I have a lonely Gottlieb Star Race machine that is missing a backglass - but am looking to bring back alive, so I put a call out on Pinside for one - and this fine gentleman messaged me that he had one available! He said he would give it to me free of charge (WOW!) - the only catch was that we had to give out 3 free games of pinball to 3 different kids per month, for 3 months - to try and spread the pinball virus to the younger crowd at our Family Fun Centre. Well I received the backglass (haven't opened the package) and just wanted to give this guy props for a) looking to spread pinball to the younger generation and keeping it alive, plus b) very generously offering this very rare part for no charge.
Recently, over the the past winter, I have revived a Gottlieb Genie, Gottlieb Roller Disco, Gottlieb Joker Poker, Williams Black Knight and put them on the floor of our fun centre for people to experience some of the older generation of games (in addition to our compliment of newer pinballs!)
So RWH - thank you once again for helping us out!
