Williams, 1974I was surprised when I looked to see of my three EM pins. Aladdin's Castle

4 Roses the last two are Williams. I am putting together another buy and the pin would just happen to be another Williams also
Full House
I've owned a couple of Bally EMs (Flip-Flop and Nip It).
I have also owned four Gottlieb ones (Spirit of 76, Slick Chick, King of Diamonds and Drop a Card).
Loved them all, but only the wedgeheads are left...
It’s funny, I used to own more Williams games as I yearned for the Gottlieb Wedgeheads.
Then as I played more wedgeheads, I decided I preferred the multiplayers and drop targets.
Today, I own zero Williams games, 4 Gottliebs, 1 Bally, and 1 Chicago Coin EM. In the future, I’d like to add some more Bally games to the lineup. Maybe some Ted Zale titles.
Quoted from bonzo71:I would like a Bally, but the interesting ones rarely appear. I havent see a Capersville come up for sale in my area for years.
I've had a Capersville and a few other Ballys. Not sure why I have zero now except maybe it's because most were multiplayers and were replaced with Williams multiplayers that seem to be a little more competitive between players. Nobody liked to get beat by 5000 pts on Capersville.
Quoted from MrBally:See my avatar....
ditto
Quoted from Electrocute:Gottliebs wedgeheads. Can't go wrong there, especially if they have drop targets.
I'm with you on that. 
Quoted from AlexF:For a short time last year I had none. Then 1 Gottlieb. Had a Bally a month ago. Now 1 Gottlieb and 5 Williams. One Williams will be leaving this weekend. I'm always changing it up.
You know you could have sent that EM my way.
Quoted from bonzo71:1 Chicago Coin
3 Gottlieb
4 Williams
3 Sonic
1 Zaccaria
Williams wins, but i like variety. I would like a Bally, but the interesting ones rarely appear. I havent see a Capersville come up for sale in my area for years.
Money is the answer to some of the questions. I have noticed that most Gottlieb pins are raising in prices. Why I seem to not have one plus I think more wanted around here.
I am trying to buy two Chicago Coins machines, but that is on hold by the seller just right now.
For the most part we seemed to be polarized, large qties of one vendor and then a smattering of another., I was up to 24 Gottlieb including the project queue, after a move and selloff, or more appropriately sell-off and move Im down to 11, including 5 projects...
Quoted from pinhead52:For the most part we seemed to be polarized...
It's true we all have our favorites. When you're at home it makes sense to want to play the games you love. With that said I always find the diverse collections the most fun to visit.
8 Gottlieb
6 Bally
2 Rally
0 Williams
When I play them I find myself pretty much exclusively playing the Bally games, even though I’ve got some classic wedge heads. Sold the only EM Williams I’ve ever owned.
I have all 4 (C.C., Williams, Bally, and Gottliebs) set up, and being into Add-a-Balls,
and with the other three put together, Gottlieb still has 3 to 1 ratio. I do like the others
but when it comes to Add-a-Ball, it's hard to beat those 60s (and 70s) Gottliebs..
Wheener wheener chicken deener... Nearly all GTBs, Mostly Ed's designs. Do enjoy WMS and Bally, but just not as much quality in them. I'm waiting for the bingo collectors to come on any moment now, if they give a poop or not.
Quoted from Ballypin:User Name? Check.
Current Collection? Check.
Wish List? Check.
Past Games? Check (for the most part)
Condition of adopting two sister kittens?Her name is Bally.
Any questions?
Do you play with her buttons as much as you do your own pinballs?
Quoted from AlexF:It's true we all have our favorites. When you're at home it makes sense to want to play the games you love.
If I didn't keep what my guests and myself thought were the best playing machines, and bought what others on a forum said they liked instead, it might get pretty lonely and boring around here.
