Just purchased this Basketball machine today (rather strange after reading Cait001 post in Niche collections this very morning.)
Big question: who made it? Does not look like the Sega in Cait001 post.
Can anybody advise on the ball used and does anyone know how / who can repair cracks in the angular canopy.

I have updated the article with your game, thank you for sharing. https://pinballnovice.blogspot.com/2024 ... -ball.html
Any chance you could please take a nice picture that shows off the whole machine, including scoreboard and coin door and control panel, and send me the high res copy?
I will keep digging and see if I can find more info on it.

Cait001. Thank you for your help and web pages (a great source of information).
At the moment the machine is at high level in the garage and taking better photos is hard.
It’s a large machine, the wife hasn’t named it yet (she calls my Steeraball the washing machine!)
When I’ve made more room to drop it down to the ground I will take some better shots.
I need to make some legs as per your photo and require a height of the push button panels so I know their length.
I can’t see any maker's names. It’s on old shilling (old 5p coin acceptor). The internal corners are light up but I can’t see what it says until I get the power cord and earthing sorted.
Also I require the correct BASKET BALL so I can set up the micro switches and fire solenoids.
