I recently had the good fortune of finding a HUO Gottlieb Rocky. Machine had been in the same house since new. A little cleaning, some new rubbers and it looks amazing, check out how clean the inside of the coin door is, I have never seen one that clean before. The original battery was still on the CPU but fortunately there was no damage and I could easily remove it. Here are pics:

I would click on the first picture then advance one at a time with the arrow. I don't like the way the Flickr home page opens. My game room does not have great lighting so the pictures are a little dark. Enjoy.

Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:

A lot of these flickr threads get lost after a few years. Browsing old Pinside Flickr links don’t work anymore. I’d encourage you to upload them directly to the site!
Did you check/record the audits before you cut the battery off? Would be cool to see. I checked the audits on the LW3 that was on route with original 1992 batteries and it had over 20 years of recorded “idle minutes” it was pretty cool!

I did check the audits but the battery was totally dead and the original audits were lost. Did you mean to load the pics to this thread or is there an archive section for something like this?

OK, just did 12, not all of them so I won't blow up page.

Yeah but IV is the best.

Ya know I think I'll watch that tonight. They just released a new directors cut with never before seen footage.

Blowing up a pinball thread with something this UNIQUE is a good thing! Dump it all, that’s why we’re all here! Make sure you select the “original size” feature so we get the full HQ pictures!

As requested, here's the rest of the pics for full detail.

Quoted from CrazyLevi:

So what’s the story? Little old lady’s house? Deceased rocky collector?

Just a very nice couple who were doing well way back when and bought it for their kids. Suddenly forty years went by and they weren't able to keep their house anymore and Rocky was still there. House was in full 70's theme with shag carpet and that crazy thick stucco everywhere. It was almost like visiting the Brady Bunch.
