I have a 1977 Playmatic pinball for sale. Working and needs to be shopped out. Good shape. $395.00 OR BEST located in Northern, IL. 61108

Cool backglass with the slot machine reels. I believe the playfield (like many non-US games) is plastic and will never wear. I wish the US manufacturers would have done that - no touchups or playfield swaps.

Great price, cool game, GLWS!

Yeah, those Playmatic games are built like a tank.

Actually wood playfield with a great clear coat on it. I had a Sonic Prospector in equal shape. Nice thing with the overseas companies is most of the parts are equivalent to Williams

Those older games are so cool. And look at all the stuff in there to make it work! You could build a battleship with all the hardware in those machines.

TO ME!

And indeed, I plugged it in (after checking the fuses), and it fired right up and plays perfectly.

Couple Questions:
(1) Where the heck is the power cord supposed to come out? I see no hole on the backbox, cabinet, or neck. I'm guessing there is some unique location for Playmatic.

(2) The Backglass is too high up, and thus the numbers and slot reels don't show as well. I took the glass out and see two small wooden tabs on each corner of the bottom. I bet they're the height that looks wrong. Anyone have any experience with this?

(If no one answers these here, I'll start a new forum thread for them)

Sorry Matt, I never took the backglass out and looked inside. Power should go out the bottom from what I recall.
Thanks!
