Have you been there and or know anyone who has?

I might be planning a trip out there tomorrow. It's 8hrs out of my way round trip. I guess wondering if anyone has gone to see what he had?

OP:this was a excellent example of the game, but was vandalized, hit with a hammer about 10 times. (I don't know much about how or why this happened I was not involved, i got the game at a garage sale)
backglass and field glass broken, high items on field a few have been hit, door trashed, displays broken,

Man, I sure would love to be there. Please post pictures here of your collection all lit up!

In addition to the High Speed listed above, he also has a vandalized Party Zone.

I'm picturing a disagreement that led to a hammer taken to someone's favorite toys, and a divorce... To pick up two hammer beaten pins at a garage sale sounds like it was personal.

Ding,Ding. I had just refurbished a Stern Meteor and a "pissed off girl friend took a hand axe to the playfield".
So said the guy I sold the game too.

That would be fun! Sadly, can't make the trip from Virginia.

I have a Gottlieb Jacks Open that needs a new/used cabinet. I know that the wedge head cabinet went thru several changes over the years but not sure what years would work for my January 1977 game. My guess anything after that but I'm not sure how far back I can go. Any help on that would be great. I will be in Allentown Thursday night thru Saturday. Thanks

OP: Has an exceptionally good playfield which really shines. The plastics are excellent as well. The backglass has a crack in the lower left corner which isn't horrible. Backglass is pretty good otherwise. The cabinet has original paint but it's dry and flaking badly in places. The paint on the lightbox is good. The game is mostly working, but there's an issue with the ball count unit not incrementing. I never did get a schematic and figure it out, so I just put the game away. It might have something to do with the multi-ball mode. The game is very clean inside; no hacks, and everything is there except for the backbox door. Polished shooter, lockdown bar, and push up rod. Legs and cashbox door painted a nice charcoal grey with automotive paint. Very nice card tray graphics. New playfield glass installed. I can deliver this game to the upcoming Pinfest show in PA.

Hopefully this one doesn't get parted...but the math may dictate it does.

Freeplay40 is reproducing all of the Comet ramps.
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/freeplay40-ramps/page/44#post-4356911

I'm working on that with the seller. But want to see it in person before making the purchase. I'm out of the country until Friday though :/ The seller REALLY wants the game to go to someone that wants to restore it. I'm all for it, hardtop and new ramps but does anyone remake the backglass as a translite or vinyl?

Ive been looking for a new backglass because mine is in so so condition. There is nothing out there. You would have to find a used one somewhere is the only thing I could find. Maybe someone else knows of something I wasnt able to come across.

northvibe Try asking Shay Arcade Group. They do licensed backglasses and plastics sets, and they use the same exact silk screening technique originally used by the original manufacturers. He recently announced that he will be making Haunted House, Black Hole, Fathom, etc. I suggest that you go to the Comet group and see how many people would be interested in buying a Comet backglass. Then turn those numbers into Shay.

Good luck,

I have a used one that is faded but otherwise decent (if my memory is correct) if you happen to be heading to the Allentown pinball show next week or know anyone that is. I don't ship backglasses - it just isn't worth the risk in my eyes but I could bring it along to Allentown.

Whoever buys that Comet should pickup these displays from a guy on klov, pretty decent price:

OP: Very nice working, electro-mechanical pinball machine by D. Gottlieb & Co. of Chicago. This is a 1 player or 2 player machine...Play on your own or pit yourself against an opponant! When it comes to pinball, the condition of the backglass and playing field is very, very important! BACKGLASS IS NEARLY PERFECT!...PLAYING FIELD IS NEARLY PERFECT! A few nicks and scrapes on the exterior cabinet. This was the first pinball to feature spinning targets. This machine is from the wild '60s and features 2 Flippers, 4 Pop bumpers, 2 Slingshots, 3 Spinning targets, and 4 Standup targets. Set up for free play but can be easily switched to 10 cent coin play. Disassembles for easy transportation. Fun! Fun! Fun!

Found this over on Mr. Pinball. Evel Knievel EM for this price you better hurry.

That one seems like a scam....

I’m out of country until Friday. I’ll be checking in with the seller Saturday and see if it is still available. I hope it is, really excited for a machine to use a hardtop on and do a nice restore

Is this worth anything?

It's a 1977 Bally Kickoff

Give him $20, haul it off. Strip everything out of the cabinet(the coin door, lockdown bar, etc, all look good), pull the playfield and hardware in the cab and then crunch the cab up for firewood. If the metal bits under the playfield are anywhere near as nice as the coin door, then you will likely make a profit(or have something nice to trade at the next swap meet).

I completely agree with this ^^^^
