Item description

Gottlieb only made 675 of these games.

Since I have had this game I have stripped and cleaned the playfield, installed all new rubber, cleaned the plastics. I custom made plastic protectors for the “sling shot” plastics from 1/8” lexan since both plastics are cracked and this should prevent any further damage.

I installed a completely new shooter assembly (rod, springs, inside and outside housings, rubber).

I went through all switches, lamps, sockets and solenoids and made sure everything was working as it should.

I cleaned all of the score reels and they are now all nice and white!

I rebuilt the flippers including new sleeves and end of stroke switches.

I set the machine to free play with a jumper that is easily removed.

I set the machine to high tap which gives the solenoids a bit more umph.

I cleaned up the legs and installed new leg bolts and leg levelers.

Cleaned the jones plugs and ball count unit. Removed, disassembled and cleaned the 0-90 unit…likely more but I forget.

The playfield is a very nice example so I kept it original and did not do any touchups incase someone wanted to clear coat it one day.

The backglass is also in great condition.

The original coin box, envelope and contents are included including the schematics and manual.

The apron is in very nice shape and I installed new apron cards from the original envelope.

The cabinet does have some wear and tear and some fading.

Some of the components (mostly inside the coin door and underside of the playfield) are rusty.

New pop bumper caps installed and old ones included.

Has the original back metal door with key and key for coin door.

Game plays great. Here is a link to a video I took of the gameplay.
