I have a Bally's Old Chicago (1976). Works well, I have a bumper to repair soon.

Picked up this Bally Playboy from a neighbor's estate sale last fall. He had it since the late 80's and never really put any money into it. After a thorough cleaning, replacing the main power and sound boards, resoldering some loose bulb wiring, replace all bulbs, rebuilt flipper mechs, new LED scoreboards, and a new rubber kit, it plays like it's 1979 again. One of the nice features of the early solid state scoring machines is the ability to show self diagnosing fault codes. This was a very popular machine in those days with a run of 18,250 units.

I played that one back in the day - thanks for the memories. Cool find!
 
We went to the Silverball Retro Arcade in Delray Beach last week. They have a great selection of pinball machines ranging from early types up to modern games as well as several vintage arcade games. They also rotate their games so it's not always the same ones. You pay a flat rate for an hour, 1/2 day or full day and all the games are free play.

We don't go often because we can play ours at home for free, but it's also fun to play something different. We spent several hours there playing and had a blast.
