Stern Star Gazer, Williams Star Light, There's an older Williams EM called Zodiac, I have a BG from it, but I have never seen the game.

Gottlieb Aquarius has the signs of the zodiac on the backglass and playfield. Tagline was:
Fascinating "12 Signs of the Zodiac" Sequence
It isn't that fascinating, but we played the hell out of it when new. Interesting use of excess flipper bats.
ya it has a kinda cool backglass- real strange playfeild config- its a wide body with a real oper shooters feild
it launches- shoots the ball up from between the flippers has a second set of flippers, spinner with post and targets and mostly targets along the top kinda odd game.
this game is not in real good shape needs a restoration actually- but seems interesting. i was looking for some people might be able to tell me a little about it.

how long ago did you get the glass, what shapes it in? my reds have been hit pretty hard but over all i might give the glass 6.5-7 maybe..... not great, not nice- but ok, seen alot worse.

I've only seen Zodiac for sale a couple times in the 9 years I've collected. It doesn't seem to come up very often. You are right it is unusual. My first game was 4 Aces which is similar in layout. I miss that game and because it was my first I didn't understand how different it was. Like yours it had magnets on the playfield! That was a pretty cool feature, especially for 1970. Not to mention turret shooter, spinner, lighted backglass animation and four flippers. Pretty cool game. Congrats, I think you'll have fun with it.
