Good topic BRONX. I just want to catch up with the little stuff I haven’t had time to do recently. I just repaired Wild Card, Capt Fantastic, and Super Star. Still working on Black Jack. I still have a couple games in the storage room awaiting restoration. Looks like Pimp made stencils for Strange World and Wade is in pre-production on the playfields, so that will probably be the next restoration project.
empty back box and BG for a Shanghai
phenolic disc for stepper in Cowboy
But the thing I need most is space for more EM's!
Steve
Quick Draw, Gottlieb Atlantis, Centigrade 37, Capt. Card, Kings and Queens
... ask me again tomorrow 
Quoted from BRONX:Bally old Chicago was another great title, they made plenty of them! but hard to find one with amazing playfield. Great backglass
CPR has Old Chicago playfields…
I would be happy with one of the following Gottlieb pins (not in order of preference).
Flipper Pool
Diamond Jack
Electra Pool
Bank a Ball
Rack a Ball
Quoted from zacaj:Majorettes, Wiggler, Lady Luck, Brite Star, Picnic
Wiggler is so great!
Quoted from jaytrem:In order of age, new to old...
Speed Rush
Loop the Loop (keep coming close)
Sittin' Pretty
Fun-Fair
Fun House
You may notice a trend.
Maybe only one "Speed Rush" left on planet earth......???
Quoted from pinhead52:Bally Night Rider EM, evel plans for it
and
Gottlieb Team One for the Wizard in me.
Clever, I like it!
Quoted from jrpinball:Maybe only one "Speed Rush" left on planet earth......???
Looks like 2!

And it's for sale! At least it was about 11 years ago.

Says manufacturer is Gottlieb. It's actually Playmec. Very similar components to Gottlieb though.

Good catch, I didn't notice that. They don't even have Playmec as an option in their database.
Mmm...some good ones on here. I'm gonna dream big:
1) Gottlieb Gemini (stop laughing) - played one once - loved the shots and art
2) Strange World - going backwards: getting a Wade Kraus pf first, then hoping one day to find a machine - oh that artwork!
3) Space Walk (you're laughing again) - never even seen one, but I loves me some drop targets.
4) Rock Star - again, never seen one
5) Pyramid - played a few Cleopatras, but never seen this EM in the wild.
I'd throw Captain Card or Volley in there too 'cause, you know....drop targets!
I know I don't actually have enough money to complete this list, assuming I could even find some of these, but I can dream!
Quoted from BRONX:Not in any particular order.....
1) Gottlieb big hit 1977
2) Williams heatwave 1964
3) gottlieb Team One 1977
4) gottlieb eldorado 1975
5) gottlieb Jacks open 1977
For me:
1. Space Walk (I agree with dreaming big)
2. High Hand (had one, sold it, miss it)
3. Snow Derby (have a Bristol Hills but prefer replays)
4. Pioneer (love the art)
I have a real nice El Dorado for sale

This kind of Evil?

The gall to ask 5 Grand and have a kid’s bicycle propped up against it in a garage.

Damn...is it wrong that I want it - even with the bike leaning on it? That backglass looks pretty nice. If I were single, I'd probably make an offer....but my wife would kill me! I think the last one I saw for sale was several years ago, and the guy was asking 7K.....I don't know if he got that, but he was asking.

The backglass on this title might be the prettiest ever done IMO.
Quoted from atpcfiaim:CPR has Old Chicago playfields…
And they're just about perfect in every way!
IMG_5443 (resized).jpgIMG_5451 (resized).jpgIMG_5454 (resized).jpgI’ve gotten down to a short list to complete the collection I have in mind, don’t know if I’ll ever score them all:
Sonic Mars Trek
Williams Rancho
Williams Argosy
Williams 8 Ball
Williams Strike Zone

I'd love to find a Gottlieb "Rancho". The export version with a bull in the backbox instead of a bucking horse. Same a "Cow-Poke" but different backglass and backbox animation scene. I just like that variation. It has a cabinet like "North Star".

So let me complete my list with four more EM games:
Williams "Regatta"
Williams "Serenade"
Williams "Four Corners" woodrail
Bally "Wild Wheels"
Quoted from Dono:And they're just about perfect in every way! [quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
That game is immaculate!

Actually, the Rancho I’d like is Williams, the last pin designed by Harry Williams. (I’ve edited my post to clarify.) I don't think I’ve heard of Gottlieb Rancho.
I went to take a look at gottlieb jacks open today, score motor was just spinning, playfield, bg was nice, but this pinball hasent been played in 20years! Yikes!!! I noticed ball count unit coil was ceased, I could barely move it!!! What am I in for if I purchase it? What would you guys want n the almighty U S A pay for jacks open in this situation? A good half decent jacks open goes for about $2000 Canadian here!
Scared to participate. In the past I would post machines I would like to have and then the next week they would go up 200-500 in value.
It would be easier to list the ones I don't want.
95% of Gottliebs.
80% of Williams.
90% of Ballys.
100% of Spanish machines with oatmeal cabinets.
0% of Stern ( would like to own a Stern EM even if its bad)
So next week Stern EMs will double in value.

$600-800
Quoted from hwyhed:For me, my list would probably go like this
Surfer
Big brave
Jungle princess
Volley
El dorado
Ooh, a Gottlieb 2-player/wedgehead guy! Good man!
Quoted from paulace:Ooh, a Gottlieb 2-player/wedgehead guy! Good man!
Came across a very nice Out of Sight in the Dallas area if anybody in jonsin for one
My list fairly short… only EM I would probably buy is a nicer Little Joe that’s close to Ohio. I love that damn game and the one I have is a little beat up.

Am I shooting too high with my volley? 
One of the cleanest EMs I've owned
