Grand Slam

The plungers are disconnected but I've laid them in place.

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?

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

It's a heavy roller used for the tilt

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
