Spinball, a Spanish company, released only three pins from 1995-1996.  "Jolly Park" was one of them.

There is no plunger.  Instead, there's a "fire" button.

Here's a better shot of the front of the cabinet.

Really cool art on the backglass...

...and the playfield.  Notice the toy bumper cars on top of the bumper caps.

 

Outside in the flea market, I found this Bally 1948 "Heavy Hitter" pin with the stand, which is somewhat rare, since this game was also sold as a countertop model.  It's unique since Bally made few if any other countertop pins, and to the best of my knowledge, these smaller pins were no longer made after the 1930's.

"Heavy Hitter" features backbox animation. 

 

 

Here's a look at the back of the game.

Notice how the head bolts to the rest of the game on these older pins.

Here's part of a 1958 Williams "Short-Stop Deluxe" pitch and bat.  

Not a complete game, but for $25, you got a nice mix of parts that could be used in other Williams EMs.

Here's a more complete game, a Williams 1970 "Hit and Run Base-ball."

I've never seen this before. It's a sticker saying "WARNING!  This machine is protected by BURGLAR ALARM."

The alarm must have worked.  The machine appeared to be intact, no missing parts that I could tell other than the metal backdoor.
