Bally Black Pyramid Pinball Machine

A classic game from George Christian - designer of all the 8-ball games (Eight Ball, Eight Ball Deluxe, Eight Ball Champ) as well as Embryon and Fireball Classic - Black Pyramid goes back to the basics for a pinball experience that seems simple but provides a surprising challenge! This is a great game for kids and adults, with a nice wife-friendly theme and simple design that will provide trouble-free operation for many years!!

Here's some info from the flyer:

"Thrill to the mighty spectacle of bonus points! Score 5,000 points each on the 3 in-line drop target feature and light the 2X-3X-5X bonus multipliers" - inline drop targets! A Bally classic! I replaced the old targets with BRAND NEW targets!

"Hit the swinger target and spot any unlit star or unlie 200,000 light. Shoot for 200,000 points, or get even more adventurous by doubling and tripling your points for an automatic replay"

On top of that, I replaced the broken orginal plastic with a BRAND NEW NEW OLD STOCK plastic!

Another great classic Bally feature - automatic ball gate!

Get this game into your basement, rec room or gameroom and watch your friends line up to play - up to 4 players at once!!

This particular game is in decent condition. The playfield was mylared early in life and this has protected it very well - there is very little wear visible anywhere!

The sideart is a bit faded but is otherwise nice:

The head art is good, but has been touched up:

Here's some closeups of the playfield so you can see how little wear it's had:

Here's what I did to clean this game up:

  • ALL new steel balls highly polished in my vibrating polisher
  • Replace ALL lamps
  • Replace ALL flashers
  • Clean, polish and wax ENTIRE playfield - TWICE!
  • Remove and clean ALL plastics by hand
  • Polish ALL metal parts
  • Adjust ALL switches
  • Replace ALL rubber
  • Clean ENTIRE cabinet
  • Clean backglass, back and front

    There are over 20 HOURS of work into this game!

    The backglass on this game is very nice, and the displays are nice and bright!

    This game is not a RE-IMPORT from Europe or South America - this isan ORIGINAL ALL-AMERICAN game - No nasty re-wiring messes here. And two, there are NO HASP-HOLES!

    Plus, I will include a manual for this game - many games sell without a manual!

    Here are lots more pictures to show the condition of this game (sorry if some of them are a bit washed out due to the flash - playfield is very shiny!!!)

    I ship games via Internet Freight and charges generally run in the $200-$300 range depending on location. There is a $60 charge for the palletizing and wrapping of the game for shipping to cover materials. I will gladly ship the game any way you choose, but Internet is generally 20-30% cheaper than other carriers!

    I accept payment via money order or bank draft - I do not accept PayPal due to their high fees - and payment must be made within 7 days of auction close. This game is working 100%, but because games get banged around during shipping I have sell them as-is - however, if there are any problems I am happy to help via phone or email! If you would like to see the game prior to making a bid, please send me an email to make an appointment. Game is located in downtown Toronto, ON, Canada.

    Thanks for looking!
