Gottlieb, 1976Quoted from heatwave:" target="_blank"Oh well. I just picked up this 1967 Bally World Cup (SOLD to me!).
" target="_blank">stlouis.craigslist.org link
I remember playing this once as a kid and it's a nice addition to my 4 pins and a pitch and bat game. Go pick it up tomorrow. It needs a little work but seems to be in very good condition overall. I'm excited!
You're going to love that World Cup. Buddy of mine has one...very cool! (Weighs a freaking ton!)
Boy, O-din, you sure are sportin' a lot of wood these days!
First gone were DMDs. Then 3" flippers. Now gone is the Stainless Steel.

That's cool. What game is that on?
Quoted from o-din:DSCN4112.JPG
Quoted from ahanson:That's cool. What game is that on?
That's on the new one, Ali Baba. And that's how the night ended.
I can't say I ever saw an animated tilt before? most definitely COOL!
Quoted from o-din:DSCN4112.JPG
It's got lighted animation with a guy climbing the rope too. This thing is clean as a whistle inside and looks like it hardly ever got played, Even came with the original schematic that now looks like the Declaration of Independence rolled up in a tube hanging in the cabinet. Only thing wrong is the knocker goes off when one of the bells should and vice versa. I'm going to try to fix that today.
Maybe somebody else can chime in but I have compared the two and on Ali Baba which came a few months earlier, the knocker is wired to go off 5 times every time the advance unit advances the guy climbing the rope. The flyer for this game says it comes with drumroll sound effects.
On Buccaneer, it is now called a counter knocker, and is wired to the add counter or credit unit. So I guess they are both working as they should, or did.
Quoted from o-din:I've got a Buccaneer. I really like it!

Her pistol flashes during scoring.
I'm starting to think that cabinet style all lined up may be the way to go. I've got two side by side now but one has shorter legs.

Doesn't your pistol have a muzzle flash when you score?!

Happiness is a warm gun.
Quoted from o-din:Same year, different model-
Go get it!! Right up your alley Odin.

Anyone coming my way that could snag this for me?
Quoted from SteveO:What is a good price for this game?
$700 is good price if glass and playfield are good.
Quoted from Wickerman2:$700 is good price if glass and playfield are good.
It could just be the photograph but to my eyes, it appears the Coin Door, Strike, Insert Bezel, and Legs have all been painted gray or Tijuana Chrome. The "300" in the backglass looks to be faded (common for this game). I am thinking $700 might be a bit steep for this title. Its a fun game but certainly not one many people are desperately seeking.
Quoted from CactusJack:It could just be the photograph but to my eyes
I am half blind so you could be right...
Quoted from SteveO:What is a good price for this game?
I sold mine for $400.00 bout 3 years ago. I let it go fairly cheap though.

a lot has changed in the EM world in 3 yrs.. prices have gone up and number of machines out there are not what they were.
400 3 yrs ago was about right today who knows 550 +/- with condition

Playmatic black flag. Great art on the back glass, no idea how rare it is but most likely no where near worth what they are asking.

You got me excited with that one. Thought though it might have something like this in the art package.

I thought the same thing before I clicked on it.

You need that one to complete your Pirate girl collection. Actually it is kind of interesting aside from the playfield looking a bit like Jubilee.
Quoted from AlexF:You need that one to complete your Pirate girl collection.
Then I would have to get a POTC. Nope, I think I've bought my last DMD and last three inch flipper game. Certainly there must be another original pirate themed short flipper game out there?
Quoted from AlexF:a Genco Silver Chest could add a little character to the garage. I know, like you need more character..
The garage is looking beautiful right now. What I could really use there is more room. It is at max capacity with nothing I want to get rid of.
O-din, I share your interest in classic art and I think I get your preferred style of gameplay. Most of my classics are 2" as well, but I have found a few nice 3" games which shake up the variety...
Gottlieb's King Pin gets heavy replays around here from people who like modern games as well as the classics. I think it is the best horizontal target shooter (ahead of Toledo, Jacks Open, Jack in the Box). It also has two mini-flippers up top, so that kinda counts, eh? I noticed most of your games have circular flow and scattered targets, so it might be too linear for you. But it is quite good and has that "just one more" quality to it.
I think anyone who has a diverse collection of pins should have at least one middle-pop game in the stable. They're great for adding variety and learning new skills. Spanish Eyes and Freedom are the only two middle-pop games with 3" flippers. I really like them both. The speed of Spanish Eyes might not be your thing though... it's pretty wild... and the art is off-putting for some but I love it. Freedom is even more fun but they only made 100 with the middle-pop so it is fairly unobtainium. I think you'd like it. Lots to do.
However, if it's just got to be a 2"... Magic City has gorgeous artwork and a middle-pop. Considered it?
The only others with 3" flippers which come to mind as possible candidates might be Old Chicago and Rancho. Great artwork, flow, and challenge on both. Given either a thorough try?
