I am looking for a 1970 Williams Ringer in nice condition and fully working. If you have one or know anyone that has one that they would be willing to sell, please PM me. Shipping not a problem.

You will have to be a little bit more descriptive. Are you looking for a '72 Swinger, or a chime/bell unit?
Quoted from jeffc:OP means the EM Williams arcade game from 1970, "Ringer".
Yes. Thank you Jeffc.
Quoted from jbovenzi:There is one on eBay right now. $1700 as of this morning
After looking at those pictures, now I'm even more intrigued how this game is played.

The Pacific Pinball Museum has one. The companion machines are called Penny Pitch and Darts.
You "Spin" the wheel on either side to launch the horseshoe to the opposite post. If you do it right you get 3 points for a ringer, 2 for a leaner, and one for being close. No points if you go under or over. Definitely an EM skill game.

$1700.00....you got to be kidding me.
Well, I guess it's a steal if you are looking at this one:

Ringer is stupidly fun for how simple it is. Much more fun to compete though and a great bar/drinking game.
Criticize the $1700 all you want. It's a rare game and super fun. Everybody loves it. Very rarely seen for sale.
Most em arcade games are kinda lame to play but this is a winner.
Same category as an Taito's Ice cold beer. Used to be dirt cheap. Now, many people want them, very few remain, owners don't want to let them go. So, prices keep rising.
Great competition games.
Quoted from Tyamry:Thanks for all the bumps, but you guys are killing me!
Sorry man! We're not really helping ya with the "price talks"!
I think things pop up here and there for the right price. I wouldn't give up or pay $1700.00 on a beat up one. Looks like that backglass is just barely hanging on too on that one.
It's like hunting down that Bally Skill Roll!
I would pay up for a nice example.of this game...I played it quite a bit as a child but totally forgot about it until I saw a restored one a few years back...the restored one sold for $2750
This is a super rare game as well as super fun! at $1,700 I'll take three of them, even in that condition
