Bally Indianapolis 500 Pinball Machine

Based on America's most famous race, Indianapolis 500 is a lighting-fast game that was only produced in very limited numbers - under 1500 total games rolled off the assembly line making this particularly excellent condition game a true rarity!

Here's some info from the flyer:

"Hear the engines roar. See the lights flash. Feel the excitement when Bally straps you into the fastest game around"

"The unique high-revving Turbo Lock Unit saves balls in its rotating chamber and fires them onto the playfield two- to four-ball multi-ball action."

"The model Indy racecar speeds around the mini-track, its velocity increasing with consecutive ramp shots. Players will actually feel the rumble of its high-powered engine."

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 game is packed with features!!!

This particular game is in BEAUTIFUL Condition! I've bought and sold over a hundred games in my 7 years as a pinball collector and in all that time I have NEVER seen an Indianapolis 500 this GORGEOUS!!

Look at that cabinet sideart! These games, with all the red and yellow in the artwork, fade within about an hour on location. This game has ZERO FADE! it was at the back of a dark arcade turned off for most of its life, so saw almost NO PLAY! I adjusted a couple of switches and replaced one fuse and it fired up and WORKS PERFECTLY!

FANTASTIC!!! Just a small nick on one side marrs an otherwise PERFECT game.

And look at those stickers on the head! Barely a mark on them!

The playfield shines like NEW! Even though it barely had any plays on it, I did a full SHOP JOB on this game, which included:

  • 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 40 HOURS of work into this game!

    This game is from my PERSONAL COLLECTION! I am only selling it because I'm desperate for the cash to pay the TAXMAN. Under normal circumstances I would NEVER give up a game of this amazing quality but my hand is forced. My loss is your gain!

    The translite on this game is PERFECT!

    And the display is bright and burn-in free!

    Finally, the best feature of this game is two-fold - one, it is not a REIMPORT from Europe or South America - this is an ORIGINAL ALL-AMERICAN game, as you can see from the two-slot coin door! No nasty re-wiring messes here. And two, there are NO HASP-HOLES!

    These games are extremely rare as it is, let alone in this kind of condition! You will not find a game this nice ANYWHERE ELSE short of it coming out of it's original box!

    Here are lots of 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!
