Quoted from EMsInKC:Eh, Gottlieb pops can't compare to the DC pops Williams used in the 70s. It's like comparing a Model T to a Corvette.
Even Bally's 50v pop bumpers of the 60s are way stronger and faster than a Gottlieb bumper. Now, if we're going to compare apples to apples Gottlieb bumpers are fine, but I wouldn't agree at all that they are the best EM bumpers ever made.
Ahem...the beauty of pinball...to each his own.
I love the power and the solid feel of Gottlieb pops.
Bally and WMS just don't feel the same.
WMS from the late 60's are really lame.
Again, to each his own.
I recall a lot of carping about Stern flippers when they started releasing games. Folks said they just didn't feel like WPC flippers. True, but I've really grown accustomed to them, and now love them on my IMVE.
Whatever you like or prefer...play a game tonight...
