I know most folks here are solid state pinheads, but if you are looking for a classic game in great shape, freshly restored, have a look-
1965 Gottlieb 'Wedgehead' Flipper Pool. AAB version of Bank-a-Ball. BG 9, PF 9, Cab. 9. All pool balls in great working order. New playfield glass, leg levelers/bolts. Many new PBR parts including flipper buttons, shooter bezel/spring, coin entrance plate and chrome end pieces. Would make a great addition to any classic wedgehead collection. Very detailed, rails removed and re-grained, new rail nails, motor board sanded/cleaned. All mechs. cleaned/serviced/rebuilt. Varathane on PF, inserts leveled, very minor touch ups. Includes all paperwork.

$1250 delivery to Allentown possible.

Buy w/confidence! I bought a game from stashyboy and would do so again. Does b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l work/resto's.

3 1/2 hours travel????...for the love of the hobby that's nothing! ; )

well, it would be 7 hours total, but i'm trying to talk myself into it...

That is a more than fair price on such a beautiful example. Someones going to be very proud to display it in their home.

yes it is...

Beautiful machine, great job. The 1965 score is a nice touch.
Not all of us are solid state fans... I love all pins! My current wishlist includes Centigrade 37, Dancing Lady and Balls-A-Poppin. Would love to find one of these... in Europe.
Good luck with your sale.

Hows that talk going for ya'? ; ) I picked up a CV and it was a little over 14 hours round trip...others have traveled way more.(no pressure : ) I find the trip part of the fun. If it is affordable and you enjoy it it's worth it.

Best of luck to you what ever you decide.

as usual, the "rational" side lost out... so it's possible the herd might grow a bit soon...

; ) Just having some fun with you.(hopefully!) What ever size the herd is it's all about enjoying what you have.

Thanks for all the nice comments and Karma guys, the game is spoken for. Maybe I should have asked more?! Anyway, it will be going to a long time classic game collector in our region, so that's good karma too! Two quick stories- that 1965 score was not staged, just happened, so I felt compelled to snap a pic. Yesterday just before I took it apart, played one last game and *finally* rolled the sucker!! I try to set up my games for liberal play (ask Cash Rip), but this one is just really hard. Real nudging skills, and more than a bit of luck required to do it. On to the next project....Sweet Hearts.

Congrats on the sale. Somebody got a very nice game.
