    Any of you Gottlieb groupies out there know what the first and last machines were that had arch lighting?

    So is Fun Land the first one that didn't have them?

    I love the arch lighting, but only have one game that has it (Flipper Pool). My others - from 1975 thru 1978 don't....at least they don't now.....muh haa haaaa!

    So I haven't seen many games in person that have the arch lighting - were red and yellow filters the standard colors for that, or did it vary per game?

    (And nice-looking machines, by the way, Vic!)

    And I looked up "Flipper" from November of 1960. So in addition to being the first with arch lighting, that was the first non-woodrail game Gottlieb did and the first wedge-head too? That's a pretty important game - historically-speaking!

    (Sorry if this is all old news to you guys - I'm still pretty new to all this, and I'm interested in the history of the machines.)

    DaMoib - I worked on a 1957 Silver that had some of those filters in places other than the arch - I think they were around the center roto-target...possibly orange or amber. And possibly Slick Chick, if I remember correctly - the targets are kind of color-coded (amber for chick, green for slick, purple for both) and I think some lights near the associated targets had those colored filters on them.
