It went up another $1000 while I was sleeping. I have decided that taking a long nap is much more affordable than dealing in high end woodrails.
Quoted from jrpinball:Personally, I didn't think the gameplay looked all that bad on the video, but a very knowledgeable local woodrail expert (he owns almost every single-player Gottlieb woodie) agreed that although it's rare, it's a dog.
Mebbe so, but a couple other things: I don't know much about woodrails, but I don't recall seeing a pin from this era (or any earlier than this) that had 4 flippers. Also, the kick-out saucer between the lower flippers seems like a very unusual feature.
This is one I'd be most curious to play . . . but nowhere near 12K curious.
Quoted from Heretic_9:I don't recall seeing a pin from this era (or any earlier than this) that had 4 flippers.
It isn't that unusual as most of the early flipper games had more than two, sometimes six.
I, for one would like to see all these woodrails.... all this Americana, stay right here in the U.S.
But at least we still have some wonderful collections here like Richard Lawnhurst's (probably the nicest in the world). Now THERE'S a collection that needs to stay in the states and go into a museum here. Also hoping the Pacific Pinball Museum will finally find a suitable building that can house all the woodrails that Gordon Hasse donated and all the other ones they have amassed. Other fine collections are here if you know where to look.
But even more so, I'm glad there are people who keep the love of these EM's alive. Going to the shows and looking around, I don't think there is too much danger of the interest in solid-states dying out. That's not what my eyes are telling me anyway. And nothing better when dyed in the wool, solid-state people come around to the EM's.

Amazing prices not limited just to their woodrails. A Gottlieb coin box went for over $200. this morning ! It might not have been in quite as nice a condition, but I bought one of these for 1/4 of that price not very long ago -- including the shipping.
Glamor is now over $12,000.
For less than that total you can get these two.

Good! I'm thinking about passing on a couple of my real nice ones including this colector quality Steeple-Chase at a fraction of the price of this one and half the price of either the Gusher or Sea Wolf. Just to free up some space and let somebody else appreciate them. Feel free to PM me if anybody is interested.
This one has a perfect backglass and an NOS playfield installed. All original cabinet paint as well.

Quoted from Shapeshifter:Looks very nice!
Thanks! And I have a heck of a 2 for deal if anybody is interested.
It is a very nice NOS playfield. 
Smooth as butter. That's an old pic before I flipped the flippers.

Somebody hurry up and get this before he gets banned from this thread as well. 
Quoted from o-din:It's got your name written all over it boob. You do want to be part of the fun crew don't you?
Already in. Thanks to guys like you, I'm restoring a Jacks Open. I always say that EMs are a necessity in the pinball world: they're the only games you're still able to play when you're drunk.
Not sure if this has been posted yet. Not a full game, just the head. Perhaps if you are local, you can wheel and deal for it.

Gone - I would have bought it too.... I owned one many years ago with a terrible cabinet that was painted white. Sold it not thinking I'd never run into another one for 30 years.
I played this title almost every day as a kid at Nellis AFB in Vegas.
Quoted from dmbjunky:Are there plugs? LOL Sorry I haven't looked at my project EMs close enough to know there are plugs. I guess they're in the bottom cabinet right?
Who gave this guy his EM card?
