Bally Expressway, paid $50.00 - no longer in the collection. Like another one though.

What an awesome first pin - one of the best Bally EM pins ever made and just fantastic to play!

Would be a real tough one to replace, those 1970s EM Bally pins are rare as!

It certainly was a bargain,I remember the Pastor saying something about having to get rid of it because the boys wouldn`t leave it alone while they were supposed to be having bible lessons.

I know a guy whom may be selling one...he brought it from me and is probably asking around $800 for it.  Let me know if your interested.

My first pin was a Gottlieb PLAYBALL, 1971.

I got given it for nix in approx 1979-80.

Sold it in Trading Post for $120 when my first child was born as it was stored in the room that was to become his bedroom and had nowhare else for it.  !!!
