Not very much, actually, but it could have rolled over meaning 134,145, but who knows.

I know pinball was still creeping up to it's peak and the games in the 70's usually saw a lot more play with sky high counters on some of them. Condition is king, though, I was just mentioning this yesterday: you see trashed games with low coin counters, and supreme condition games with so many plays, it all depends on the environment they were in and if they were taken care of and maintained or not, and the counters are known to be pretty inaccurate for a few different reasons.

I'll go check mine in a bit.

My Star Jet has two counters in it.
One to keep track of replays ( free plays) currently at just under 27,000.
The other counter is for Total Plays and is currently at just over 67,000;
And from that I would surmise that the Total Plays counter
has been turned over at least once if not twice,
due to the replays being at about 27,000.
Either that or some player was awfully good or the replay score was set too low.

Here's a recent thread on the subject. Enjoy!

Mine says 15,204. I might have forgotten the last three digits already walking back to the computer but I'm pretty sure that's what it said. Definitely rolled, though.

How many of you guys have encountered EM pins with two counters,
I obviously have but not often,
and I believe that operator's goal was to set up a game to award a replay
(by score or special) about 1 game per 10 plays.

So 27K replays for about 267,000 total plays sounds about right??

I had a Texan with 3 in it. I'm not even sure what all they kept track of. It was kind of a Frankenstein game though with a sample serial number. It had 2 lighted jeweled inserts added to the apron as well. Hard to know if the 3 counters were because of it being a sample or some later modification.

Just like with cars these odometers can be rolled back. Buyers beware!

My Williams Jubilee sits on 48.837 plays now, but previous owners have written the older playcounts on the backside of the manual, but it ends in 1985, so i guess it was sold to the "private market" then.

19790301 = 9335
19801020 = 10998
19850605 = 25689
20160624 = 48830

My Spin A Card has 63K games on it.The play field says less.I swear the original rubber was on it when received.A broken Pop bumper, no actual repairs I could see.I think it set,well loved in a home for 40 years,and ever so often somebody tried to play it.That is what the PO told me,and the machine condition backs it up.

Recent local acquisition, 1976 Gottlieb Surf Champ. Story goes 2 years on route, then in 1978 The grandfather bought the game for his niece that stayed in the family until May 25th 2016 when I bought it. Looks like the Operator forgot to to pull his extra meter at the time of sale in 1978. I decide to keep the "Totalizer" intact and hooked up as it works and it is a nice part of the history of the machine in which I never saw one of these before. Wear on the Playfield confirms the total of games played in my mind which the picture shows the original number of games when I purchased it.
