Grand Slam by Gottlieb with the EM Score Keeper mod. Save your High Scores (and initials) on the Pinball Machine!
Gameplay:
This EM pinball machine has an amazing theme and art package. This game keeps track of men on the three bases (Out-holes). You can advance these men by hitting runs (singles, doubles, triples) or getting Home Runs. When you have all bases loaded and you hit a Home Run, you’re awarded a Grand Slam worth 5,000 points! The spinning Roto-Target tops it all off. A pin that will likely stay in your collection for many years. Not many pins like it in this era.
Has been completely serviced and is completely working. For a full list of what has been done, see below:

**FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS**
Q: I’ve never had a pinball machine. Do they break easily?
A: EM Pinball machines are some of the most reliable and bullet proof pinball machines available. Even after 50-70 years, they typically stop working because they sat for 30 years and didn’t get played, collecting dust. All they typically need is a good cleaning and adjusting of the switches and they start right up again for many, many years.
Q: Can it be taken a part so I can fit it in my car?
A: Yes, the backbox can be removed with 4 bolts and comes off the cabinet. The legs can be removed with 2 bolts on each leg. Once it is disassembled, the pinball machine can easily be carried or moved with a dolly.
Q: If something does need replacement, are parts available to be bought?
A: Yes! The Pinball Resource has parts for nearly any pinball machine at reasonable prices and fast shipping. You can also contact me if you’d like parts. I’m happy to help.
