1977 Bally Evel Knievel "Rare Prototype Restored with CPR Gold Class Playfield"

I Played this game as a kid, it has all the charm of the old EMs with chimes and play. One of the special pins that was EM and SS. Too much fun and who did't like Evel Knievel ?

The artwork by Paul Faris is incredible , especially the backglass detail . Look at Evel's jumping Sportster . Now look closer , new stuff jumps out at you , like the Faris - Gayton tank . The game uses some Harley Davidson logos , like the red , white & blue number one and the eagle without displaying the brand out right . The girls in the number one tee shirts should have been wearing long sleeve sweatshirts because it was cold that day . The animated jumping motorcycle at the backbox top is cool , but could have been tied to game progression instead of random all the time . Spelling supercycle is really tough . The number one spinner lanes are sweet , the right one is tough to roll . It's impossible to find one of these with a nice playfield due to game popularity , they got played to death.
