Quoted from pinhead52:OMG, 1 owner in 51 years...pretty sweet Sweet Hearts. If I didnt have 1 right now... 15K on the play meter...
That is one unbelievable low play survivor machine. I would get it and sell off the other. *shrug*

It has those horrible stickers around the bumpers though. I would assume they were installed when the game was new, and so the playfield should be perfect underneath them, but you can never be sure.
Nice piece though.

I had a mint one with 12k plays that I sold in the 70's. It wasn't that much fun imo.

Yeah... I like the artwork, but not a fan of the geometry at all. After that initial plunge, you're more or less constrained to a small lower play area with huge side drains and a central gobble hole. Not much to do except try to "not die".
Compare with 1960 Lite-A-Card and 1962 Cover Girl.

A great Gottlieb EM, in my opinion. Good photo coverage on this one
ebay.com link: Gottlieb CROSS TOWN Pinball Machine
Current price is close to what I paid for mine, though that wasn't on eBay, and I think the pf on mine looks better.
Quoted from pinwiztom:Hope you get it
without having to sell your soul.
Looks like it is in at least decent shape.
Quoted from o-din:How bout lets leave that one to the beaver hunter.
You're probably not going to get that Eager Beaver o-din but if you are:
You might want to google rgp archives for that sellers business name
Be careful out there.........
Here's a nice Sing Along in CA.

How does he get in the door?
Quoted from EMsInKC:How does he get in the door?
Door opens out rather than in, plus a turn sideways ?
Or, there's another door we don't see here . . . .
Sold my Crosstown recently. Why keep it since I have a Sing Along? Central Park is what would look nice next to it.

Seems to me I saw an Eager Beaver repro backglass on one of the European Bingo sites...
Quoted from pinwiztom:Thanks
Since it comes from the EU
i should probably go for the foil?,
to save on shipping and get here in one piece.
As you know i need one of these,
for my spare "not so eager beaver".
Planning a trip to the Netherlands?

I think that's the only way he will ship to USA anyway, just the foil.
Quoted from NicoVolta:Ugh... the "clock games". It and Rollercoaster have them... dull, dull, dull.
I hear they're a lot of fun on multiplayer machines, because it carries over. You can make or break your score with it. Not sure how I would feel about it on a single player game, though.
Also, this one doesn't appear to just be normal scoring from looking at a picture of the replay one (not sure about AAB), looks like an interesting feature unless I'm looking at it wrong. I've never known anybody to own one or any museum around here that has one, I think I would pick one up for the right price just for the sake of having a "different" wedgehead.
Backglass art is different. Not sure how many have a "light blue sky" outdoorsy theme to them, I think it would stand out in a lineup. Not sure if in a good way or a bad way. Now I want to try one!
Also, yet another Gottlieb game where they added an extra digit for the AAB release.
No message? If not, looks like I'll be heading back up to the EM and woodrail superstore! I'm sure something there will fit my needs...
It might be different if the game was in 'mint' condition... but I'd hardly call it 'that'.
Ugly cabinet paint, flipper drag on the playfield...
Backglass looks to be in good shape though... and it IS a great Stenholm glass.
But is it really that 'good' of a game??
Sure doesn't look like it... but I can't really say for sure, as I've never played this title.
And I know sometimes games can fool you.
My gawd, why bother posting this on ebay? What a turd. If it was local I'd offer 100 and then sell chime box and lockdown bar.
Quoted from o-din:Sometimes it is better not to hype up a machine until you have one.
Yes... unfortunately, I learned the hard way on that one.

I was just offered one that didn't even have the lockdown bar and was rusted to shit. They said they had $1700 into it. Yeah, right...

If it was local I would up your bid and offer 125.00.

Quoted from Pinballprowess:Yes... unfortunately, I learned the hard way on that one.
It 's starting to look like if there is ever going to be an Eager Beaver in my future, I'm going to have to pay with diamonds and pearls.
Quoted from o-din:It 's starting to look like if there is ever going to be an Eager Beaver in my future, I'm going to have to pay with diamonds and pearls.
Noooo... I think if you are patient, you'll be able to find a nice example.
Will keep my eyes and ears open, give you a heads-up if I get a line on one.
Quoted from presqueisle:Yes, don't be such an Eager Beaver,
That's funny!
Quoted from o-din:I'm going to have to pay with diamonds and pearls.
As long as you don't lose your raspberry beret...ya know....the kind you find in a second hand store.
Quoted from Rat_Tomago:As long as you don't lose your raspberry beret...ya know....the kind you find in a second hand store.
Yeah... hand truck that Eager Beaver... in through the out door.
Interesting deal........... 
oh o-din.............
