1931 Gottlieb Baffle Ball pinball. Restored by Bill Heatherly (bheath8295@aol.com). Also you can follow my restorations on Facebook under ARCADE ARTIFACTS by Bill Heatherly.
Not many reactions to such a beautiful device... Strangely, I happen to have found this video as an old computer games enthusiast/collector... Microsoft found this table worthy to include in their 1998 Pinball Arcade CD-Rom. The only difference is that in MS's version you get 10 balls for an imaginary 10p each time you play, but you mention this has something to do with when it was made?. I know nothing of the history of pinball, otherwise it looks like they've done a brilliant job at representing this authentic and gorgeous looking 1931 game! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6W7NKLzUH40.html (what I was playing when I spontaneously looked up whether they used authentic tables or not) If anything I get the feeling from the MS game that each color of ball has a different weight? They seem to respond very differently to the same inputs...
