Hit or Miss

Hit or Miss is an early 1930s electro-mechanical machine of unknown manufacture, identified by IPDB as a conversion of Bally's 1933 'Rocket' based on its side cabinet art. Little else is documented about its origins, which adds to its mystery for collectors and historians studying this formative period of pinball.

The game's notable features are its 14 trap holes and a tiltcup mounted on the playfield between the two outholes. The former owner reported that a payout mechanism was housed inside the cabinet, though it's unknown whether it was ever functional or intended to work as part of this conversion.

With no confirmed designer, theme, or detailed documentation, Hit or Miss stands largely as an unsolved piece of pinball history — a conversion of an existing Bally game whose exact story has yet to be uncovered.
