I’m looking for two cabinets, and I’ll be traveling to the York PA show in October, so I can pick up along the away, of arrange to pickup at the show. If the show doesn’t happen I’ll still drive up to PA late September to pick up three pins.

I’m looking for a Gottlieb 80B cabinet, the kind with two buttons to enter high scores in the front of the cabinet. I really only need the lower cabinet, because of swelling, but I’ll take a full cabinet if you have one. I think system 3/premier were the same as 80B. I’m also open to buying a project/players pin like Raven, Bad Girls, etc. If the cabinet is in good condition.

I’m looking for a standard sized Gottlieb system one cabinet. It for a Joker Poker but can be any title.

It may bolt on the same, but it's got a hinged double backglass, so I assume it wouldn't really work too well

I just acquired a Bally Playboy project. Does anyone have an empty backbox of that era? Mine was literally "dropped on its head."

Thank you!

Looking for a Bally SS pinball head about 1979. The machine I have is a Star Trek, but any from that era should work. Don't care about paint or boards, as long as no water damage..

Looking for a 1984 Gottlieb Touchdown head. With backglass would be great, however, I am interested in whatever is available, even a project. This is the “thin” head when Premier took over Mylstar. I could alternately use any of the following 1984 Gottlieb title project heads: Alien Star, The Games, El Dorado City of Gold, or Ice Fever, as they were released after Touchdown. If anyone has any leads, please send me a PM. Thanks for your help and assistance.

Looking for Bally solid state backbox with hinge, latch brackets and backglass lock bar. Solid state with typical v shaped cutout for lock. 79 to 82 I think.

Have a line on a Future Spa one now in a few weeks but can't hurt to have a backup plan in case it falls through.

Me: Seller is willing to deliver to a Fastenal store for shipment. From the pictures in the ad I don’t see any cabinet swelling and that’s rare because 80B cabinets were made of mdf. If you’re interested in the cabinet make sure to request close up pictures of the edges of the cabinet.
