    '78 Joker Poker &
    '79 Pinball Pool

    Both are early solid state Gottlieb - System 1 machines.
    Both have a lot of drop targets. Just good old classic pinball.

    Love the rule set, game play, and artwork on Joker Poker.

    Pinball Pool has behaved well over past 5 years.
    Brought it to last three Texas Pinball Festivals and also once to Houston Arcade & Pinball Expo set on free play.
    It also saw a lot of action in IFPA 2016 Louisiana State Pinball Championship Tournament
    No breakdowns or repairs.
    One feature on PP that was pretty cool for 1979 is "remo-trip".
    Knocking down even numbered targets also automatically knock downs a certain even numbered target on opposite side target bank.

    Will be hard to get rid of either of those.
