  Gottlieb Spin Wheel - Flipper Parade Help Post #7 in topic

  Posted over 7 years ago by KingNine – in EM Pinball Tech ‐ Last reply over 7 years ago

  Well I was correct that it wasn't the ratchets. The new springs were working for those. It was in fact the first thing I thought it was but had eliminated - The set screws were slipping on the axle. This time I took a sharpie and marked the axle and the wiper board and ran it through a bunch of rotations. They were way off when I was finished. It's working great now. Just need to adjust a few switches for better contact and I'll have a darn good looking Flipper Parade. Thanks for the input as always!!!

Not too easy to sell ... someone just two miles away was making light boxes from old EMs, so I think that Flipper Parade might have ended the same way if I hadn't grabbed it.

  1st Place weekly...10 packs of cigarettes ( Vintage Pic ) Post #3 in topic

  Posted over 9 years ago by jrpinball – in EM Pinball Hangout ‐ Last reply over 9 years ago

  All three games are Exhibit Supply Company games (commonly known as "ESCO"). The game on the far right end is a 1941 ESCO "Big Parade" and the second game from the end is a 1941 ESCO "West Wind". The one all the way to the left is a 1940 ESCO "Zombie". Most definitely pre-flipper and early WW II vintage. I would imagine a pack of smokes was like gold to a young sailor back then.

  While I'm not really an AAB guy, it would be kind of cool to have a RG and a PG next to each other. Of course, that would probably lead to the question of "why do you have the same game" and the explanation that they really aren't the same wouldn't probably fly. I almost bought a Flipper Parade once, but I just didn't like it well enough for what he wanted. Lots of restoration on it was needed too.

  Flipper Parade or Majorettes or other for an AAB? Post #1 in topic

  Posted over 9 years ago by jfh – in EM Pinball Hangout ‐ Last reply over 9 years ago

  I currently have Sittin Pretty, Sweet Hearts, Sky Line, Sing Along and Target Alpha as my Gottlieb line up and would like to add an AAB. There is a nice Majorettes on eBay and I have a line on a FP. Given the above games, which would you prefer to add to that line up - Flipper Parade or Majorettes and why? Would you pick another AAB instead? (A really nice Hurdy Gurdy would tempt me) Thanks!

  Yea, I thought that too about the Flipper Parade. I think the flipper series is somewhat of a specialty market. You have to like AABs, and early 60's style game play. There are far less collectors that remember these games from their youth-that don't already own them.....Not like an Eldorado, C-37 etc. where modern game collectors see them and think they are sexy and want to own one-sometimes just as a status symbol. 8O

All I have left is Flipper Parade, World Fair, 2x Sittin Pretty, Mata Hari, Ice Revue, and the Fast Draw I got from you. The only one I'm keeping is Fast Draw because I love that game. I'll probably lose money on a few of these as well. Scott

  Replacement Legs for 1961 Gottlieg Flipper Parade Pinball Machine Post #1 in topic

It came to me without legs, and I'm wondering if anyone might be able to point me to a supplier that sells replacement legs for Gottlieb machines from this era? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! Cory
