1968 Bally Dogies 4 Player Pinball Machine

A Bally classic with zipper flippers. This hard to come by 4 player machine is a unique one. The Dogies Canyon in upper left playfield has three normally-closed gates that, when all are closed, route the ball across three rollover buttons to exit the Canyon near the bottom pop bumper which also lights the top two pop bumpers. Only one of these three normally-closed gates can be open at a time, as controlled by their corresponding mushroom bumpers located in mid-playfield. When open, these gates will detour the ball to remain inside the Canyon. When this happens, a long and inconspicuous fourth detour gate quickly and temporarily opens to block the entrance and route the ball to an otherwise inaccessible left drop lane (the Devil’s Canyon). In effect, hitting any of the lower three mushroom bumpers during play turns the Dogies Canyon into a large drop lane entrance so, if that happens, it is essential to first hit either of the two mushroom bumpers at top of playfield before entering the Canyon in order to activate a fifth detour gate in the drop lane to rescue the ball from draining. The playfield on this machine has been gone over and is ready to go! All new Rubber rings. All bad bulbs replaced. Playfield surface cleaned and waxed. Original back glass in great shape! The original cabinet is solid, however a previous owner painted it blue. Could be redone with original paint job, but leaving it won’t affect the game. Come check it out in Colts Neck, NJ.
