The one with the car is a 1978 Stern Memory Lane.

It is a great player! the art is kinda lacking but the game play makes up for that 10 fold.
it is one of the cleanest games I have ever picked up.

Looks a real beauty.

If I could get past the artwork, would like it as it is AAB of Abra Ca Dabra so it must be a good game!

"Team One" is a title that is often found in super clean condition. I owned a super cherry one for about 15 minutes.
It was at the York, PA show a couple of years ago. There was a Williams "Palisades" woodrail in the flea market area that I had my eye on, but the seller wanted a little more for it than I wanted to spend. I saw the "Team One" for sale inside the building, and just grabbed it in time as someone else was eyeing it as well. I brought it out to my van and then went out to the flea market area and asked the guy with the Williams woodie if he would be interested in a trade. At first he said no, but I convinced him to at least come and take a look at the "Team One" I was offering. I knew that once he agreed to come and give it a look, he would take it as soon as he saw how cherry mint it was. That's exactly what happened, and so I came away with the "Palisades" I wanted at a much more reasonable cost to me.

I picked up a nice surfer this weekend. Overall really nice clean game with a near mint backglass. Open to trades / offers for Wedgeheads, or EM arcade games. Cash also works

That's a nicer Surfer than the one I just picked up yesterday. I'm going to try to upgrade the backglass on mine.

I will have pics of Hurdy Gurdy # 2, and pics of a MINT Blue chip i just picked up maybe later tonight, they are still in the truck... Ugghhhhhh !

And some pics of the HG#1, with the PF all done hopefully later as well.

any one here ever play Gtb Gemini ?
I got to play one today and WOW it was a great player.
my buddy just got one, he also has some other pretty rare games
em joker poker space walk and the other gtb cross over EM/SS
he is still looking for the em CHARLIES ANGLES if anyone Has a line on that title

I really liked the lay out and dc flippers and pops really makes it play really fast.

here is his new space walk backglass not yet installed

Is that a NOS Space Walk glass, or did those get repro'd?

Those are some definite heavy hitter titles!

That is super nice!

And Gemini sounds great.

Thought I'd join the group and share pics of my 1959 HUO Universe. Besides being HUO, what's great to me is the machine and I are the exact (within two weeks) same age

I have owned and played the game. It is a decent player. Definitely better than some of the 70's multiplayer Gottlieb EM's.

I've actually owned two of them. I sold mine last year when I found out how much I could get for it.

Here are some pictures of it.

That's stunning DryHeat!

Is this the same game that Jeff in Indy owned previously?

Very nice game.

What I find interesting is how solid even the 50's games play in HUO condition over what the routed versions play like. The operators really got their money out of them on route in the day.

Mike O.

Hey Mike, been a while,

Jep, got this from Jeff several years back.

Tim

That Universe is absolutely beautiful.

--Jeff

Hey Tim,

Long time. It's good to hear from you. I'm also glad to see you get into the EM games. It's nice that there is something new to experience.

I like your handle - DryHeat - very appropriate for later in the year. I could live with a little dry heat right now. They are predicting 12"+/- of snow this weekend and highs of 20 where we should be seeing highs of 50.

Mike O.

Yeah, I've been getting into EM's a lot lately, also have a really nice Spirit of 76 that I play daily. So many games, so little room.

Good talking to you Mike

What's the story on finding all the NOS stuff for it? That's gotta be unique.

Thanks guys.

Tim

Don Murphy had the playfield, plastics, and instruction cards. It was probably 8-9 years ago. Surprisingly some of the playfields were readily available. I got his last Gemini Playfield. The right timing I guess. I believe he had Golden Arrow and Hit the Deck playfields also that I passed on.

The backglass came from Mayfair. It was not perfect but was worlds better than what came in the game.

I was only on the tail end of the last of some of the NOS parts.

Mike O.

mike that was a really nice Gemini
I would lie to find one that nice, I am sure you got a good price for it.

I've never seen a game as old as Universe in such good condition. Very nice!

