Gottlieb, 1976The ad has been changed.....
No reference to the Volley or KOD. Still the same pics of Darling.
He now states that he's "selling a Pinball machines thatis still working" and to "contact me if instreaded"
and his pics are from Pinterest.

A quote from My Cousin Vinny comes to mind.
I think I'm going to offer $100 for the Darling just to see what happens. Of course, with my luck, I'll drive 90 minutes only to get mugged!

For this trip, with this seller, plenty of "treaded in" tires is mandated.

I offered him 100.00 last week. He wouldn't take it. But that was last week.
Ask him if it's still blowing fuses.

I'm really enjoying my Little Chief. It's a game that grows on you.
Quoted from gottguy:cnj.craigslist.org link
ROFL... "The unit is all original (no Chinese reproduction)"
Whew... what a relief. I wasn't certain with so many fake EM's out there...
Quoted from AlexF:I'm really enjoying my Little Chief. It's a game that grows on you.
It sure does! Such a simple looking layout... almost like Big Ben which might have you believe it's also a dog. But the rules, layout, and multiplayer aspect have something special about them. Maybe it's the bonus gate? I dunno. Doesn't look like a winner but it's solid.
Quoted from NicoVolta:ROFL... "The unit is all original (no Chinese reproduction)"
Whew... what a relief. I wasn't certain with so many fake EM's out there...
Oh, man! Now I gotta go and check all mine to make sure they don't have a "Made in China" sticker on them somewhere!

"since it has solid state components, the reliability is far superior to the EM versions." lol

Heck yeah, Uncle Jed! Them System One games is bulletproof!
Quoted from jrpinball:Heck yeah, Uncle Jed! Them System One games is bulletproof!
Yup - nothing says reliability like antique bleeding edge technology.

Just an update :
I sent a text today asking for pics, I got back the single backglass pic from the ad. I asked for some cab picks, that's when I got a phone call......
How much was I looking to spend?
Bad news, not working.
Also, some guy supposed to buy tomorrow.
Send me pics anyway, you know, just in case...
Ok, yeah, I'll try, basement being worked on, etc, etc.
Deal with confidence here! 
wait...new ad.
Now that he knows the word is out, he's changed the ad to non working. Still no pics of the actual game. Still some fine grammar and spelling.
BTW, he has part to put in, but I'm pretty sure that he doesn't have a clue. He asked me what fuse to replace the blown one with. As of last week he didn't know how to fix it, maybe he's found the problem. I guess you can ask what part it is that he has to put in it, but hasn't put in it.
OH! And if you know what the problem is, you can make a better deal. Personally, I think you can make a better deal if you don't know what the problem is. I'm also wondering how he doesn't know what the problem is, yet he has the part to put in.
Another fine product of our education system.
Told me that fuse didn't work.
I actually did get 1 new pic of Darling, ,,,,
On a tv screen.
Now he's trying to sell me a Diamond Jack!
I got pics of that machine, also on a tv screen.
This is fun!
Quoted from DropTarget:I hate when the fuse stops working.
A pic on a TV screen? Huh? Splain!
Why not just go ahead and 'bulk call' Alex? Crank yankers anyone? "Donkey Kong!"

Ok, I'm abandoning further discussion of this ad so nice EMs can come back to the forefront.
Quoted from cantbfrank:Here is one that you don't see every day

Hey Frank! Thanks for posting this. Hey "Dono" is this yours?
Well, now he's selling the "Diamond Jack" to anyone "instread". This one is number 13 out of the 20 they made!

Looks good, decent price

(Legs are off but are included. Just makes it easier to load into a vehicle without them on)
While true, I'm thinking it's not easier getting it off the floor

I'd be sure to take the head off, too, before transporting. Nice game -- I regret selling my Target Alpha.
Quoted from jodini:Well...if it's for real, it's a deal! But I have a bad feeling it's a scam.

Abracadabra for $210?
Come on, it's CL. The $10 is for negotiating. His real price is $200.

stlouis.craigslist.org linkAbracadabra for $210?
I think it's a real game, but we will see about the process....
The guy lives about 15 minutes from me and I'm going to see it tomorrow. A little nervous because he said "there has been a lot of response for it, it might come down to a bidding war". I'll give him an offer based on condition but definitely not getting into a 'bidding war!'.
He also has a Midway Rifle Champ game for sale on Craigslist.

$175 for a "working" rifle game? If only I was closer...

Space Odyssey 300.00
Thats funny DropTarget....link goes to a Royal Flush for $3500.00
I guess it’s a Craigslist add “Space Odyssey”
Quoted from DropTarget:Yeah,
I posted it in CL laughs.
At least he has actual pics now.
"if you have a better price let me know"
Yeah, I'm sure everyone who might come and look at it will give him a "better price"!

EM? Not! Tsk, tsk. You've been warned about this before! 
Quoted from Vic_Camp:What if you put a set of chimes in it? You could say it's almost an EM....
No such thing, Vic. It's like a woman saying she's almost pregnant. It either has an MPU, or it does not.

Quoted from jrpinball:EM? Not! Tsk, tsk. You've been warned about this before!
Plays like an EM. Close enough for me.
EM's have MPUs. Its just the giant board on the bottom that uses relays and solenoids instead or transistors. A switch is a switch! LOL

"Cash on the glass". I like that attitude. No nonsense there.
Quoted from jrpinball:No such thing, Vic. It's like a woman saying she's almost pregnant.
Is it too late for birth control?
But as Vic has said some of those Gottlieb System 1 games have the EM feeling to them.
