1920S AEROMATIC BASKETBALL GAME WITH ORIGINAL STAND.

1920S AEROMATIC BASKETBALL GAME WITH ORIGINAL STAND. According to one online source, this vintage arcade machine was made by A. M. Emenhiser of Oklahoma during the 1920s. A nickel would be placed in coin slot and two competing players would then depress their levers, popping the ping pong ball about the court in the hopes of shooting a basket. Score can be kept for each player by means of a counting device (sliding beads) on the right and left side. After a certain time period or should we say, attempts to score (depressing lever) the game would end. The concept is compressed air shooting the ping pong through the air towards the hoops. A very rare machine and seldom ever found with original pedestal style base. This machine has been completely and professionally restored and a rare opportunity to purchase this coin operated machine for their collection. SIZE: 31″ w x 65″ t x 19″ d. CONDITION: Excellent restored condition and in fine mechanical working order. 1-9524 (8,500-12,500)
