Bally has been re-released several pinball machines, under the names
"Classic" and "Limited Edition."  (I've seen "Eight-Ball Deluxe" and a
couple of others as "Limited Edition"s.)

But this "Fireball Classic" bothers me, because they've changed something
from the original "Fireball," and I can't remember what it was.  Was there a
post between the flippers?  Or did the original have those old half-size
flippers (like upper flippers on four-flipper machines) and they sometimes
closed up, so you couldn't drain through the middle?  There was something
going on between the flippers, and it's gone from "Fireball Classic."
