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
