This is a 1948 Williams Dew-Wa-Ditty Pinball Machine. These old machines from this point in pinball history are referred to as wobdrails, due to their wooden siderails. You just don't hardly ever see these really old games much. Usually when you do find them they don't work. We just repaired this one recently and it's getting play during private events in our shop and gameroom, which is good for EM pinballs and for making sure it's working well for it's future owner. This game operates all flippers off of one coil. This is its original design. So no matter which flipper you press all four flippers fire at once. We did a full teardown of the topside of the playfield, waxing and cleaning everything, replacing, rubbers, bulbs, and the pop bumper bodies as they were badly warped (thanks to Steve Young at Pinball Resource). Someone at some point switched the coin door out with one off of a baseball themed game from the era, it fits as it should, but isn't the original as you can tell by the art on it. As you can see in the pics, some of the print has come off the glass, but it presents well overall. It has normal wear and tear as you would expect for a game of its age. It's a fully functioning game now and we encourage you to come see it and play it in our showroom in Joelton, TN, just north of Nashville, by appointment, before purchase to see exactly what you are getting.

Shipping is available for games and I'm glad to help set it up with a trucking company that we use often, BUT... shipping is NOT included in the price. Buyer assumes all costs for shipping game machines. Old games are not sold with any warranty, as they are old. We do however want to be available to help if issues arise after purchase, and we want to help our customers, even years after they buy a game from us.
