Quoted from paulace:For me:
1) 1978 Gottlieb "Gemini"
2) 1978 Gottlieb "Strange World"
3) 1977 Gottlieb "Lucky Hand"
4) 1976 Gottlieb "Volley"
5) 1977 Williams "Wild Card"
Of course, that's as of today...
I own 2 on your list and feel lucky to have them and I just missed out on a beautiful Volley on local Craigslist for $500 last fall.
I’m out of room but if I had a top 5 it would be:
1. 76 Black Jack EM (maybe impossible)
2. Abra ca Dabra
3. Surf Champ
4. Triple Strike
5. Spin Out
Quoted from paulace:Sea_Wolf - I know, I've seen pictures of your game room! I have a sister in Louisville - maybe I should schedule a visit!
You’d be welcome here @paulace. Hopefully I’ll have the Lucky Hand restored and running then.

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.

Quoted from jrpinball:"TKO" would be an instant flip for me. I've seen it, played it,....meh!
Never played it but that playfield layout looks boring as hell.
Quoted from Phillips88:Ok, ok I’ll come to TKO’s rescue here. Just had my friends over to the house this past weekend. All of them and their significant others are not in the hobby and new to the EM machines. Without any input from me the most played game and both guy’s and girl’s favorite was TKO. My high score of the night on it was 366,850. I’m a fan and think it’s a good player and fantastic art/theme.
Line up was 10 wedgeheads: TKO, C37, Jacks Open, Hit the Deck, Blue Note, Buccaneer, Big Hit, Volley, Golden Arrow and Strange World.
It’s definitely a nice looking game and I remember thinking that Top Card would be boring with a symmetric playfield, only 2 star rollovers at the top and nothing to shoot for but 13 standup targets but after I bought one, I found out how fun it is to play, especially with the extra set of slingshots.
I’ve heard Pat Hand is also fun to play but you’d never guess that looking at that barren playfield. To each his own for sure.
Quoted from jrpinball:"Top Card" is a tremendously fun player. The ball is always in motion and changing directions.
There are five rollover stars, I believe, including the center one which lights for "special". That game has an awesome knocker too. Funny how certain games have a distinctive knocker sound. This is one of the best!
It is really fun and besides the knocker, it has the best Gottlieb chimes and that’s saying something. All my other Gottlieb games sound great but none as sweet as the Top Card.
