I got to play some Gottlieb classics inside the show. |
|
|
"Gigi" is one of the more challenging 60's Gottlieb pins, featuring two chevron groups of numbered bumpers. |
This was the first time I played this pin, which features moving horses in the backglass. This was one of the few pins designed by Harry Williams and Sam Stern. |
|
Each bumper is numbered to represent each "hoss." |
Here's the front of the cabinet. |
|
"Flying Turns" was one of the coolest pins at the show. It features miniature cars that move around behind the backglass. |
You turn the knob on the right to aim the ball, then press the button on the left to launch it. |
|
Also for sale inside the show was this somewhat rare 1975 "Sweet Shawnee" slot machine, made by Merit Industries, Inc., originally made by Keeney And Sons, Inc., in the 50's. |
|
|
"Babewatch." |
|
|
"Babewatch" in an extreme 80's sort of way. |
There was apparently some sort of budget issue with Gottlieb at the time. This is the only game I know of with no paint pattern whatsoever. |
|
But actually not that bad a game, with drop targets, a habitrail in the ball shooter lane, and some sort of light animation under the playfield. |
Then there was the more traditional stuff, like this 1961 Gottlieb "Corral" pin. Even with a cabinet repainted white, you can't go wrong with a roto target pin. I took this picture as the game was being broken down at the end of Saturday. I don't remember the price, but I do remember it was cheap, and the game did sell. |
