I've always had a simmering love affair with EMs, but two things happened recently that brought it to a boil. First, I had a great game on Abra Ca Dabra at the Pinvasion tournament at SFGE. I think my score was in the top 10 for the weekend. Needless to say, it was better than making out in the back seat in 1978 with a bottle of wine. THEN, THEN, I bought a beautiful Jumping Jack at SFGE (pics to follow, I can't stop playing). Once I installed the new Shay repro backglass, something magic happened - the game came alive for me. I had two great games in a row (the last one was 75,600).

Now I'm looking all over for more 70's Gottliebs. I love Gottliebs more than zombies love brains. Can't wait to finish restoring my C37 and Buccaneer.

Summer in GA is like winter in WI - nobody wants to go outside.

Yep, taking a break for a few months can often be a good thing.

I rolled it too. (EDIT: #5 score: http://www.slam-tilt.com/atlanta/playerIndex.php?disp=game&sel=Classics&game=12)

Great pin, great art...who wants to sell me one cheap?

I love the gameplay on Jumping Jack. Nothing better than missing the skill shot, hitting 9 targets, and then finally hitting the lit saucer to qualify 10x bonus scoring just before getting the last target and collecting the bonus.

I added a VERY nice Abra Ca Dabra today for about $1200. Actually, it was $500 and a "silver" CPR Fathom playfield that my game didn't need nearly as much as his. I hope my trading partner is happy with the deal, I sure am.

I think that's the best EM around - congrats!
