Pinckney, MI
Sold a Spirit of ‘76 to help fund and free up the space for an Olympic Hockey.
It was in someone’s home for a long time and was fully operating, just dirty with dry rotting bands.
I could not understand the high reviews Olympic Hockey had received. Guess I have a preference for Gottlieb’s, but do love my Aztec. Williams spinners were the best.
The Olympic playfield in photographs looks kinda sparse. I mean, score a goal with rollovers?
Cleaned the playfield and all playfield coil sleeves.
Played 20-30 games. It’s set liberal with highly forgiving tilt. That left drain is a monster. But with minimal tilt this thing is a nudgers dream!
The rink and pick in the backglass is cool and gives an effect of real depth when viewing the machine in low light at 6-10 feet away. Really crazy. But when playing you can’t look at the backglass or you will lose the ball. Plays that fast.
To score a goal you have to move the puck 10 steps. First 5-6 steps come quick and easy but the last 5 steps are harder. Closer to the net harder to score.
When you get the goal by actually getting all the rolling overs with a single ball roll is very cool!
Great table/logic design. Shame they didn’t have higher production numbers. A simple artwork change to soccer or other re-theme would be great. I don’t mind pointy people artwork but did they run out of pointy people and get an overwhelming good deal on green paint?
