Goofy (Senior)

The 1932 Bally 'Goofy' (Senior), designed by Jack Firestone, is an early piece of pinball history from Bally's first year of pinball manufacturing. As a pure mechanical (PM) machine, it predates flippers, electromechanical scoring, and other technologies that would define pinball in later decades -- gameplay relied entirely on gravity, angled pins, and other passive playfield elements to guide the ball.

Goofy was offered as an affordable penny game -- 10 balls for a penny, with a 5-cent play option also available -- reflecting the low-cost, high-volume business model common to pin games during the Depression era. Beyond this pricing structure, specific details of its playfield layout and scoring rules are not well documented.

While 'Goofy' does not have a widely known theme or notable surviving artwork, its age and connection to Jack Firestone's early design work for Bally make it a piece of interest for collectors and pinball historians tracing the industry's earliest years.
