Gottleib Volley Pinball (1976) For Sale or Trade
Price: $950 or Best Offer 100% working, but sold As Is.
Looking for: Gottleib Jungle Queen (1977) even trade depending on condition or as part of deal for a Stern Elvis (2004) or Stern Elvis Gold (2004)
Pick up preferred (so you can test), but willing to deliver if <30 miles from Bloomfield, NY, or meet half-way if within 2 hours of Bloomfield, NY, or deliver to Allentown Pinfest (May 1st and 2nd, 2015, Allentown, PA.)
Description: Classic Gottleib symmetrical wedge-head pinball with Tennis theme. 3 banks of drop targets (on left, center, and right.) Easy to understand, but challenging to complete rules: complete Blue, Yellow, Green drops for points and all for opportunity at Special (replay.) Great machine to practice target accuracy from either flipper.
As of 4/19/2015 rated:
#54 Top 300 EM machines (7.79 / 10) by IPDB.com.
#60 Top 100 EM machines (7.948) by Pinside.com
Overall condition: Very Good
Backglass: 8 (only one minor spot of flaking around score area)
Playfield: 9 (all appears to be original and in great shape)
Cabinet: 8 (all appears to be original, some small marks)
Known history: Was purchased not working in 2014 from collector outside of NYC. Had wrong legs and was missing backbox door. Backbox appeared to be rebuild, but main table and backglass were both in very good condition. Unit powered up, but did not play. No manual. Unit has been restored to 100% working condition.
Restoration:
Fixed stuck gear (gunked) in backbox preventing reset.
Fixed stuck relay (gunked) when all drops are down preventing getting replay.
Replaced legs (all new.)
Replaced backbox door.
Replaced locks (all 1 key)
Replaced 1 broken yellow "star" drop target (far left of yellow bank.)
Replaced all lights with color appropriate LEDs (any exposed bulbs are "retro" domed lights.)
Replaced flipper coils and set to "hi-tap" (more power.)
Replaced all rubbers including adding super bands to flippers.
Game looks and plays as if better than new (LEDs, SuperBands, Hi-Tap on flippers) except for one very small spot of backglass flaking (just white paint over part of score) and less than average cabinet wear for a machine of this age.
Price:
$950 or
