**SOLD AND GONE**

Selling my classic 1970 Gottlieb Baseball EM. It's all original or NOS/PBR parts.

A couple of teaser pics below. A full set of pictures and two videos are here:
https://www.icloud.com/photostream/#A45yeZFhvz14z

(note: first video is me playing one-handed, and doing awful. Second video my wife took of me playing ... much better! Also, note the hum in the background is my garage heater, not the pin)

More details here of what I did:

-Playfield stripped of all parts, metal bits tumbled for 2 days, larger pieces carefully hand buffed, playfield then given the Treasure Cove treatment, then several coats of good carnauba wax ... then everything was carefully reassembled.

Notable items:
-Vari-Targets cleaned, adjusted and ever so lightly lubed. A good shot will get you a homer.
-All plastics look perfect
-New flipper bats
-New Rubber
-New chromium steel ball
-New bulbs all around
-Backglass was triple thicked. I masked the score windows very carefully. Minor touch up needed, but I'll leave that for the new owner.
-Flippers rebuild (PBR Rebuild Kit)
-New correct pop bumper caps
-New playfield glass
-New Legs, Bolts, Levelers
-New Power cord
-New Start Game Button
-Plays fast and reliable. Plug and play.

CL is still listed as $1300, Pinsider price is $850/obo.

Thanks all,

Brian

Nice job! I have one in my basement for work - a customer of mine picked it up for $200 at a local auction. It needs some love.

Thanks! This one was in far better shape than I expected. I was surprised to see the condition of the playfield and plastics. The colors all around are quite vivid.

A deep price drop for Pinsiders. All reasonable offers considered.

I'm around all weekend to show it. Easy ground-level pickup from my heated garage.

Thanks,

Brian
