Picked this game up yesterday. Overall great shape but the guy I bought it from was a wood worker and felt like sanding and staining it. And from the pics I've seen of the original art I can't blame him.

Played this game a lot in the 70's, great game, fairly fast for an EM. The out lanes and lower targets are brutal. The play field and bg look in great shape.

Congrats. I've had mine for about 8 years now. Good flippers and pop-bumpers are key to game flow. Tough to get all the drop targets down and it's tough to win on points too.

Congrats on adding a Gottlieb e-m drop target game to your collection.
Per your collection listed here on Pinside, it appears this is your first e-m. ??

Let us know how you like those outlanes.
Watch your cursing while playing this one.

Imho that playfield qualifies as an "open" style playfield.

I have 3 othere ems triple strike, Aladdin castle and jive time. But those are just shop games. ran out of room in the house and now running out of room in the shop.

Nice At least the sanding was done by a woodworker!
Gotta love drop targets.

Its a fun game. I bought it without turning it on. plugged it in and the only thing I have to do is clean the switches on the 10 point reel. Otherwise it works 100%.

Great pick up that is a fun game. enjoy

this may get me kicked out of the em club, but they don't look completely horrible stained... they don't look "right", but they don't look completely horrible...

it certainly looks better than some of the more creative paint jobs we've seen...

Boilerman we are definitely wanting to paint the cab, so the stencil kit would be fantastic!!

OK Chris, Now your treading on thin ice! Your EM privileges may be in jeopardy.

It takes a man to admit that in front of his peers. Yeah, it beats the contact paper or solid poop brown house paint, but only by a thin margin. Well, if they would have added some finish to give it a bit of sheen it could at least look like a piece of furniture. And take the legs off when your sanding…

Hi, if he doesn’t want the stencils, pls let me know. I have a painted white DaC. Been going to strip paint “someday” but pretty sure original is trashed beneath white.

Oops, just noticed 3 yr old post. But if anyone does have stencils......

Pinball Pimp has the Drop A Card stencils. I’ve bought three stencil sets from him (Atlantis, Quick Draw, King Pin) and it’s a fantastic product.

He (Jeff) also has a great instructional video on YouYube and good printed instructions that come with the set.

$165 which includes shipping.
