Picked up my first EM today, and at $100, it seemed like a great deal

Okay, when I saw it on CL I was like.....what the hell is "Mibs"??

Now I see..it's marbles. That doesn't look like it's in too bad of condition...

Can't go wrong for a hundred bucks. Looks to be in pretty good shape too. Does it work?

Yeah, they were like, "It might just be a fuse. Let's see if we can get it working." And I was like,"No, thanks. Here's your cash."
For one hundred bucks and it being so clean, I don't think I would have wanted it to work. I would've felt bad.

I love Gottlieb wedgeheads. Marbles - now thats funny. I'm sure we can turn that into some sort of drinking game

hard to find a worse theme unless you're into broadway plays. How about Spartacus?

I remember playing that on location at a little mom and pop deli on my paper route as a kid in Philly.

Great find for sure.

Super Great Find for $100.00 in what appears to be really good condition!

Have fun with your new toy!

Sounds like it's going to be a good time fixing this peach up! I'm going to need a new rubber set and the coin door is all beat but the plastics are crisp and all the wiring looks tight.
But, yeah, hippie chicks playing marbles... And I think one of the girls on an upper plastic is eating a candy bar? Weird.

I want to see video of the backbox animaton when you get it working. There is ONE video on youtube of this game, shot by someone with epilepsy.

All 12 balls across is one very difficult task. You can only drain once between the flippers or on an unlit outlane. Not much room for error. Great nudger!
