Bally/Midway Strange Science Pinball Machine

From the era when Bally/Midway pinball design was taking risks, and making games unlike anything seen before or since, comes Strange Science - a colourful, featured-filled and action-packed game that puts you in the role of mad scientist! Very few of these games were made originally, and very few survive that have playfields as nice as this one! A very rare and desireable game that you don't see on ebay very often!

Here's some info from the flyer:

"Multiball... Up to five balls: play five different ways"

"Power Saver lets players save balls from draining"

"Two level lane changer"

Shoot the Atom Smasher using the upper flipper:

This game also features the Anti-Gravity Loop:

Get this game into your basement, rec room or gameroom and watch your friends line up to play - up to 4 players at once!! The game features three flippers, one to shoot the upper ramp and the lock ramp into the Atom Smasher, three pop bumpers, multiple skill shots, "Volt Meter" climbing scoring, and the ultimate - a 5-ball MULTIBALL! This game is packed with features!

This particular game is in nice condition. The playfield is very nice, with almost no wear anywhere except one or two inserts. It has been buffed up to an incredible shine!

The plastics are all beautiful, with no cracks or breaks anywhere! In addition, all three flippers have been completely rebuilt, so they're nice and strong!

Some of the things I did when I cleaned and fixed this game include:

  • 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 45 HOURS of work into this game!

    The translite on this game is excellent. The cabinet sides are clean but have a few marks in the black. The head is the same. The front is nice and has never had a hasp installed! Unfortunately the neon on top doesn't work - it might be the transformer. The displays are all nice and bright!

    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!
