ESCO Broncho Vintage Pinball Machine, C. 1937?, For Restoration
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:584893 |
You are bidding on what I believe, according to my research, is a 1937 vintage Pinball machine, "Broncho" by ESCO. The wiring looks old and I did not want to take the chance of plugging it in to see if it has any life. There are scuffs, scratches, nicks, etc as any vintage, used pinball would be. I noticed green overspray on both sides near front-see pic 9. I also saw a piece of broken metal in with the balls-see pic 8, but I can't see where it is broken off of.... I would hope this vintage machine would be a great candidate for a complete restoration. NOTE- a helpful, informative fellow ebay member has pointed out that this machine is fitted with the fairly rare, optional "ticket vendor"-see last pic. Difficult to photo, it is tucked into the corner. Also- see pic 11- a piece of wood is loose, but guessing it can be easily reattached. Also, please note , there are five red balls (and one yellow marble type) included-according to a informed fellow ebay member, these may possibly be original, please use your own judgement-see pic 8. I am not an expert on this-this is from an estate- so please ask any questions and I will try to answer. Please see my other listing for a Stoner pinball machine, these came to me as a pair. Please see all pictures for condition and feel free to ask any questions before bidding. PLEASE NOTE THIS IS LOCAL PICK UP ONLY, NO SHIPPING
