Post Time

Post Time, manufactured by Bally in 1935 (model 24), is an early electro-mechanical (EM) payout machine reflecting the company's early experimentation with electromechanical scoring hardware. As with other machines from this period, it predates the 1947 invention of the flipper, so gameplay would have relied on tilt, gravity, and target placement to direct the ball toward scoring or payout features.

The machine's cabinet and artwork were likely minimalistic, consistent with the typically unadorned style of mid-1930s payout machines. Specific details about Post Time's designer or notable features are not documented, reflecting how little has survived about many of Bally's earliest machines.

Despite the scarcity of information, Post Time stands as an example of the basic, skill-based mechanics that characterized Bally's payout-machine catalog during the mid-1930s.
