    Hi pinsiders
    First price: The good feeling beeing the owner of the "First / oldest REAL Gottlieb Manual".

    Up to now I am Leader / Winner: I own a printed Manual of "Orbit, December 1971": http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=1724
    How about YOU ? Greetings Rolf

    P.S.: A "REAL" Manual has a Front-Cover-Page and the pages are "put together as in a book" (I do not know the right English word - I am german speaking).

    Update: DirtFlipper mentions: "Snow Derby is the oldest I have for Gottlieb. (Steve Young at PBR could probably provide a definite answer." http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=2229 , December 1970, https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/anyone-know-the-first-williams-game-to-include-a-manual (post-6)

    Hi pinsiders
    in an german forum somebody is looking for a manual "Gottlieb College Queens, May 1969" https://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=543 --- (see post-3) DirtFlipper says +/- "Snow Derby is the oldest Gottlieb with an manual - I did some search --- we can buy Gottlieb manuals starting with Snow Queen / Snow Derby.

    The man (looking for a College Queens manual) claims "There was an manual in Germany but the operator had to order it separately". ipdb shows "post adjustment": https://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=543&picno=10696 -
    my questions: Do You know about the post adjustment - Was it a card attached somewhere in the cabinet ? Was it just a loose paper ? Coming with the pin ? Was it a page in an manual - THE manual ? Have You ever heard of an "Gottlieb College Quens Manual" ? - How many pages ? Greetings Rolf
