Please be gentle, noob!
Can someone help me prove to myself I'm not going mad?
I am from the UK and back in the late 60s/early 70s I used to play on a coin-op in a local cafe. It was slightly wider than a pinball machine and used the same balls as a pinball machine, but had no flippers. There were lots of holes and posts on the table and the multiple balls would drop down these in play. The upright glass panel had sort of 'bingo' cards that would swivel and theae would light up (or possibly switch off?) depending on where the balls dropped. There was no cash prize but you could win credits for more games, the machine itself was 'for amusement only'.
Please can someone confirm I've not gone insane and lead me to some more information about these machines? Thanks!
John
