On the right is the other half of "Lovely Lucy." |
Although the cabinet has been repainted, "Mystic Marvel" is very hard to find in any condition, since it is not only a 50's Gottlieb woodrail, but also one of the few which feature double awards. |
More rare Gottlieb pins. |
Here as well. |
I've seen Chicago Coin "Beatniks" pins for sale in the flea market area maybe once or twice, but this is the first time I have ever seen one set up inside. |
Like Bally's "Hootenanny," the letters have a carryover feature. So, spell out all the letters, or light up the ones not lit from a previous game, and win a replay. |
"Beatniks" features an "action ring," on the playfield, where you can really rack up the points.

Here's a shot of the cabinet. |
Jeff "Mr. Bingo" Lawton, once again, brought two bingo pins. Jeff, by the way, has written two books on bingos, "Bally Bingo Pinball Machines," and "The Bingo Pinball War." They are both available through Amazon, etc. |
"Malibu Beach" was the last Bally electromechanical bingo, released in September, 1980, according to The Internet Pinball Database. |
Here's a shot of the playfield. |

This year, there were some other bingo pins at the show, including this "Bowl-A-Lane." The cabinet's pattern indicates this was originally a 1962 Bally "Shoot-A-Line." |
Here's a shot of the playfield. |
Great backglass art. |
The real oddity was this "Single Coin" bingo. There's the backglass pictured here, then another one with the same name, on the Internet Pinball Database, with the numbers and rockets placed differently. |
