Old Chicago
Bally, 1976I was curious if anyone who has this pin could tell me if the Mauve/Pink part of the Playfield has faded a lot on this Old Chicago that’s for sale. I realize lighting is everything and it might be hard to tell by pictures on a phone. I’d love to have this machine if it’s not a big project.
Quoted from LTG:Maybe a little ?
Doesn't look bad - https://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=1704

Thanks. I thought the Playfield looked pretty decent too. Leery of doing a 3 hr drive one way for a Craigslist pin.
I’ve never played an Old Chicago but I’ve always had any eye out for one and this looks like a beautiful game with lots to do.
I need to bite the bullet and sell my Nitro Ground Shaker so I have room for another EM.
Quoted from dasvis:Pinball pimp offers a really nice stencil kit for Old Chicago. Mine turned out great.

Looks great. Amazing the difference in color between yours and the one for sale. I’m assuming that’s about what yours looked like before.
Unfortunately the owner won’t return my emails asking if he could at least tell me if the machine lights up or starts.
Someone posted an "Old Chicago" with an alternate repainted graphics scheme. It looked great.
I believe those stencils are also available from Pinball Pimp.
Just looked at the photos.
Yup. It's faded. The card tray is as well. Decal available from Pinball Rescue.

Thank planetary pinball
Quoted from jrpinball:They own Bally too?
Unfortunately yes.
Rick the Prick couldn't do without the literally tens of dollars in royalties he would have gotten off Lee and Gordon. He wanted to stick his nose in further than necessary and they decided to tell him to play in traffic.
Quoted from EMsInKC:Unfortunately yes.

That really sucks. It's keeping us from maintaining the older games for the sake of a few dollars. Stupid!
Quoted from dasvis:It was/is a dick move to enforce the tiny royalties that he would make off of these.
Even if Scientific Games has in their agreement with him, he has to protect what he licenses from them ?

Looks great. Not a fan of LED’s in EM pins though. The fade in/out effect is gone with those. Just does not look right.

Looks like a repro based on the authorized holographic sticker.

What company? Was not aware of anything out there on this title.

CPR is going to do another run of this playfield BTW, I reached out to them about a re-run and it's in the works... asked me to contact them in a month to get an update; glad they're doing it, I can use one!
