Watching MST3K "The Girl in Lovers' Lane". Guy was playing a flipperless 1940 Chicago Coin Strat-O-Liner.

Knight Rider. Episode 417 "Knight of a Thousand Devils" glimpse of a Stern Flight 2000 at around the 25 minute mark.

That 70s Show season 3 episode 3 'Hyde's Father'. Williams Big Deal in the bar of the opening scene.

In the 1976 movie Marathon Man, starring Dustin Hoffman, about 30 minutes in a guy is playing a pinball machine in a drug store. The first shot is of the playfield showing him playing what is clearly a Bally Bow and Arrow. They then cut up to the backbox which is a Gottlieb Polo. That's really a strange mix of machine and manufacturer to put together in the movie.

Watching old 1982 episodes of The Price is Right on Pluto TV. In the showcase showdown one of the prizes is a Gottlieb Volcano. Yes, the girl won the showcase and pinball.

Quoted from Grayman_EM:

Now you only need to track it down from a 39 year old program and buy it.

Haha! Several days later they had another Gottlieb Volcano in a showcase showdown. They must have been desperate to sell those things by any means necessary. So far those were the only 2 pinball machines I've seen on TPIR and both were a GTB Volcano.

Quoted from MacroMegas:

Pam Grier’s sons are playing Harlem Globetrotters when she finds them skipping school in Mars Attacks!

Here's the screen capture of the Harlem Globetrotters in Mars Attacks! Interestingly, the game isn't even on while it's being played.
