Here's the retro "King Of Diamonds" playfield.

Here's a fully restored classic Gottlieb wedgehead pin.

There's "Sky Line," another classic Gottlieb wedgehead pin.

This rare Gottlieb "Spirit" pin is actually a sample game.

"Volcano" is another Gottlieb pin you don't see very often.

I dropped a lot of quarters into this pin, both the EM and solid state versions, at G.C. Murphy's, a now defunct five and dime place.

I like pins with lots of drop targets, but especially spinners, where you can really rack up the points.

 

According to The Internet Pinball Database, "Flash Gordon" had a project date of May 13, 1980, but was manufactured in February, 1981.

Notice the split level playfield, somewhat similar to Williams' "Black Knight" pin.

The Internet Pinball Database has a date for "Black Knight," possibly the manufacture date, as November, 1980.

This pin also has a split level playfield. Also, this was the 50 cent pin I played, and at the time, the most difficult.

The Internet Pinball Database mentions that only 608 "Time Fantasy" pins were produced. This pin was also at The York Show in 2012.

The sounds are similar to what you hear in a "Defender" videogame.

Also at the show was this Stern "Seawitch" pin.

Great playfield art.

This "Algar" is actually the rare "autograph" edition.
