I got an OXO last year. It’s definitely a keeper and a crowd-pleaser. I went through it mechanically and touched up and clear-coated the playfield, and it plays fast and has a bunch of good shots.

Quoted from wayinla:I’m in the process of restoring an OXO. I find the mechanics and logic fascinating. Lots of relays and being a four player makes for a heavy pin. Playfield is also very heavy with its large back on relays. I haven’t really had a chance to fully play it yet but it seems like it would be fun. I like the pointy people. Great piece of pinball history.
That relay bank under the playfield is massive! I set up a strap hung from the ceiling to hold one end up so I could go through what was under it while the playfield was on the rotisserie.
Quoted from yancy:Is everyone trolling me or what?
I have the flippers set up a little on the low side, which makes the kickout shots doable, but not too easy. It’s always exciting to hit them when lit for extra ball and 5000 points. My favorite shots are the the right and left side rollover lanes. The long shots to hit A and B to open the return gate and light up the middle pop for 1000 points are rewarding, after which I like trying to send the ball up between the side lanes and middle target to hit that center pop for big points. I like the challenge of trying to hit the center target for the all-important center tic-tac-toe spot without immediately draining down the middle. It can also be an interesting challenge to go over the button rollover between the flippers when you need the bottom center square to make tic-tac-toe.
Not trolling, I just think that adds up to a bunch of good shots.
Quoted from bonzo71:The tall heads on some of those late model Gottlieb games are like lead. The older I get, the more I appreciate single player games..
I came oh so close to losing my balance about five years ago when I carried the head of my Jet Spin down the stairway. That taught me to lean way back when carrying them down.
