Quoted from jrpinball:

Two very fun games. "Mini Pool" was like my fifth or sixth game ever. I have since sold that one and have an improved copy. I have fond memories of it from back in the day. "Paradise" is just tremendous. One of the best multi-player games ever. I wish Gottlieb had made wedgehead versions of it and "Pleasure Isle". They would have been the best wedgeheads ever.

this is whats going in the space , to the left of paradise, which is my favourite wedgehead of all time . my second one. I saw your post for a trade for a majorettes for your pleasure isle and just smile at that, because that makes for the most interesting trade I have ever seen .(mine wont be entering that discussion though)

Quoted from Mopar:

I too like Majorettes, but recently I've been going to the Subway (when I do play),
and also Diamond Jack..
Not very often (if ever) do I see a League Leader in a game room. I have that and
Scientific Machine "Batting Practice", and if I trade off one, I'm thinking the
Batting Practice and hang on to (what I believe) the rarer League Leader..
How do you like it's game play? I'm thinking I never had the opportunity to ask
anyone till now.. (T)

tbh I cant really tell you. *L* its sort of in queue to get going and it is functional except the catch is missing for the ball release on the top of the conveyor belt? there was a pop can sort of cut metal that I was too worried would cut or shaffe the existing leather belt which id never be able to find. Actually that's funny as I was talking to a friend this morning and were discussing that exact game to go through it.

As for rare, it is pretty novel that it is one of the few pitch and bats you hit the ball in the air. there was a restoration of one done that I commented on and discussed with a pinsider "izzy"? https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/keeney-league-leader-pitch-n-bat-restoration#post-2571835 I know I had a few emails back and forth with him .
Also , I know the owner of bgresto at least owned one at one time as he mentions it in why he did that games bg

Quoted from willbeEM:

I picked up this Marathon recently. The front has been painted black, the door ...original? Anybody have a picture of a original design? Also curious on the green legs. Did Gottlieb just randomly paint the legs different colours?

the pics at ipdb appear to show a painted door, yours looks to be original according to the flyer

that tic and toc seems to combine or use elements of a lot of pool games. the pool player on the left had me go look at 8 ball, a little bit of target/mini pool for game play with drop targets added. what tic and toc have to do with pool though i dont know . looking in translation in italian doesnt bring anything up either

#10396 6 years ago

all these amazing restores , i thought id share this . its a CDN buy/sell site but if anyone was looking for one this might be attractive. remember its CDN funds which makes it just under a 1000US

Quoted from Mopar:

That's all your machine needs is the ball release?
I never had my opened. I'll see about getting to the
back of it and see what type of release it has. Has to
be like a springy metal flap. Maybe something I'll be
ably to form..
Mine will be needed quite a bit of work. Much is frozen,
but I've been there many times before. It won't be
anything new..

We got this working last week . it didnt have a spring release really. when i bought the machine , someone had made a catch of pop can metal to grab the ball . it worried meas it was loose and it would be impossible to find another. ted(novaguy) jimmy mcgivered a solid rounded piece that take the ball exactly as it is supposed to . As for game play it is a very difficult game and can last a bit of time , if you miss the ball it doesnt count to a strike or an out (3 outs ends game). the biggest dissapointment is there is no bell system in the game , or at least couldnt find where one should have been. the youtube video plays without one as well.

#10834 5 years ago

the sea shore is indeed beautiful . as one person who played mine commented, it is a bit more fun than a buckaroo although similar , it isnt as closed off being able to get the ball back easier into the upper playfield . i suposed "best playing" is relative to what you compare it to. the one thing that has stopped me from doing a full strip down on mine is that purple 4 hole skirt for the dead bumper. what do you plan to do there as to date ive been unable to find one

Quoted from pinheadpierre:

Next time I might give it less time in the dye or mix the dye weaker for more color control, but I'm pleased with the result.

that does look good and a great solution. i suppose id do both the 6 hole and 4 hole to match . id be a bit concerned how it would wear though , with continual ball play. would the edge turn to white after several games?
