The art and craft of pinball
« on: September 06, 2019, 11:40:58 AM »
I have an antique Sharps Shooter, usually on the wall as a decoration but when we play, it is no joke. It is hardwood and brass nails. If you look
carefully on the back, it will tell you rules and regs.
Turn down wooden support to give proper slope.
One marble must at play at all times. Odd color marbles may have a better value. 
Sound familiar?

We still have one of these out in the garage.  This is called a Pachinko and popular in Far East.

Thank you Andy I just need to get wired in. Give me a week. It is not what you may think. Not a Pachinkow. No electronics or batteries. This is good old fashion fun. You would be surprised.

Okay, done or not (which I really don't understand), I think that the type of game you are describing is called a Bagatelle.
Something like this?

Credit and annoyance as well, eh? No offense is meant with these pokes at an old friend.

All is good, you are a good man. If you can find one it is a collectible but in the right shape totally playable,
