I picked up a nice Gottlieb Fun Land today but it's missing the documentation (schematic, owner's manual, score cards, etc.). Would like to find copies of these if available for purchase.

Thanks!

Pinball Resource should at least have the schematic. Not all items listed on website, so best to contact.

There should be a note pinned to the top of this board. If you need a schematic, call Pinball Resource.

No manual, that game was before Gottlieb made them.

For score cards...http://www.pinballrebel.com/pinball/cards/

Reproduction score cards are here:

There is likely no manual for a machine of this vintage. They are mostly useless anyway.

@Scott - I agree with most of what you said

That was one place where Williams was way superior to Gottlieb. Williams manuals were extremely useful. They detailed all the relays and steppers for the games in them.

Agree.....but if you owned a Gottlieb, you may never have had to even take the glass off, so the manual wasn't required.

LOL, now Todd, you're worshipping at the altar of Gottlieb again...

It's just my experience and obviously it can vary, but I've found Gottliebs to be much more finicky and hard to keep dialed in than the Williams or Bally games I've owned. I've found that to be especially true with the later GTB EMs, with those lousy Ax/BX relays and the short throws.

For the most part, when I get a Williams dialed in, it stays that way. I have to open up my Gottliebs way more than I do my Williams or Bally games. But again, your experience might be different. Maybe I've just been lucky.
