    I have a Gottlieb's Diamond Jack. I was in the midst of cleaning it up and thought that it was in a lot rougher shape that it actually is in, when I saw a Gottlieb Solitaire playfield (exactly the same playfield, even still all in English, although Solitaire was an Italy release) on eBay and got it. Installing this playfield would certainly be one of the last tasks on my list, but I figure that my current playfield is good enough that someone might want it - but I was wondering if anyone would bother with such a de-installed playfield. If I could get a decent amount for the de-installed old playfield, that might motivate me to do the installation - but if not, I might sit on the playfield and wait for the type of collector who would pay the kind of prices for stuff that the Las Vegas museum got and just sell the new one.

    Hello. if it is restorable, I am interested in it. I really dig diamond jack, queen of diamonds, queen of hearts, all of the gottliebs from that era. I have a world beauties game that is a blast. so let me know if you can get a couple pics of it and a couple pics of the wear spots. congrats on restoring an awesome game. if you need one shay makes beautiful back glasses for that title. they are screened, not printed, and his quality is top notch!!
    happy NY. kruzman
