    El Dorado - Estuchen Pin Post #1 in topic

    Posted over 2 years ago by tap455 – in Restoration questions ‐ Last reply over 2 years ago

    Doing my first tear down of an El Dorado I picked up a couple months ago. I found this little brass pin under the mylar of the lower pop bumper. It is part number 23 in the El Dorado user manual, and says specifcally 'Under Mylar'. What is it's function? I can see this location as a possible place the ball could get hung up.

    Vid. Since we're talking about temp rails, I'm going to let my Wade Krause El Dorado playfield cure for 6 months before doing anything with it. Is laying it flat for 6 months ok or does it need side rails to prevent possible warping. Thanks.

El Dorado $3200 with one dark dingy pix? Card whiz $2400 and it's been listed & relisted a bazillion times. I went to go see a big hit last night(amazing condition) but felt the price is to steep!

If one of those (other than Wizard) is a gotta have then contact Wade and send him a check. He doesnt seek deposits ahead of time but he doesnt turn them down either. If you want a Wizard (search for Abra AAB thread) I have 6 out of 25 left in the pre-order phase. Ken

    Good move. Target Alpha is Gottlieb's most horrible EM beast. Much too common. A yawner to play. Yes, same playfield layout as "Gold Strike" and "El Dorado", but that's where the similarity ends. "Canada Dry" is the same game (unfortunately) but has nice artwork.

    Gottlieb 31 inch legs Post #1 in topic

    Posted over 3 years ago by RCA1 – in EM Pinball Tech ‐ Last reply over 3 years ago

    What's the deal with Gottlieb 31 inch legs? Picked up a game that could really use a new set and no suppliers seem to have 31 inch legs. PBR has 31 inch, but only in white, which would look terrible on my new El Dorado. No one else seems to have any. Yes, I have seen the ones on Ebay, and really don't want to pay $120 for a set.

    Had a customer bring in 2 Gottlieb Touchdowns, one complete and another parts. He wanted to know how much it'd be to get one working and shopped out. Well, he didn't care for the quote and decided to leave the machines in my hands in exchange for waving the diagnostic fee. Sure Touchdown ain't the highest rated game, but I won't shy away from a (somewhat) free game. :PS) (Plus that parts machine will go to help a Genesis and El Dorado in need) [att=6428515,2512705 caption=""]

    El dorado now marked down to $1400. Match numbers in backglass have gotten flakey after days of play. I have $1500 offers in Maryland so if it doesn't go at this price I'll take her home.
