Got my first machine today!

For sure! Hey, do any of you all know if the pop bumpers are always supposed to be lit? The bulbs currently in are new but they don't light! Any idea on how we can light them?

I played one a bunch at the ohio show. Good game and a wedgehead is a great start.

From looking at IPDB pics, the pops say 1000 when lit on them. So there must be a way to light them. Maybe one of the lanes at the top. Maybe the vari target.

You might clean the bulb sockets. There could be some corrosion in there.

Nice! Always great to see a new collector in the hobby. Gotta love starting out with an EM as well.

That game reminds me of Williams Olympic Hockey where there are normal score reels but it also keep score for how many pucks you got in the net. I bet this game would be fun in the two player version, Gridiron.

Congrats on your first game! Looks like you're already having lots of fun with it.

If they didn't come with the machine, you'll probably want to order the manual and schematics for the game which will really come in handy for troubleshooting and general information:

My friend's first game was a pro football. Looks like yours is in better condition then his. Congrats on your first game.

I got my first pinball machine today, pro football by Gottlieb!

I noticed you said "first pin". Hope you have plenty of space because I predict "more pins".
