One of the first games to have inlane/outlane configuration to craddle the ball, etc. Love the mystery score too (based on random score motor position, later used on games like Neptune). Nice pick up!

I was wondering if you finally got one. PM me with the details if you like.
Always dug the overly hot chick and the straight laced dude goof'n on how he ended up in that position. Classic.

And it's not even on his wish list.
Quoted from jrpinball:Ya got three nice tropical themed games all in a row. More maybe?
No more hidden tropical machines. I was lucky to get these especially in such nice shape. The Hawaiian Beauty, in fact, is in fantastic shape. The Playfield looks like new, repro BG... Love the game. And the Aloha is surprisingly more fun than it looks, not much to shoot for, just lob the ball up to the top, but for some reason its fun.

"Hawaiian Beauty" is my holy grail game. Would love to find a nice "Aloha" too.

A nice Hawaiian Beauty is a tough find these days.
Rebound special is a nice feature.

Quoted from singlezero:my unrestored bonanza has the metal posts. im almost certain they are original .
Some debate about this, but you may be right. It's my belief that Gottlieb installed metal posts on some copies of this game, but not all had them. Same with the end of the run. Some "Palace Guard" copies had metal posts, while others did not. I believe it was the last game to have them.
"World Fair" was the first game to have them I believe.
