Wow!

I've never seen wooden legs before!

Does the pin sit the same height?  Or is it more designed those less verticle like myself?

All pinballs used timber for legs until mid 1958.

The game Daniel is rebuilding - the legs sit at a slight angle (around 15 degrees) and the pin will sit a bit higher than post 1980 games.

All single player games that used timber for the legs were straight like the legs on todays pinballs, it was only a few Gottlieb and Williams 1950s games that used legs like this that were on an angle