Wow, amazing to see a woodrail that clean and nice. I sold a HUO Niagara to a woodrail collector years back. The Gottlieb factory had accidently burned a small part of the right side cabinet and rather than sell it, gave it to an employee. I got it from a guy who got it from a guy. You know how that goes. It was a time capsule, except for the burn mark, probably as nice as this machine.

Wow, guys. Both the Gemini and Universe are stunning. Been pouring over both sets of pics for a while now. Thanks for sharing!

I know of a HUO Sittin Pretty out in California. The game played very solid and looked gorgeous.

I owned a HUO Gottlieb Mustang for about a week. It played great but this title does nothing for me.

Mike O.

They are all running. Still have a cab swap on Hurdy to do. Blue Chip is in amazing condition. Although she might have to go such SUCKS as I really like it. Cause I have an Ice Show coming an I need the room. My HLA is a blast to play and HG is an amazing game I love it. And the PF is like new and came out beautifully. image-3.jpgimage-87.jpgimage-865.jpg

Moreimage-454.jpgimage-990.jpgimage-602.jpgimage-740.jpgimage-179.jpgimage-871.jpgimage-855.jpgimage-929.jpg

Always tough to let one go. But Ice Show is a great pin, I wouldn't miss Blue Chip for long.

yeah i know... Blue chip is super snappy though, and just simple plain fun a flipper style player and not so much of a nudger..

rippin the spinners is a blast...

But Ice Show is gonna be a great addition, a total nudger, and a speedy game to boot with the 5 pops.. i am really looking forward to it !

I looked up on IPDB, and it shows 400 IT versions as far as production but no # on the US version of the add-a-ball..

anyone have any idea how many US ones were produced ?

Hmm, that's interesting. Larry Bieza's old pinball price guides show Ice Review production as 2,050 and Ice Show as 2,000.

Then there ya go.. that sounds about right to me.

As my Card Trix and flip a card are very close in production as well...

Thanks Dirt !

That Hurdy Gurdy playfeild is a beaut! Never took notice of it before, or realized it was so different from Central Park. Love those huge illustrated people and how Parker transforms the space into one cohesive environment.

Thanks for sharing, Gerry!

Some pics of my Jumping Jack, which was my first pin, currently residing in my parents basement till I can grab it, or it can hitch a ride out to me lol.
image.jpgimage-42.jpg
Still has the Illinois Revenue sticker on the backbox

Your Jumping Jack looks nice from what I can see. One of the better multi-players because of the resetting drop targets. And you can't beat the well-endowed girls on the backglass. Your backglass looks pretty good from what I can see. The playfields all seem to have that wear by the upper kick-out holes. A new set of drop targets from PBR would make it look real nice.

Scotty78 -

JJ is a great game! Really like how you can adjust the frequency of 'Free Game' vs. 'Shoot Again' for dropping all the targets.

Just a thought for when you get it back..... When I had my JITB, I added bridge rectifiers to the pops so that they were super-snappy, made for some awesome split second flipper saves!

Thanks guys. The back glass was touched up slightly before I got it, I sealed it when I first received it years ago, seems to have held up pretty well, of course being in a stable climate hasn't hurt either. Now that new drop targets are available I will def replace them when I get it back. Funny story behind that broken drop target. I had JUST replaced a broken one with a NOS one that came with the machine. Put playfield down, started a game. A relay stuck. I shut it off, and lifted the playfield. That ball snapped another target off before I even knew what happened. DOH! I was young and in a hurry lol. I will look into that bridge rectifier mod heatwave, that sounds pretty cool.

It has significant wear at the kick out holes, and was always planked. I'll try to save the playfield best I can, and hope a repop playfield comes to fruition for this machine. Gottlieb was king in '74 when this baby rolled off the line!

Man that game is truly sensational!
Where did Jeff get it?
Thanks for sharing pictures.

Was at a friend's house tonight putting a new plastic set in his Black Knight. His real love is EM's. He humored me letting me take a couple of pictures.

Not in the pictures are another handful of 60's wedgeheads - Central Park, Sing Along, and Ice Revue.

Super cool setup your friend has Mike.

Love the selection of EM pins including Black Knight.

Looks like it was a fun evening.
