Tinky by Brenco Equipment Ltd. circa 1964

Tinky
circa 1964 by Brenco Equipment Ltd.

Details:
The production model of Tinky was built in Brenco's factory in Oldmixon Crescent, but earlier prototypes of a different design were built in the pier workshop for Brenner's own arcade on Weston-super-Mare Pier.
The machine used a vacuum cleaner motor to shoot a ping pong ball up the side of the playfield to the top, where it drops through a pinfield into one of the pockets at the bottom, indicating a win or lose for the player.
