Gottlieb, 1975
Quick Draw
Gottlieb, 1975My parents have a few horses and kind of a western theme going on at their place. I am thinking about hunting for something for me and my dad to tinker with. I have zero experience with EMs but am interested in getting my feet wet. I would like to find something in the $500 or less price range. I/we like drop targets. Thoughts or suggestions?
Quick and Fast draws are all over the place. Last one I got it was $200, granted it needed alot of TLC and a new glass but atleast it was something to start with. I've got around $2000 into my keeper one, which I only paid $500 for. Its just how far you want to take something. Keep looking.

Besides what is mentioned above a few other good choices would be Lawman/Sheriff, Big Indian/Big Brave, and Dodge City. Flipper Cowboy is pricey and Wild Wild West, Bonanza & Coral are ok players. There's 50's western themed games like Silver, Straight Shooter, etc., that are hard to find and play slower than the 60's and 70's games.
If you're okay with a Horse Racing theme vs Western, the 1969 Williams Post Time (aka Paddock) is a fun game that I picked up for my father-in-law (racing fan) that he really enjoys. Fun game, plays fast, ok looking. Standup targets, but no drops: http://ipdb.org/search.pl?any=post+time&sortby=name&searchtype=quick#1853
A couple of pre-flipper pins are Keeny COWBOY and
Gtb BORDER TOWN. Both have great artwork and if you
can find them might be had for $500. Have both but not for sale.

Quoted from Hougie:I know where I can find some 50s woodrails like Straight Shooter and Silver. How are those as players?
Those are both good titles, although I'd give the edge to Straight Shooter over Silver.
Um, what other woodrails can you find though?

If horse racing will work look at Hot Tip. I own this machine and it is fantastic! It's Williams first ever solid state. It's still has chimes for sound.
