Quoted from jrpinball:Funny how sometimes the person repainting the game makes a semi-realistic attempt at reproducing the original artwork. It's like they blew away all the original paint, didn't take pictures, and then said "hmm, I think it kind of looked like this!"
Here's my latest repaint, just finished this weekend. I think it's close 
Webbing isn't perfect, usually these are done too thick, in this case it's a little too thin. The lacquer was not thick enough, had to add corn starch and applied freeze spray to my spray reservoir to get it this thick.

Looks pretty good, like you said, perhaps webbing a bit thin. Where did you spray it, in your garage/basement? Outside? Also, looks like Elmo approves, and are those cat treats I spy on the table? Perhaps you should have a cat avatar?!

Meh, I'm a dog kind of guy, the cats are my wife's and daughters but I get to keep the litterbox and feeding area in my workshop since it's in a remote part of the house. 
I spray outside except small jobs like the stenciled patterns.

This is a Spanish Eyes I picked up, Not sure what they were thinking, The good news is when I went to clean it, most of it came off. I plan to repaint it someday, but for now I'll just tuck it between two other pins.

well, you can console yourself by remembering that we've seen MUCH worse... 
Actually, the stock cab art wasn't that much better. Since it's already been molested, I was thinking about doing something different, maybe using the Spanish Eyes lettering like in the backglass with the roses and dancing people, the stock art is kinda 'Meh'.
Quoted from o-din:Spanish Eyes would look good with a shag carpet exterior.
Thick red shag.

sounds like the 2nd one is possibly salvagable... if so, this might not be such a bad deal...

nice!
i like the bg on that a lot... much better than sinbad...
out of curiosity... what would someone offer for that? i can't get any feeling for the pricing of the crossover games...

730 EOTT's produced. Less than the 4P Sinbad.
I offered $300 and he probably won't even respond to me but if he does I'll let you know where "his bidding on CL" is at 
I may be telling him to try ebay...........
7 hrs. on the road + gas to St. Louis means I can't pay a lot for a game.

that is mike reeder, he is a little shady at times so people say.
There was another Eye of the Tiger down that way last year. The seller was asking $800. I suspect this may be the same machine cleaned up a bit. It's the one transition game I would like to own mainly because I loved my Sinbad but am an Em guy. Like Chris says the art is much better on the 2 Player glass. I'd still consider an EM Sinbad. Fortunately this crossover game doesn't command the same kind of money an EM JP or Charlies Angels would. I suspect because even though there are only 730 EOTT, there are also 950 Em Sinbads. That combined production number is higher than a whole lot of regular Em games.
Edit: I still had pics of the other one and I don't believe it is the same machine.

cool, it'll be interesting to see where the auction is at...
yea i hear you... not a cheap/easy trip... at least gas is a lot cheaper these days...

the bg on eott kicks butt... they should have put the tiger on the pf too instead of sinbad... that combination of artwork would be tough for me to resist... 
i've only ever played a ss sinbad, and only a few times at someone's house where i was lookiing at another machine, but it seemed like a fun game.... i've never even seen an eott...
Quoted from DirtFlipper:Sent ya a note, Hoov.
Replied to your note dirt.....
Doozie's secondary purple and green color scheme and Christian Marche's "pointy people" artwork isn't for everyone, but it is a sleeper of a game. Properly tuned, it's a lot of fun. I restored one and sold it to a local collector... it's still winning new fans at pinball meetups.
Lock the flippers, backhand the ball into the gate open target and through the gate. Hard but rewarding to do. Then work the 100-point bumper when lit... which only happens on the 2nd and 5th X-frame. After that, it's all uphill from there.
I only rolled it once! And only just barely!
And came close once... arrrrrrrr...

Gtb Atlantis for $900 in Seattle:

Quoted from DirtFlipper:Gtb Atlantis for $900 in Seattle:

No lockdown bar, looks kind of rough in places. Is this still a fair price for this title? Atlantis seems to be very popular.

only 3000 miles away... 
Quoted from Noobee:No lockdown bar, looks kind of rough in places. Is this still a fair price for this title? Atlantis seems to be very popular.
imo (and only imo), if it was 30 miles away (instead of 3000), i would at least go take a look at it and maybe try to negotiate a little bit... but it is not completely out of line, and i'd pay 900 for it... but i want one, so my opinion may be skewed...
again, imo... ymmv...
Quoted from Noobee:No lockdown bar, looks kind of rough in places. Is this still a fair price for this title? Atlantis seems to be very popular.
Yes. Needs a new backglass and other bits, but looks like the playfield will clean up nicely. Figure ~$500-$600 in parts (with a backglass and plastics, lockdown bar, plunger, and the rest), and would still have some room all done (if done well).
I wouldn't pay more than 600 like Dirt said. Backglass is shot. 300 dollars plus shipping for a new one and then finding a lock down bar. Can't totally tell from pictures but looks like dark blues on playfield need touch up.
I was figuring 500-600 for parts, on top of the 900 for the game, although 600 for the game would be nice too...

"Gently used Atlantis" LOL *eye roll* This is a project. This is a machine that sat in storage for 20+ years and just happened to light up when they plugged it in.
If this was any other 70's Gottlieb wedgehead besides the obvious Atlantis and El Dorado then this would be a 300 dollar project. Because this is an Atlantis is the only reason I would pay 500 (maybe 600 if I was desperate for this title)
Picture 2 : Ground in dirt. How much of this will actually clean up and how much would be permanent.
Picture 4: Coin Door (100 dollars)
Picture 5: Shooter rod missing or whole thing needs to be replaced (30 dollars) Close up of coin door shows the duct tape residue used on the coin door to keep the door closed plus faded sticker. Have fun cleaning all that crap off. (I know it can be done)
Picture 7: Lock down bar missing (30-70 dollars rough estimate)
Pictures 9,10,11 : Trashed backglass (295 + shipping for new one or BG resto and wait a few months and still pay 300 or find a used one with some flaking on ebay for 150-200 plus shipping plus waiting around for one to pop up for sale (good luck on that one).
Picture 12: you can really see the ball wear on the dark blue areas of the playfield that will need some major touchups
Picture 14: wear around the "5000" insert (cupped insert?) Also wear around the first "Advance when lit" insert (you can see it in pictures 12 and 14)
Picture
Picture 24: Got bondo for the big chip in the wood of the head?
From the pics this San Francisco looks to be in OK shape although they neglected to include a good one of the playfield.

you going to look at it?
Quoted from ccotenj:you going to look at it?
Pretty tempting. It is not far away. But since two more games may be on their way soon, it might be a little more than I can afford right now. Any opinions on this game?

nope, other than i like the way it looks...
last gobble hole game according to ipdb... i shed no tears over the loss of gobble holes in future machines...
Quoted from ccotenj:last gobble hole game according to ipdb... i shed no tears over the loss of gobble holes in future machines..
I don't mind gobble holes that much. The ones on Flipper are especially cool since there are no outlanes. They added a metal ring inside of those that make the ball do a little spin before it drops down.

i suppose with no outlanes they wouldn't be quite as offensive...
at least they gave you a modicum of entertainment on that one as you watched your ball swirl down to oblivion...

I have also played a game where there is a little flap in the gobble hole that lowers the ball slowly. I like that one.
