    True 2 Player AABs where balls can be accumulated
    Chicago Coin: Hula Hula
    Chicago Coin: Firecracker
    Chicago Coin: Mustang
    Gottlieb: Sea Side (Italian)
    Gottlieb: Big Jack (Italian)
    I have many EM trading pieces..

    A Gottlieb TKO. Also a Star Jet would be a nice find.

    Quoted from TwinDavid:

    Bally See Saw
    WMS 4 Roses
    GTB Kings and Queens
    WMS 3 Coins
    GTB Gigi

    I’m really debating on letting go of one of my machines due to lack of room after picking up a Lucky Hand. My 3 Coins would probably be the one because I’m into 70s EMs and not as much the earlier pins.

    Let me know what you think if you might be interested. I bought it on eBay in March 2021 for pretty cheap because it had been sitting for decades.

    Judoratt. That TeamOne looks Brand new, I'm assuming reproduction backglass?

    I don't think that glass has been reproduced. Just a gem mint copy all around. I once had one this nice for about 20 minutes.
    Bought it at a show, and immediately traded it for a woodrail.

    #56 1 year ago

    Ok I will add 1977 Gottlieb kicker to the list. I did some research and it seems the machine is pretty much a clone of TeamOne. Kicker was the Italy export version of TeamOne. The only difference I see is the backglass says kicker and not team one. I'm sure if someone digs deeper and removes the ball arch and cleans up the dust in there, the playfield will be stamped kicker.

    Both game names are screened onto the playfield. They are the same. Zoom in on the photo posted earlier by @pinhead52.
    The backglass also does not display the word "WOW" on the extra ball flags.

    So Borg Dog, what do you think's more likely - finding a Gemini, or finding a Space Walk?

    What will be the most economical way to ship that gorgeous TeamOne located in Washington state into Hamilton Ontario Canada a.k.a steel capital of Canada or the waterfall capital of the world??? It's just not feasible for me to drive down, I would if that gorgeous beautiful Seattle weather girl will come back with me to start a new life with me in Canada ;0P
    As for TeamOne I like the theme, as for the Seattle weather woman, I like her too...

    As for the rarity of Gemini vs spacewalk. I never seen any? Spacewalk does have s s equivalent in Countdown, so in theory Gemini is more rare because it's the only variant to the best of my knowledge.

    #72 1 year ago

    There is a Gemini near Pittsburgh at Pinball Perfection that I play whenever I'm up that way. I've never seen a Space Walk anywhere. Usually the SS version has slightly (or sometimes not so slightly) different rules than its EM counterpart. Sometimes, like on Joker Poker, I like the SS rules better. I don't know about Countdown vs. Space Walk.

    According to ipdb, Gottlieb made 300 Geminis and 217 Space Walks, but who knows how many of each are left.

    Have it shipped to Girad OH (arcade there could hold it for you). Then drive down and pick it up... Probably $600 to ship

    pinhead52 I'm not sure what the idiotic Canadian customs officers will treat a used pinball game in duties, and red tape costs. Never done it before. Another factor is the ridiculous exchange rate between Cdn and USA Buckaroos. It's going to be expensive.

    Ok back to the rarity of Gemini, Space walk, tko, etc.... And how many have survived vs new dog food What is more important when it comes to a possible collectable... The supply or demand??? I noticed in the pinball world as soon as something is rare the price hits the moon. For ex. This Gemini(never seen or played) is fetching $7500usd+++ only 300 made. Centigrade 37 in which is a proven winner and supper dupper fun fetches $2500usd+++ in amazing shape but 1600 made, same goes with Jacks Open and ElDorado but with almost 3000 made. If El Dorado, jacks open or centigrade 37 were only produced in limited quantities of 125, 217 or 300 like tko, space walk or Gemini would they be fetching $75,000 usd+++ in prestige shape??? For me it's about the game play, rule set and space. I'm sure out there in the world sits a 1985 Chevrolet Chevette garage kept, no mileage, factory new, in show room condition but does that mean it will fetch $2mil +++ ??? I don't think so. I think the rarity of a pinball game shouldn't be a main factor in my opinion. Unless Gemini, tko or spacewalk are incredible plays like centigrade 37, jacks open or Atlantis .

    I hope this white rose pinball show in a few weeks has a good e.m turnout. Never been to a pinball show before. Like to see new titles

    #75 1 year ago

    And who knows, this top 5 list might change after my first pinball show

    Quoted from paulace:

    DB62 - I have access to a Slick Chick at an arcade near here - that's a great game. One of my favorites in the whole arcade! I see them for sale every so often, usually for between 1K and 1.5K.
    In fact, here's one: https://pinside.com/pinball/market/classifieds/ad/141327

    White Rose is heavy on EMs, which is why it’s my favorite show. It has EMs ranging from woodrails to the ‘70s late EMs.

    I'm sure she would take none....nice lady, and let's be honest, not a lot of old coin-op collectors are women.

    I have my EM top 5 wish list.....these 4 plus a minty Delta Queen in the shed to be fixed up this winter sometime.
    (Including AA just because it's really just a solid state EM......kinda like Led Zeppelin.

    Yeah, Blue Note is another tough-to-find game - only made 229 of those. Haven't found one in the wild to play yet. And only 375 of the Hit the Decks were made. You must like John Osborne.

    #82 1 year ago

    @paulace. @guard.

    I remember I was at guard place in March or April. I got a chance to play his hit the deck & Blue note. Blue note was a real fun player, hit the deck just didn't grab me? Maybe I need more time on it ! Big hit was down that night I think he was changing rubbers, cleaning and making it better but I really wanted to try it. Blue note is great.
    Guard has very interesting collection, a neat place indeed.
    Hey Guard let me know if big hit is for sale please. :0P
