Wanted

Just picked up my first Gottlieb and now I got the fever. I'm looking to pick up a TX-Sector, Robo-War, and/or Arena. I would prefer to get it in the northeast but am willing to ship for the right machine. Let me know what you have, thanks!

Don't overlook Genesis! Another cool Gottlieb.

Love my TX-Sector. 5 years ago, drove over 850 miles (round-trip) to get mine. Not going anywhere.

Good luck!

welcome to the club! I assume badgirls got you hooked?

Be sure to look for an excalibur also if you like drop targets.

I have 2 tx-sectors now (yes they are that good )

You know it! I was really surprised how much I liked it. I picked up that and a nice Diner within 2 days of each other and I ended up putting a lot more time on Bad Girls.

I would totally jump on an Excalibur too.

This kinda makes me feel bad about how many Gottlieb CL ads I ignored over the years.

Can give you a solid deal on a Shaq that looks great and plays spot on, pm if interested
Shaq is underrated, not parting with it because I want to.

P.s, some of those system 80 Gottliebs are the best.

I have a really really nice TX that I'm thinking of letting go. It still has the shine on the cabinet, it's that nice! It would have to be a pretty good offer though as I'm really on the fence about letting it go. I may even pair it with a Hollywood Heat as a combo sale, not sure yet. Gerry can vouch for how nice mine is, he's seen it in person. PM me if you're interested in checking it out.

Isn't that the truth...

I have gotten a PM every week for the past 4 weeks running of people looking to buy my spare TX (not for sale, so no need to PM; after I get one fullly pimped then the other one may come available).

I just played a bunch of games on my Tx today. Such a fun game!!!!

Jump on that one QUICK herbert!

Where do I find the production number on a 'Gottlieb' Caribbean Cruise tabletop machine? I have looked in what I think is obvious places, but only find 'April 14 1992' in those spots.

How do I determine the value of one of these machines?

rdh, you'd have better luck starting your own thread. It's somewhere in the $500-1000 range depending on condition. Rare game, but not particularly desirably rare.

I'd love to have Robo War or TX Sector. Having gone through and brought a Raven back from the dead, I wouldn't be scared of the process of shoring them up. These two are MIDI music heaven!

As always it depends on condition. In my opinion thats the best of the cocktail pins in art and gameplay. Having said that, the one I know that sold was really thoroughly gone through electrically by a Gottlieb Wizard and completely shopped and in above average shape and it sold for $750 I believe.

By the way, the Arena I picked up came from the most unique place I've ever bought a pin - The Center for Cartoon Studies - a graduate school for cartooning in VT. Pretty cool place. Definitely didn't expect that on my way out to get it.

I'm in the market for a prototype WOOLY myself.

I can't believe Whysnow doesn't have a Shadow. He's the king of underdog hipster games instead of standard A-list games.

LOL. I don't have a prototype wooly (technically it is a preproduciton or creators edition) but either way it will never leave, ever.

Pretty sure TS is as standard run of the mill as they come. Part of the reason I am just so so on it and never really jumped too hard when they have come up. Heck I think I have 3 friends with a TS now so does not make as much sense for me to find one.

I am more the king of cheap and dont believe the hype games. I buy what I like for my own collection! Often that is crap that other people dislike which is all the better.

That said, I would possibly trade away my second TX for something like TS when the time is right. I figure that is a pretty close trade where a few hundred bucks would level it all out. unfortunately I have a few other projects well in front of getting TX#2 up to par.

OK, debating actually selling Excalibur (out of space and have other games on the horizon).
