One of the crown jewels of my collection can now be a gem in yours. This machine is one of the rarest of A.B.T. machines, the large table version of the Billiard Practice game. Made in 1928, and only for a very short time, one in this level of original condition is almost unheard of.

Click on the photos to take a closer look.

Definitely the nicest one that I have ever seen in my nearly 35 years of collecting A.B.T. gun games. The only reason I am willing to sell it is that I was given the opportunity to purchase the Billiard Practice game that was owned by Johnny Frantz himself.
The small table version is approximately 15" by 25" and the large table model is about 18" by 30". Doesn't seem like much but the difference side by side is quite striking.

The condition of the machine is very nice and all original. The cabinet has some scuffs and marks from its 85 years of existence but overall not bad enough to consider reconditioning. The score mechanism was reconditioned by me and works well. Includes the original play counter with less than 20,000 total plays shown.

The front plate is original and is in good solid condition. These are almost always missing or broken and although reproduction ones are available they do not have the great original patina and painting of the lettering.
The gun is all original and was completely torn down and reconditioned by me, as was the gun mounting hardware.

The machine includes the original lock and A.B.T. branded key and the original cash box. The original serial number paper is also intact. In fact, every part on this machine is original except for the rubber feet, shooting balls and a few pieces of hardware.

The playfield is also in exceptional shape. Here is a photo without the glass in place to show it off better. Only minor wear around the gun area and along parts of the rebound rubbers and the original decals are in amazing condition. The glass shows wear and could be replaced to make the game look better but I chose to leave it all original.

Price is $5,800 plus crating and shipping. SOLD
