Count-Down
Gottlieb, 1979
Joker Poker
Gottlieb, 1978
Totem
Gottlieb, 1979What would you pay for a 3 game package deal, Joker Poker, Count Down, Totem - for all three games, games are all in nice decent cosmetic shape, minimal wear but bumps and bruises- need to be shopped out and gone over, games seem to be complete but will not be testing them or turning them on etc. Just taking them as is.
I hate these types of posts but this is a tough call. If I break the ice here maybe possible for plenty more games from the same guy.
I'd like to own a Countdown someday--let me know if it's available separately!
As for total price--were they stored in a relatively safe environment? Could be as little as $500 for all 3 if not working. If they work and are in decent shape, easily twice that much or more. Personally, I don't mind some cabinet dins if the pf is in decent playable shape (say, 8 or more) and backglass isn't blown out.
Joker Poker was manufactured as an EM as well as a SS.
I have both a SS JP and a Count-Down and love them both.
CD is so simple, rules wise, yet so addictive. 16 drop targets.
JP 15 drops.
I have repaired dozens of Gottlieb System 1's. The MPU/CPU PCB is a piece of shit but can be repaired. They suffer from corroision and battery acid on the fingers, tracks and components.
The harness contacts, many, many need to be replaced.
The Driver PCB is easily repairable. The Power Supply is also repairable but is a pain to dis- reassemble due to the 5VDC pass transistor.
See this thread for my way of dealing with repairing the 5 VDC pass transistor.

Rottendog sells replacement PS, Others sell replacement Driver PCBs.
The king however is the Pascal Janin MPU/CPU PCB or His all-in-one PCB.
Once you have the Pins all fixed mechanically, harness etc, the Pascal PCBs make the Gottlieb System 1s Rock Solid.
Of Course get the Clay System 1 guide for all you need to know about these Pins.
If the price is right I would grab them. Do you know what the guy is asking for them?

StevenP, where are you located?
I have a CD for sale if your interested.
Good advice pdman, I think I may leave Totem out of the deal for now and work on the countdown and the Joker Poker combo - If JP looks like a pain in the ass to fix I was already thinking pascal boards - so if I can be into that all up and running shopped for around 800 I would probably be ok with that price.
