Yes, and a great player too. The best of both worlds.

Cosmos looks like a cool machine!
Quoted from Rat_Tomago:Gaaaaaaar. But they weren't for sale.
Just means you have exquisite tastes.......
Well look what the cat drug in today!
My Gottlieb Sure Shot and Sonic Prospector, fresh off the NAVL truck.
I was too busy wrenching on Sure Shot so that is why I'm posting late.
They both need my usual work before I can play them but they will look and play great when I'm done.

You have an alibi. 
Quoted from EM-PINMAN:Sonic Prospector
That ^^ should be an easy playfield cleanup being they CC`d from the factory,what will be played first the Prospector or the Sure Shot. 
Either way congrats on the delivery. 
Quoted from EM-PINMAN:Well look what the cat drug in today!
Send your cat here to teach my 4 to do that.
Quoted from Rat_Tomago:Fun stuff! Congratulations on your new pins!
Quoted from hoov:Congrats!

Either way congrats on the delivery.
Quoted from IntoPinball:Congrats Ken! Flip away!
Thanks guys! I'm very excited.
Funny thing is I bought these 2 with plug & play in mind but of course I found plenty wrong with them and will post 2 separate threads on the Winter rehabilitation for the machines which I'm already working on.

Vic, I thought I had an EM addiction problem, thanks for making me feel better. Super collection and nice work keeping all them bulbs and switches working.
Quoted from FirePower:Picked it up today with only 10,000 original plays HUO. Fast, great artwork and that great Sonic play field.
Looks great Firepower! Congrats! 
If I were to pick up a 2nd Sonic machine it would be Mars Trek.

Quoted from Vic_Camp:1976 Gottlieb Volley gets it yearly PM.....
Fantastic machine.
volley gets passed by due to the art package.
it is a great wedgehead. not a special fest. once you get a free game you have to complete the drops again to light it again. Unlike games 2001 once you get the special lit you can bang away free games
mine is orginial and nice but not that nice
I miss my volley. Replaced it with Mars Trek. No room, can't keep them all. Flip a Card is still apart in my garage since returning from the York show.
Brampton, ON
Don't have as much room as I would like so I have to cherry pick my EMs. Can't have 'em all, darnit.
Just moved out Central Park, replacing it with an Atlantis.
Rocket Ship plays great but backglass is a mess and cabinet has been re-painted, darnit.
K.C. Jones plays great. What a fun woodrail.
Honorable mention to my only two other EMs: Midway Gangbusters and Williams Upper Deck pitch 'n' bat.

Like the pin under the pin. 
Yeah..Rocket Ship is one of the better playing woodrials.
Here below is an older slide show of my collection i made a while back.

Diggin' the woodrails. Rocket Ship is a diamond in the rough. Shay has the backglass in stock.

Quoted from AlexF:Diggin' the woodrails. Rocket Ship is a diamond in the rough. Shay has the backglass in stock.
Yeah, thanks, I know Shay has the glass but it's $295 US and shipping will cost $75+. Tis the season but, unfortunately, my wife wouldn't be as thrilled as I would be to receive a backglass for Xmas. Have to wait until the new year, after those pesky bills are all paid before the selfish splurge.
That's a nice Big Daddy standing so proud and in a perfect spot for the serious EM player to perform the skills needed to beat the machine. Looks like a player can rest their favorite drink on the ledge of the short wall which is rare and there's plenty of space left and right of the game for people to view the silverball at play.
Williams made some reverse wedgeheads that can compete against some of Gottlieb Wedgeheads for sure. I am glad i have a Williams Skill Pool. Can you post any more pic's of the Big Daddy?
Thank's guys! I posted some more pics elsewhere, but I forgot where. I just finished my yard work and the turkey's about ready to come out of the oven, so I have to run! But if I get a little time later, I will post some more.

That's Raphael Lankar's collection in Paris. The Paris Pinball Museum. It is insanely cool. He has a team on site including professional artists that do his restoration work.
I used to produce a calendar and had a few of his games featured.
I hope you all had a happy Thanksgiving! My 91 year old mother came by today for dinner and played a little Big Daddy. She said it was her first game, but does remember dropping some change in a machine a long time ago.
These metal flipper bats provide a lot of power and some snappy action. If you hit the kickout holes full force, the ball will jump and smack the glass. It is a difficult game with torturous outlanes, but very rewarding if you can keep the ball in play.
