished the silver posts to a glow in the dark shine, replaced all the bulls eye targets with new ones, rebuilt the flippers with all new parts same for the pop bumpers new from top to bottom. Clean as a pinball machine can be inside and out both these beauties play like its 1965 all over again. Bank a Ball also was the first ever pinball machine to have a return to flipper lanes which just about every pinball machine since has copied.

 Talking about new for 1965 the Beatle's released the movie H E L P and played Shea stadium, Mary Quant designed the fashion statement of the 60's the Mini Skirt and Goldfinger and Mary Poppins were the big movies. Don't wait another 4+ decades to get that dream pinball machine they all may be gone.

Fabulous features found on Bank a Ball:

  • Dual light and mechanical animation (pool ball disappear from table and drop in the rack)
  • Beautiful pool balls match the colors of real pool balls
  • Return to flipper lanes (first ever in pinball and copied ever since)
  • Love it or hate it felt green colored cabinet
  • Make the low balls 1-7 or high balls 9-15 to light the 8 ball
  • Win Specials for 8 ball and Low and High ball Specials
  • Win games for high scores
  • Win games for end of game match number
