Fort Smith, AR
Quoted from ForceFlow:I just picked up an Allied Leisure Roy Clark Super Picker. I can't seem to find any reference photos of it anywhere. IPDB lists it as a 2-player game, but this one clearly has 4 players. I don't think it's a sample or prototype game, since it looks like it has a random high number for the serial number on the outside of the cabinet. However, there is another number on the inside of the cabinet that reads something like M000003 (It doesn't look like I snapped a photo of it before wrapping it up, so I'm going from memory).
The game flips, but the displays are out, the feature lamps are out, and the solenoids (other than the flippers) are out. I'm guessing poor contact on the junky fuse holders and/or bad fuses. One of the fuse holders had an alligator clip on it to hold it together.
I took the photos as I was taking it out of the pin hauler, hence it's still wrapped up.

[edit]: IPDB has now been corrected to show that this is a 4-player game.
[edit 2]: It looks like Allied leisure serial numbers increase through their entire SS line. Each title does not appear to recycle a set of serial numbers (ie, reuse serial numbers 100-5000), unlike with other manufacturers.
[edit 3]: I'm wondering how many of these Super Picker machines were actually made. I can only seem to find one reference to another Super Picker machine, which was posted on RGP in '98, which seems to indicate only a sample run may have been made. The owner I bought this example from had owned it since the early 80s, so there were at least two in existence at some point.

Would love to see some pics of the Super Picker. I believe it to be pretty rare.
Also I have a complete coin box in my Allied Rock On That I will post pics of in your other thread.
