BANK-A-BALL Gottlieb (USA)In storage, workingNeverpoor condition but does work.
BLACK JACK Bally (USA)Set up, plays!NeverVery rare EM version of Black Jack. Only 120 were produced in the EM version. Mine is one of the very first early # machines. This is a true rare find locally. Machine playes great and works 100%. I am looking for a flyer for this machine. I'm not even sure if one was ever produced for the EM version. Email me if you know or have one for sale.
BUCKAROO Gottlieb (USA)Set up, plays!NeverVery nice find. Backglass animation, roto target what more could you ask for.
CAPT. FANTASTIC AND THE BROWN DIRT COWBO Bally (USA)Set up, plays!NeverNice clean machine.
CENTRAL PARK Gottlieb (USA)Set up, plays!NeverNice game plays great.
CORRAL Gottlieb (USA)Set up, plays!NeverJust finished putting it together and spent 8 hours totally going thru every point in this machine. I was told it has not been put together or played in 20+ years. I tend to believe it because the playfield is almost mint on it. Plugged it in and she is up and running 100%. Someone painted the head is the only downside to the machine. Playfield and backglass are almost flawless.
CROSS TOWN Gottlieb (USA)Set up, plays!NeverI've had this machine for a while. It has a repro backglass and looks great.
DOMINO Gottlieb (USA)Set up, needs some workNeverLooking to buy a playfield for this game. Someone painted the entire thing. Somtimes I wonder what people are thinking when they do things like this. If you have a nice one for sale email me.
EVEL KNIEVEL Bally (USA)Set up, plays!NeverNice playing game.
FIREBALL Bally (USA)Set up, plays!NeverLooked for one for years and finally found one.
FLIPPER Gottlieb (USA)Set up, plays!Neververy nice clean original machine.
FLIPPER CLOWN Gottlieb (USA)Set up, plays!NeverNice original machine.
FLIPPER COWBOY Gottlieb (USA)Set up, plays!NeverThis one was repainted at some point. They did splatter instead of the original webbing. One day I will strip it and do it right. Plays great and not a bad looking machine even with the repaint.
FLIPPER PARADE Gottlieb (USA)Set up, plays!NeverGame plays 100% now. Once you get these EMs up and running properly they play great with little to no additional tweeking needed. Needs a new paint job.
FLIPPER POOL Gottlieb (USA)Set up, plays!NeverNice original machine.
FLYING CARPET Gottlieb (USA)Set up, plays!NeverNice all around game. Backglass is a little flaky. Fixed a few issues and it works 100% now. Super nice game. Glad to have it in my collection!!!
GIGI Gottlieb (USA)Set up, plays!NeverFinally set this one up and got it fully working. It does need a cabinet repaint. I also need a good backglass as this one is cracked. If you have one for sale let me know.
KING OF DIAMONDS Gottlieb (USA)Set up, plays!NeverVery nice game. All original and plays great.
KISS Bally (USA)Set up, plays!NeverGot lucky when I found this one. Plays great and fast.
MAJORETTES Gottlieb (USA)Set up, plays!NeverSomeone repainted it years ago. This is one I will strip and repaint back to factory specs. Plays great!
MATA HARI EM Bally (USA)Set up, plays!NeverThis is the EM version of Mata Hari. Anyone have a good playfield and backglass for this machine please email me. I want to buy a flyer for this machine also.
NIP-IT Bally (USA)Set up, plays!NeverNice machine. I think it may very well be one of the first produced with the original plastic gator head instead of the wire bar that grabs the ball at the top right. I have pieces of the plastic gator that I found in the bottom of the cabinet.
NORTH STAR Gottlieb (USA)In storage, waiting for restorationNeverI picked this up at an estate auction. It was in storage for 20 plus years. The bugs got to it. It will need a new cabinet for restoration. Right now is considered a parts machine. Don't laugh at this one. Over this last weekend I figured, what the heck and put it together to see if it had any life and guess what? It actually works pretty much all the way. The only thing that doesn't is the bonus light doesn't lite when you get all yellow rollovers. Unbelievable how these machines hold up even when stored in such rotton conditions. I bet when this machine was stored 20 plus years ago it was in mint condition. So the search is on for a cabinet and backglass. Gotta try and save it!!
NORTH STAR Gottlieb (USA)Set up, plays!NeverPicked this one up the same day as the other North Star. This one plays great has nice playfield and backglass but the cabinet was hand painted. So will need a new close to original repaint.
PARADISE (SAMPLE)  Gottlieb (USA)Set up, plays!NeverMy paradise is a very rare (SAMPLE) model. I found this one by accident and at the time did not know it was a sample model. This machine is pictured at THE Internet Pinball Database.(IPDB)
PLAYBOY Bally (USA)Set up, plays!NeverWent out to Denver to pick this one up. Plays great and looks good.
SILVER Gottlieb (USA)Set up, plays!NeverNice original machine. The same family owned it since new. I totally went thru it and it works 100% now. This was a great addition to my gameroom. I'm going to add a few more woodrail soon.
SKYLINE Gottlieb (USA)Set up, plays!NeverNewest to enter my collection. ePay purchase!
SURFER Gottlieb (USA)Set up, plays!NeverFun game to play and it plays very smooth.
