Here's a shot of "Super Straight's" cabinet.

Here's a Segasa "Monaco" also with Williams 70's score reels.

The swinging target was used in some Williams games during the 60's and 70's.  The ship's wheel bonus looks quite similar to the one found on a Gottlieb "Buccaneer" playfield.

To the left of "Monaco" are a couple more rare pins: a Bally "Atlantis" and a Williams EM "Hot Tip."  The solid state version of "Hot Tip" is much easier to find, since it was the first Williams solid state pin.  

Here's a shot of Atlantis' backglass.

Here's a shot of the playfield.

I didn't have to go far to find another cool EM, Williams "Triple Action." Most of the time, these are project pins with trashed backglasses and worn playfields. 

The artist must have been a Three Stooges fan.

This is similar to Star Pool, with four drop targets scattered around the playfield and the center spinner, which spins when the ball hits it.  Tales Of Arabian Nights also uses this spinner, which is located under the genie's lamp.

 

Here's a very rare Recel "Space Race." I really enjoyed this game a lot.

This game uses Gottlieb score reels, has Gottlieb style art, and Gottlieb webbing, in other words, what looks like cracks in the cabinet but really aren't.

This game has two banks of drop targets, and behind those, stationary targets. Notice the bonus countdown layout, similar to mid 70's Gottlieb games, like Spirit of '76, Fast Draw, etc.   

   Even the coin door and coin entry hardware is Gottlieb.

There was another Recel pin, "Poker Plus."  See the next page...
