Awesome find Nino, so you're getting all of these??!! They look to be in AMAZING condition  ^^^



Yes - when Dad was an operator, he had two of these sited, and I remember playing it as a child. So I wanted a Nip-It and El Toro.

Do you have an El Toro in your collection Nino? A mate of mine has one of these that was GIVEN to him! in really nice shape too apart from a little wear around the bumpers. I find it really tough and challenging to play for such a simple game, Very hard for me to score much more than 40'000, he clocks it on a regular basis.. the bastard  :lol

Great machine(s) . Well done on the find Nino . You must be stoked .

Is it too early to ask where these will be sold via and roughly how much each ??


Also for anybody who doesn't know ... Bally Nip-It is the pin that was in Al's Diner in the TV show Happy Days .. made famous of course by getting played by the Fonz !!

No pricing until they land and I've had a chance to go through all of them. The HUO is mine, and two are reserved for members that have asked me to track these old Bally EMs. If you are interested in one - PM me.

I know most have chimes and catcher assemblies. Some don't - as they were not provided (from factory) to Euro distributors.



Wow man, that is the best photo of an EM line up I have ever seen on AP for the sheer amazing number of them!! Looking forward to a game on the HUO when it arrives (if I'm allowed!)

I've had the photo for a long time (as the other titles were collected). I wanted to share the photo and the humor of having NINE Nip Its all lined up.

Thats a picture i dont think i could ever tire from.. classic pinball at its best.. raw pinball, gator feature ( so cool in its simplicity) zipper flippers ( yet to be beaten in any aspect).and yeh right.. 9 of these is just self indulgence.. sleeper titles in every aspect.

I think I've mentioned it many times before - The Ballys of this era are much better players. There are some average players like El-Toro, but games like Nip-It, Vampire, Air Aces - All excellent players. I've located a few of these more interesting games.

Dad had a few El-toros and he gave them away - as he did with hundreds of his games. A VERY simple game, yet addictive. I love the artwork on this game.

All nine of these are on the water.

My personal game will be reconditioned. It is HUO, so it does not need much work. Of the other eight, four have been reserved for AP members.
