Grand Slam
Re: Grand Slam
I don't recognise those plunger levers off hand and after looking through a book full of pin adverts from 1934/35, nothing compared. I've asked a buddy who I think has the earlier volume of that book to check it out. I can't see any electrics to the playfield but there appears to be a battery holder with one battery in the base? Possibly just for a bell or buzzer?
Re: Grand Slam
No electronics mate, that's a plunger thing like a vacuum for the ball release gate. It goes down slowly after you would push the coin lever in. You can see the other part on my earlier photos.

Sorry, I meant behind that in the middle of the cabinet on the mid rhd side? Maybe a weird tilt then??

The National Automatic Machine Company of St Paul Minnessota made a pure mechanical Grand Slam pinball machine September 1933. This is listed on the internet pinball database

Living in the past maybe right
That's who I came up with but could find no pics anywhere
Thee other reason that I think he maybe right
Is that when I found these pinballs in a lock up in Blackpool
There were 19 in all and believe it or not
They all dated 1933,
Everyone of them
Weird or what

That's some find there like Bob
Yes it came up not bad with a bit of spit and polish, just need to find a coin mech for it now.

Very nice job there Keith
Nice to see new life breathed in to them
I was amazed there was no worm in any of the machines

Strewth Jingle, no wonder your grass is long, I'm surprised you find time to cut your finger nails.
