TRAIL DRIVE-1970 Bally EM Pinball Machine – Classic Electro-Mechanical Game

Now available exclusively at RefurbishedPinballShop.com

Step back in time with the 1970 Bally Trail Drive, a vintage electro-mechanical (EM) pinball machine featuring interactive backglass animation and a Western-themed design that captures the charm of the golden age of pinball. This unique machine is a must-have for collectors and enthusiasts looking to own a piece of arcade history.

When it arrived at RefurbishedPinballShop.com, this machine required significant attention. Our experienced restoration team performed a full topside teardown of the playfield, meticulously cleaned and waxed every component, replaced all rubber rings and bulbs, and ensured that every mechanical element was functioning flawlessly.

Today, the Trail Drive plays 100% and has been thoroughly tested during private events in our on-site showroom and gameroom in Joelton, TN, just outside of Nashville.

🎮 Condition Report

As is typical with EM machines over 50 years old:

• Some art loss on the backglass, but still presents nicely

• General cosmetic wear and tear consistent with its age

• Mechanically and electrically fully operational

Despite its age-related patina, this game maintains strong character and charm—and more importantly, it works exactly as it should.
