- IPDB Offered with choice of 5-color playfield or plain playfield. We can decipher this much of the playfield apron using the images in this listing: KRAZY BALL - BY THE KRAZY MANUFACTURER LOS ANGELES FOR KRAZY PEOPLE EVERYWHERE --- RULES --- INSERT COIN IN CHUTE AND HOLD UNTIL ALL BALLS DROP ADDING OF BALLS TRAPPED GIVES SCORE GOLD BALLS COUNT DOUBLE BEST SCORE POSSIBLE 9000 CAN YOU EQUAL IT For information regarding Franchise and all Patent Rights on this machine write - KRAZY MANUFACTURER ??? UNION INSURANCE BLDG LOS ANGELES CALIF. U S A ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Today, the site of the Union Insurance Bldg is a self storage building with address 1000 W 6th St, if not the same structure. Shown here are two advertising "flyers" described to us by their owner as printed on blotter paper and on the reverse side of one of them shows it apparently was used for that purpose. The text on both flyers states, "Blot out your financial worries with a chain of these machines". The address shown is now a small urban park. The Encyclopedia of Pinball Volume 1 page 132 lists this game as both a countertop version dated April 1932 and a pin table dated June 1932. Pictured in this listing is a sales campaign letter dated March 1st, 1932 and shows the game with its legs. This indicates the pin table existed as early as February 1932. The three images presented here are the only documentation we have found for this game. used
