Regarding that Bally "Bon Voyage" artwork with the guys jumping out with the suitcase....anyone remember D.B. Cooper? Dave Christensen did the art for this one and that seems like something he would have snuck in just for a laugh.

Sea_Wolf - got some nice machines there! I'd love to play a Wild Card for real. I've played the virtual version and love it - I'll bet the real thing is fun. Love Lucky Hand too - that'll be a nice addition. And I prefer that Add-a-ball version to Jacks Open.

Quoted from Sea_Wolf:Picked up this one yesterday. It’s true about Sonic’s, this playfield is in almost perfect shape (just some old Mylar adhesive that I need to clean off) along with the backglass. Even the cabinet is in great shape.
Anyone have any suggestions on the best way to remove this fried coil on the 1st player 100s score reel? I just don’t want to damage the plastic piece that holds the plunger. The plunger is frozen stuck. Thanks.

Man, that playfield is pretty! Don't you wish the other manufacturers had done the same thing?
If you can get that coil out of the machine, I've used a hacksaw and just cut down the length of the coil to get it off the plunger. Just have to be careful not to nick the plunger when you get close to it.

I have a Card Whiz at home, along with a Quick Draw, Flipper Pool and a few others. The Card Whiz is my go-to game....I play that more than the others for some reason. It's a great combination of satisfying shots at those drops and joker targets. It's tough, but not too tough. It was Ed Krynski's favorite of his own designs. I'll bet you'll love it.
Mopar - I love add-a-balls too, especially for home play, but only have Flipper Pool so far. I restored a 1962 Friendship 7 for a friend, which is a fun aab.
Sea_Wolf has a Lucky Hand, which is a great one!
StoneyCreek - I like Gottlieb's flipper design back in the mid-70's - they used good parts in all their mechs (with the possible exception of spinners). Not long after, everyone started going to DC flippers, so they became more powerful. If you're going to rebuild yours, just get all the slop out of it, put in new sleeves and bushings - well, just get a flipper rebuild kit from PBR. And if you still want a bit more power, Steve Young sells orange dot and yellow dot coils that are more powerful than the original A-5141 coils. I've never needed to try the yellow dot - orange dot has been plenty powerful enough for me.
