Not too much information on this machine, even to the point that IPDB states that it's not certain if the game was ever put into production! Does anyone have any additional information on this machine and if, by chance, anyone has one they're looking to sell please PM me!

Mr. Pinball Price Guide states less than 10 made and the value is $$$$$

Super rare and talk about finding a needle in a haystack!

Here's a link from Clay's site: http://www.pinrepair.com/gtb/twinhoc.htm

Thanks hoov! With less than 10 made I cant imagine how many have survived! If someone comes across one let me know!!! I would love nothing more to have it and I will give it to the wife as an anniversary gift!!!

1952 and 10 made....Good luck with that.

I'm guessing if you could shake one loose it would probably be crazy money. Maybe Mermaid money, but you can't blame a guy for trying. It's too bad it never made into production it looks really interesting.

How about a Silver Skates? With some luck and a little patience you may be able to dig one of those up.

Steve Young at PBR now has all the original Gottlieb files and paperwork on hand (and it's a stunning collection of stuff). He may be able to shed a bit more light on it, if the file for it survived.

Agree, thought it would be a neat game to have but appears to be a pipe dream!

Really? I'm not sure if I should be bummed or relieved I didn't see them. Lead me not into temptation...

yes, really. One was on ebay, a couple on CL. All sold and gone of course.

Probably cyclical though, so won't have any appear for another ten years....

Why doesn't this surprise me? 10 of these games made and you have 1 of them. Kinda like a beer-can car.

I don't have one of them and leave my beer can car out of this!!!

My mistake, took it as you found one, being the lucky bastard you are!! \

Unfortunately, as you can see from the above post, this is one of those rare machines and, more than likely, unobtainable! IF I would find one I may have to sell the beer can car to get it (that's not going to happen)!

When I spoke with him last week, he mentioned he was contemplating how to make it available yet pay for the work of dealing with it.

Yea, that's pretty cool huh? How do explain the 'open container law' with that one?

The "hood" opens up and there is a "tub" that holds a barrel of beer. The front of the car opens up where the "mouth" of the can is and there is a spout. The hood ornament is a tap handle. So it's a fully functional tap system in the front of the car. The engine is in the back!

Has a whole new meaning for "Lets take the party on the road!" That car really means it!

When MeSz yells 'road-trip' - he's not foolin' around!
