The instructions indicate there are 15 balls in the game. That does not mean you only get 15 shots as it is possible to shoot a ball and then have it drop back to be shot again. An example of this is when counting balls and strikes, and the tilt table will return the balls on a hit. Testing the game is easy when you have a hand full of balls, he says with a smile. It took a couple of tries to film the video.

i gotta ask but exactly HOW many balls are there in the machine? Also, that must've taken a while to craft and test the functions =/

I agree in general about the early pinball machines. There are also some games that while not really fun like this one, at least have some redeeming features that make them fun to play. Then there are a few games like this one that are genuinely fun to play over and over again. See if you can find an Army-Navy or going beyond pinballs, a Rockola World Series 1937. I will try and document them here when I have time...

I never liked the 30's pinballs until now. That has to be one of the neatest games that I have ever seen.

Absolutely the best video I've seen on this classic bagatelle. Thanks for posting it.
