Bally Hoo

The Bally Hoo (1969 version), produced by Bally Manufacturing Co., was a nod to the company's original 1932 hit. Designed by Ted Zale and with artwork by Christian Marche, this electro-mechanical machine was notable for being the first Bally pinball game to feature 3-inch "Jumbo" flippers, a significant upgrade from the standard 2-inch size used in earlier models. Additionally, it was the first Bally game to introduce an up-post ball saver between the flippers, which helped prevent the ball from draining prematurely.
