The Williams' pin on the right, "OXO," features tic-tac-toe animation on the playfield. Other pins with this feature include "Egg Head," Square Head," and "X's and O's." |
Back inside the show, I played a somewhat rare Gottlieb "Happy Days" woodrail... |
which features backglass tic-tac-toe animation. |
Here's a shot of the playfield. |
Not bad for a pin that was built in 1952. |
On the left, "Sky Jump," one of my favorite Gottlieb wedgehead pins, with a nice drop target layout. On the right, "Pro-Football," another classic Gottlieb wedgehead, and the first to appear on the show, "Happy Days." |
Back outside in the flea market, there was this rare 1979 "Eros One," cocktail pin, made by Fascination.
|
There was also this extra playfield which appeared to be mostly complete. |
Here's a shot from underneath the extra playfield. |
More pins for sale in the flea market, including this rare Williams "Coquette," pin. I didn't get a chance to photograph the other half of this pin, but I knew it was a complete pin for sale, after finding out later how happy the buyer was to locate one of these after several years. |
Notice a similarity of the art between, Williams' "Coquette," and Gottlieb's "Fashion Show." The Internet Pinball Database mentions that "Coquette" was released in May, 1962, and "Fashion Show" just a month later. |
More pins for sale. |
Even more pins for sale. |
On the left, a rare Keeney, "Hi Straight" pin. According to The Internet Pinball Database, Keeney made 87 pins, including a 1963 bingo called, "Venus." However, Keeney pins are very hard to find for some reason. |
On this truck, to the left, is the other half of "Hi Straight." On the right, there's part of a somewhat rare "Dipsy Doodle" pin. The one player version of this game is "Doodle Bug." |
This seller had pins for sale ranging from the 30's to the late 70's. |
