This is a 1972 Upper Deck by Williams.  These machines are known as Pitch & Bats.  The button on the left is pressed to pitch the ball from under the green flap on the playfield and the button on the right swings the bat.  These are extremely fun, very hard to find (especially in such good condition), and very collectable.  This particular pitch & bat has sound, something many other EM (Electro Mechanical) pitch & bats did not have..  It also keeps track of your strikes, which is another feature that not all pitch & bats have.  It has the runners in the head that run the bases as you get hits and home runs.  In fact, this was the last Williams EM pitch & bat made with the base running unit in the head.  This is also another feature that not all pitch & bats have, but the more collectable ones do.  You can play 1 or 2 players.  This machine is all original.  No touch ups or painting here.  It is working 100% and it cannot be stressed enough what great condition this 34 year old machine is in.
