    That one is hokus pokus love that game.

    #52 7 years ago

    Indeed. One of the best spinner games I ever owned.

    #53 7 years ago

    Another hint- those three musical instrument spinners all appeared on the same game.

    #54 7 years ago

    ok, here is a tough one....

    I figured they did but I don't have the patience to go looking for big band games. Is it game you own?

    Vacation America.

    I was getting ready to post that one.

    When I googled it, it said Elvis.

    Quoted from dmbjunky:

    I do not own this game.

    #58 7 years ago

    Nor this game.

    Swing Along! First Gottlieb Spinner game I believe?

    #60 7 years ago

    We have a winner!!! Perhaps the first ever game to feature spinning targets.

    There's your history lesson for today folks!

    Fireball home version

    #62 7 years ago

    Very good!

    #63 7 years ago
    Quoted from Scottamus:

    Gotta be either a clown or food themed pin. Punchy The Clown maybe? I see a pie shot on the playfield; can't tell if there's a spinner though. Good one.

    I'm going with Punchy also.

    #64 7 years ago

    Round 2?

    Blue Chip may be one of the harder ones to identify. Row 3, 3rd one down. Bon Voyage is in there too.

    I would like to own a Blue Chip. I like the theme.

    #67 7 years ago

    I had one for a while. It's a good game. It might still be here if hadn't gone all two inch flipper games for my EMs.

    I may be one of the only collectors that doesn't have the games I cut my teeth on. Long flipper EMs from the 70s. They are all too darn easy now.

    #68 7 years ago

    I'm just not very knowledgeable. I can only get Last Action Hero, Tales from the Crypt, and Iron Man. Those have to be the obvious ones. One reminds me of Farfalla, another WCS, and another Evel Knieval. What is the diamond shaped one? That looks familiar.

    #69 7 years ago

    I know I see iron man, Apollo 13, last action hero, and tales from the crypt. I think amazing spiderman and strikes n spare are also up there

    #70 7 years ago
    Quoted from CaptainNeo:

    4 of those games I own.
    I'm displeased that you didn't include any zaccaria spinners in the group.

    Got your wish on round 2. Looks like a Hot Wheels in there.

    Viking,,,,Last Action Hero,
    ,Evel Knievel,,Apollo 13,,
    ,Big Game,Blue Chip,,TFTC,Amazing Spiderman
    ,,,,,
    ,,,,,
    Close Encounters,,,IM,Hot Wheels, Lost World

    #71 7 years ago

    3,2 is big game?

    Edit: doh!

    #72 7 years ago
    Quoted from dmbjunky:

    Common Bally spinner. Also see Ted Nugent, Dragon, Liberty Bell, Hulk, Af-Tor.

    #73 7 years ago
    Quoted from Scottamus:

    How well do you know your pinball spinners? Some of these are pretty obvious, others maybe not so much.

    Thank You for a fun and original thread

    #74 7 years ago

    Dragon (4,1)

    Oh, not WCS94. It has a red background

    #75 7 years ago

    high roller casino 4,2. 300 5,1

    #76 7 years ago
    Quoted from mswhat:

    Zaccaria Circus?

    Correct

    #77 7 years ago
    Quoted from Scottamus:

    Punchy The Clown maybe?

    Correct, anybody that wants new decals, just needs to ask an actual PtC owner for the scan.
    That is the only way a person will ever find one.
    They no longer exist, unless Mike Pacak or Matt Elder have an extra NOS sheet.
    I still need to swap out mine for new ones, as there are two different colored sides that make a spin effect.

    #78 7 years ago

    4D,3R is that Airborne Avengers?

    #79 7 years ago

    What about the machine gun fella at the top? Reminds me of LW3.

    #80 7 years ago

    Paragon is the last one. Outer Space, Blackout and Grand Slam in there.

    Update so far.

    Another oddball spinner set.

    Another (resized).jpgAnother (resized).jpg

    #82 7 years ago

    1,3 is Swords of Fury.
    5,6 is Blackout.

    I want to say 2,6 is Spy Hunter.

    #83 7 years ago

    It's Williams World Cup from 78. Got Blackout. I was wondering why that was familiar. Different Spinner from SoF than used before.

    Spy Hunter is 3,4

    Alvin G. Soccer?

    #88 7 years ago

    nobody is going to get row 4 column 4 except me. Since i'm the one that made that spinner.

    Nice to see LIONMAN made it into both rounds.

    #89 7 years ago
    Quoted from CaptainNeo:

    Do you mean column 5? Then it must be Sexy Girl or Miss World.

    Miss World....blue star posts gave it away

    Checking in to see the progress. The non-production girl on a Geiger game is not cool to me. I like to think about the shape, style, detail... to give an educated chance of getting it. I was having fun but if another "too obscure" one pops up I might bail because I love these types of game when done right. We used to do them all the time (10 years ago) from small backglass detail pictures.

    Current found -

    Viking,LW3,SoF, ?, Last Action Hero, Grand Slam
    ? ,Evel Knievel,Outer Space,Apollo 13, ?, Airborne
    Speakeasy,Big Game,Blue Chip, Spy Hunter,TFTC,Amazing Spiderman
    Dragon,HRC,World Cup, Many, Miss World, Space Mission
    300,Airborn Avengers, ? , ? , Hulk, Blackout
    Close Encounters, Jungle, ?, IM, Hot Wheels, Paragon

    Last 4 Missing (updated)
    (1,4) Dragon
    (2,1) TNT - Nugent Found
    (2,5) Flaming Ball thing I know I have seen
    (5,3) face - Af Tor found
    (5,4) Monkey
    (6,3) Sombraro

    I have time for a couple of beers and I'm trying to decide what one to look for.

    #92 7 years ago

    Bottom right is used on Lost World and Paragon IIRC.

    #93 7 years ago
    Quoted from RoyGBev:

    I think you are right. And it would make sense being the same company in the same time period.

    #94 7 years ago

    Nugent

    Quoted from Taxman:

    (5,3) Bird joust thing with wings up or a face?

    Af-Tor

    #95 7 years ago
    Quoted from dothedoo:

    Nugent
    Af-Tor

    Nice, Nugent should have been picked up quicker. But Wico Af-Tor is out there. I've never actually seen one.

    #96 7 years ago

    Af-Tor is 5,3 not 1,4. I'm blanking on 2,5 - and I took the picture! Also struggling on 6,3 - can't seem to confirm what I thought it was.

    Saw, fixed and still confused

    I'm pretty sure I have seen (2,5) (i just hope I don't own it and forgot)

    In all fairness to the poster. I don't think he knew that spinner was customized. As there are only 5 of that game in existence to begin with. Would be hard for someone to realize it's not original. As the original is a kiss spinner which doesn't make any sense. I made it so the girl animates and gives pelvic thrusts during the spin.

    But it's the pelvic thrust.
    They really drive you insane.

    I figured he might have something to do with repro'ing these things. His pictures are so straight on they are not copy / crop pics from IPDB or anything. I've seen some of these for decades and have never seen them that close. Usually just making sure it does a spin and trigger correctly.
