    This pinball is a baseball themed game with lanes for a single, double, triple and homerun and targets for a single, double and triple.

    For you pinball novices out there, this is an electro-mechanical pinball machine which consists of switch assemblies using ?blade? switches, timing and switching motors, lamps, bells, chimes, knockers, coils, sleeves, plungers, drop target assemblies, etc.
    You won?t find solid state electronics or circuit boards here besides maybe some diodes and a bridge rectifier.
    This means that this type of pinball needs much more maintenance than the newer solid state pinball machines and you must have realistic expectations about problems with the game because just by shipping the machine it could cause some of the switch blades to go out of alignment and cause a problem in the game.
    Luckily though, an experienced pinball technician can usually fix most problems quickly and cheaply.
    If you never bought an EM Pinball machine before, then I would highly recommend that you buy a newer solid-state Pinball machine because I don't want you to be disappointed with all the maintenance required.
