I have never seen a Gottlieb ‘New York’ so I looked on IPDB and saw this:
Notes: 'New York' is a special add-a-ball version of the 2-player Gottlieb's 1976 'Pioneer' that was made in celebration of the 1976 lifting of the laws that had banned pinball in New York City.
That’s amazing to me to hear. I spent the summer of 1977 in NYC and never knew that Pinball was banned there until the year before. Is this pretty common knowledge? Seems kinda crazy to me.
