Gottlieb, 1965Quoted from VALIS666:Amazing story Dennis, thanks. I hope the museum puts it on the floor one day.
So has any collector owned or even seen the giant-sized The Time of Your Life machines?
I've been looking for one for years. Probably all trashed.
Quoted from sunnRAT:Nightmare City (1980)
The artwork appears to be Jumping Jack or Jack in the Box (Gottlieb 1973), but I didn't know there was a one player version. Was it exclusive for Europe?

Spanish manufacturer Maresa made a 1-player version called Jumping Jack.

Looks like a match to me.

We can see the same pinball in the movie, but in another place, at 8'30.

anatomyofamurder01-big (resized).jpgThe Final Level: Escaping Rancala on Amazon Prime. A low budget Tron knockoff about getting sucked into a video game. The Arcade from "10 years ago" has a lot of pins in it -including a modern Black Knight Sword of Rage.

I think that’s a Lost World Jurassic Park, rather than a Godzilla.
The one on the end might be a late 80’s or early 90’s Bally, with speakers at the top of the backbox.

You are correct. That is a Lost World:

Yep sure is. I must be thinking Stern's next release in a week or two 
Mystery game in Justified S05E02. The Wire's Avon Barksdale threatening a pot dealer with a closer shot from a few moments later.
Usually a lot easier to determine what a game is even after show producers try to obscure things. But the combination of the towel over the backbox in the wide shot and whatever they did to the front of the machine in the closer one have me stumped. Any ideas on what games with yellow cabs would have identifying marks where the coin door should be?
Edit - adding close up from the first image:

Clearly a home pin like fireball.
Quoted from gdonovan:Clearly a home pin like fireball.
Thought it might be, but the cab is too deep to be fireball home edition. Off to check a few others
Edit - looking closer, I think might be it after all. The home fireball has the same two rows of three bolts along the front side.

Look at the picture- The 3/6 screws that hold the lockbar are present and shooter rod and start button are in correct spots. Might be an early version but my money is Bally home pin.

Yeah - edited my post earlier. Had briefly looked at the home version before the original post and for some reason the body didn't look as deep. Looked again after your first post and those 3x2 bolts are kinda dead giveaway.
Edit - maybe it's the black/dark parts running up the corners that threw me off. Not sure, but there's no ignoring those bolts.

Dunno. If it's a Fireball homepin, they re-did the backglass. Even though it's blurry, doesn't have any things that seem to line up to fireball home.

Redoing the backglass is very common.

Can someone help identify the game ?
Gottlieb Fast Draw, 1975
Quoted from gdonovan:Redoing the backglass is very common.
I know, but it seems like it wouldn't even be necessary since the scene is very dark and the backglass is mostly covered.

At this point I assume it's just some POS that a prop house has on offer. Could even be random head on a body. Bolt pattern on the body screams Bally home edition. God knows what they slapped on it for a fake translite. I think I kinda see some dinosaurs/lizards on there? "Ball in play" on the left?

That's exactly what I got from it. Were the home edition backglasses the same dimensions as the full size machines, though?

No unless you are talking 60s single player and I'd say close.
I was watching "Kirby Buckets" on Disney with my Grand daughter and a re-themed Gorgar "Demolition Dexter" is featured in the "All Hands on Dexter " episode. The guys enter a contest where they need to keep contact with the Pinball as long as they can, and the last one standing wins it. Good episode and a pretty good show!
IMG_2734 (resized).jpgIMG_2735 (resized).jpgQuoted from DanQverymuch:Solar Opposites, season 2, episode 1, has the rare bird of a cartoon pinball being a real title![quoted image]
Actually, you're right: that is rare, and quite funny.

Movie IN COLD BLOOD from 1967 starring Dynasty-Star John Forsythe filmed on Location in Kansas City.
A brief glimpse during a fast camera-movement at some machines in a Bus-station with actor Robert Blake.
All of them are at the time relatively new ones from Williams.
From left to right - HOT LINE or BIG STRIKE / PITCH AND BAT or BIG LEAGUE / ALPINE CLUB or SKI CLUB and a FULL HOUSE or TOP HAND.

Quoted from Jackontherocks:Think I found a new one, movie Stripes, couple of pins at least three in the mud wrestling scene but this is one clear shot I could get on one of the pins

It's a rare red TRI ZONE Test-Sample.
@ Dennis - I'm not watching the Geek-Page. I bought that dvd recently.
