Bingo pinballs

Created on 09-28-2010

 

It makes sense that United had to change up their ball-lift assembly from the early 345-type games`

  Due to the cabinet design change, so I am hoping that they maintained a paper trail for us`

 

I was pretty excited to see a patent for ABC their second Bingo`…hopefully there are many more`

 

It is interesting here to see the patent reference a Don Hooker patent from 1937 and dates all the way back to

a 1913 design, so likely Mr. Durant was designing on the fly as needed to support his games:
