Checked with the seller last night about 10pm cst and he said it was still available. I would get it but looks kinda boring to me. Plus wife threw a stinking fit over all the other crap I get so.....

I owned a Target Alpha for 6 months and was happy when it left. Just not fun for me but to each their own. Great artwork and colors.

Quoted from DirtFlipper:Cow Poke at an estate sale this weekend in CT:
Wow! That takes me back. That's exactly how I got my Cowpoke about 15 years ago. Advertised in the paper with the title. I was about the 30th in line. When I was let in, I went straight to the basement, grabbed the tag took it upstairs and paid for it. If I recall it was about $350. I still have it.
Sing Along and Palooka. I know the seller and he said he is flexible on the prices. Both have nice playfields and backglasses.
Im going to be posting my Jungle Queen on craigslist soon, so I thought I would toss it on here first. Resets, but doesn't kick out a ball or advance the next ball. Really nice backglass, cabinet in pretty good shape, playfield is pretty nice other than wear by the kickouts, and the plastics are really nice. Wedge Heads are starting to take over my spare bedroom and I don't really have room for this one anymore. I can get more photos of course. $550 obo

This one is complete spam.
Every once in awhile one comes up that I have never heard of. Williams Roto?

Quoted from AlexF:Every once in awhile one comes up that I have never heard of. Williams Roto?
You've never heard of it because it is a 1969 Williams Expo! I should know; I own one.
Edit: Hmm, the backglass does say Roto. I've never heard of it before either. It does show up on IPDB as model number 369 with almost no info. Expo is model number 366 - must be a rare version of Expo. As far as I can tell, it is exactly the same as Expo except for the name on the backglass and instruction card. I stand corrected!
I have heard of Expo. This one looks to be the same machine with a different name. Odd.
http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=2020
No pinside member or pinball owners members seem to own one.
I took a closer look at that Roto and WOW! It's a lot different than Expo. Was I ever wrong in the post above! The left side of the playfield is essentially the same but the right side is very different. Instead of the "East Gate" for the right outlane, there is a mini-post. Instead of the "Star Gate" at the right top there is a stand-up target that looks like it puts up the two mini-posts protecting the outlanes. The center pop-up post between the flippers is gone completely.
The graphics in the middle of the table for "SELECTION" is different and the triangle and trapezoid graphics on the playfield are also different.
The IPDB now shows more information. The primary information there is that Roto is the AAB version of Expo with no game count reel and window, with this note: "We don't know if this game allows only one extra ball per ball in play or if it is add-a-ball. Williams documentation does not indicate that this game is add-a-ball but one of Steve Kordek's many handwritten lists of games does indicate this. We note that the backglass counts Ball In Play, not Balls To Play as typical of add-a-ball games."
Norm Clark, or someone at Williams must have really liked the layout as it appears again in 1979 on 3 Jokers/Straight Flush in single player form (and spinner in center of playfield).
Quoted from pinwiztom:Also looks like the left outlane might be set up for a kick back lane.
No, that's just that super wide open Double drain-lane-unless-the-gates-open left side like on Jive Time. But at least Jive time had a special there as part of the gate. That floating gate seemed like one of the strangest features I had ever played.
And at least Expo has the upper gate (like Doozie) and lower shooter lane gate both of which Roto is sadly lacking. One must assume they wanted much shorter ball times on Roto.

Manufacturer: Williams
Game/Type: Dealer's Choice / EM
Year: March 1974
Production: 8,850
Cost: $300
Location: Danville / San Ramon, CA
Link/Contact: sfbay.craigslist.org link
Condition: Nice looking pin for $300. There are four flippers on Dealer's Choice. OP: "...Our old school Williams Pinball Machine is looking for a loving home. It's in fair condition, because we've enjoyed it for many years. All flippers (there are five), lights, scorekeeper, and sounds are in working order. The main flaw is the ball counter (that thing that tells you how many turns you have left), which is blurred out. However, the light behind the ball counter is fully functional."
Quoted from CactusJack:And at least Expo has the upper gate (like Doozie) and lower shooter lane gate both of which Roto is sadly lacking. One must assume they wanted much shorter ball times on Roto.
And add to that the missing "extra" post on the left outlane. Those are some gaping gaps for the outlanes AND no center up-post. Roto must be frustrating to play. 
I'm glad I found the Expo version.
Quoted from Pecos:Those are some gaping gaps for the outlanes AND no center up-post.
I would think that would make it a better game. Change out those oversized flippers for some two inchers and then you would have a real winner. 
Here's an early wedgehead in North Jersey.

Scored the Cowpoke today . 75 ppl at this estate sale I was the first in line and pulled the trigger
Quoted from chrisnack:How does a EM play compared to a SS?
Some of the early SS play similar to some of the later EMs but don't feel or sound as good. Some titles called crossovers came in both varieties but the EM versions are usually more desirable.
Quoted from chrisnack:Cool stuff in here... How does a EM play compared to a SS?
Get thyself to the PHOF, stat!
Quoted from pinwiztom:PF on that Tropic Isle is nice,
but going to need to find a repro BG
I went to look at that game last year. He only wanted $400 then. The playfield and plastics are in great condition, but the rest was meh. He wouldn't budge on the price and was getting a little annoyed, so I left it be. It's in a shed out in his (junk) yard.

Beats me. Here is another one for you Chris, everyone's favorite:
Manufacturer: Williams
Game/Type: Jubilee / EM
Year: June 1973
Production: 7,303
Cost: $375
Location: Tempe (Phoenix), AZ
Link/Contact: phoenix.craigslist.org link
Condition: OP: "The backglass is in decent condition with nice bright colors, but has some touchup. It has been sealed, so no further damage will occur. The playfield is in good condition, with new pop bumber caps and skirts. The cabinet is fair condition and has extensive touchup. Also, the metal back door was missing, so I fabricated a wood back for it, I have gone through the game, waxed the playfield, and given it a tune up, so it plays great. What it lacks in condition, it makes up for in game play. This would make the perfect game for the first time buyer. Its fast, fun, and fairly inexpensive for a completely shopped and working pinball machine."
