Get ready for some real fun... PLAYBOY!
1978 Bally


Head over to the pinball grotto with... PLAYBOY!  This game was produced in 1978 by Bally, who hands-down made the best and most well-known digital pinball machines of the late 70's and early 80's.  Games like Playboy, Eight Ball, Space Invaders and Silverball Mania ruled the arcades!  Bally was known for creating great playing pinball machines with the best and most popular themes.  The 70's was the decade that Hugh Heffner turned his fledgling men's magazine into a periodical of iconic proportions.  Beautiful women graced the pages of the internationally popular magazine and some of those ladies are right on this game!  Playboy was an innovative game and was one of the very first machines to feature digital sound.  The theme of this game makes it a highly-collectable game to own, plus it plays fantastically well!  This true classic Bally machine brings your youth back to life with the fun and excitement of a full size vintage arcade game.  Pinball machines are presently enjoying a renaissance period with young and old alike experiencing new-found joy in these games of the past.  This game has genuine Bally style play with a classic playfield layout that's a true blast to play!

Bop to the digital music and sounds when you start up a game and get ready for the action!  Try to knock down all of the "bunny" targets for high scores and big bonus points!  Score a hit on the playmate of the month stationary targets for more points and a chance at SPECIALS and EXTRA BALLS!  Try to collect all of the secret keys and gain access to THE GROTTO!  The whole playfield is loaded with all of the of those classic playfield elements like drop targets, stationary targets, roll-overs, slingshots, pop-bumpers, kick-backs and more!  Complete all of the playfield features and light up the SUPER BONUS!  People really go crazy for this game and you will NEVER tire of it!  Most enthusiasts will agree that this game is one of the most collectable Bally games to own.  The popular theme goes great in any home gameroom!

This is one beautiful Playboy machine!  Your typical game was played and beaten to death in the arcade and has a wrecked playfield, faded and destroyed cabinet and the electronics are shot.  This is not your typical ugly example as it has been refurbished starting with a repainted and restenciled cabinet.  The legs were also refinished and a brand new playfield glass was installed.  The backglass is original and not a reproduction with some paint lifting which has been sealed from the back side with one small touchup.  A brand new MPU was installed and the other electronics have been serviced as needed.  The playfield has had a brand new artwork overlay installed which shines like glass and will last for years to come.  Brand new flipper mechanicals, flipper bats and pop-bumper caps and bodies were installed.  As the pictures show, this is a very nice example of a vinatge machine.  Plays lightning fast just like it did in 1978!
