Happy birthday! I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks about pinball birthdays. Kind of makes me want to start a thread. (only for the ones that have a new age that ends in a 0 or 5, of course)

Also, just realized the decagon reel turned 50 in November of last year with "Dancing Lady". Very cool.

Quoted from Vic_Camp:

50 Years of greatness and many more to come.
Thank you Gottlieb.

I am glad that even after the long tenure of Gottlieb as a company and its eventual demise that these machines will exist as long as people want them to, especially the EMs (no expirable parts). Thankful.

Quoted from spiroagnew:

I'll have to push this one up in the restoration queue to celebrate. Looking every bit it's fifty years. It was used as an ashtray at some point, as you can see from the bottom left picture.

How's it smell? As expected?
