EIGHT BALL DELUXE PINBALL MACHINE - BY BALLY 1981 RARE EARLY MODEL WITH A FACTORY PLASTIC PLAYFIELD

THIS IS A WALKTHROUGH AND GAMEPLAY OF MY 1981 BALLY EIGHT BALL DELUXE PINBALL MACHINE. THIS MACHINE IS A RARE EARLY MODEL AND IS #40 OFF OF THE BALLY PRODUCTION LINE. THE FIRST 400 MACHINES CAME WITH WHITE BUMPER CAPS INSTEAD OF THE GOLDEN ONES AND SOME OF THE FIRST MACHINES HAD PLASTIC PLAYFIELDS INSTEAD OF WOOD. MY MACHINE HAS THE PLASTIC PLAYFIELD AND WHITE CAPS. THIS ACUTAL MACHINE WAS PURCHASED BY A OPERATOR IN 1981 AND WAS PUT IN STORAGE IN 1984. IT SAT IN STORAGE UNTIL I GOT IT IN 2017. AT THAT POINT I STORED THE GAME FROM 2017 UNTIL 2021. THIS MACHINE HAS BEEN IN STORAGE MOST OF ITS LIFE. THIS MACHINE IS IN VERY NICE CONDITION AND IS A EXCELLENT SURVIVOR SINCE MOST OF THESE GAME HAVE WORN OUT PLAYFIELDS. I FIRST PLAYED ONE OF THESE GAMES IN 1981 AT MALIBU GRAND PRIX AND HAVE BEEN ON THE HUNT FOR DECADES TO OWN ONE. THIS MACHINE IS NOW IN MY PERSONAL COLLECTION AND IS HERE TO STAY.
