BIG HIT |
 | Gottlieb (USA) | In storage, waiting for restoration | Never | INFORMATION- on the white paint by the flipper areas on some games. Bought in 2013 from family in Tennessee that owned for 19 years. Very nice condition. Back glass is perfect. Very nice example of this game. Found out why Gottlieb had the white paint in flipper areas on some games, but others were natural wood. They were testing play-field types of wood in 1977 and a plywood shortage at that time did not help. MDF was cheaper which got the white paint. Maple plywood was left natural. Unknown were the production numbers of each type. Maple is a better material for a play-field. |

BLACK KNIGHT |
 | Williams (USA) | Set up, plays! | Never | Bought in 1998. Game is a 7 out of 10 and was in storage. Play-field wear on magna save spots and upper pop bumper area. Back glass has a few flakes here and there. (Jan 2019) Finally got to work on cleaning and board repairs. CPU was fried from previous owner mixing black and white connector in back head. All processor chips where torched. Sound board had a problem with the PIA and processor chip, RAM chip also weak. Don't forget to replace those capacitors either for clear sound/voice. Has all sounds/voices now. Next is display score problem with player 1 and 2. Game plays great. |

BRONCO |
 | Gottlieb (USA) | Set up, needs some work | Never | Bought this game Feb 2019. What a mess. AX and BX relay contacts bent and touching. Burned coils for player 1 from play-field contacts being stuck closed and energizing 100's and 1000's numbers in score reels. Relay for 100's in back head burned out because of stuck contacts. Game over, front door coin lock out and hold relays weak and burned out from hours of use. Free ball relay contacts bent and not working. Motor switches dirty and out of clearance. Bonus unit, player unit and ball unit, filthy dirty and out of phase from someone not knowing what they were doing. Tons of dust, grim and time took a little toll. Now fully cleaned, vacuumed out and waxed play-field, bulbs and bands are completed. Have brought it back from 100% dead to 70% in four evenings thanks to parts, coils and relays from PBR. I am doing a video on you tube to show just a few things i have done. |

CIRCUS |
 | Gottlieb (USA) | In storage, waiting for restoration | Never | Bought in 1999. Everything is nice except the center of play field by the lower flippers. Heavy ball wear right at the out-hole. Boards are dead. |

COUNT-DOWN |
 | Gottlieb (USA) | Set up, plays! | Never | Bought in 1997. This game has seen a lot of plays. Family loves this game.Just installed a few new yellow and green drop targets and new lower flipper bats. Power supply had a issue with the 60volt side so scores would go dim or out at times. Easy fix with re-flow solder at connections and 400 volt diodes on HV side. |

DINER |
 | Williams (USA) | Set up, plays! | Never | Very clean game. Perfect play field and back glass. A few scratches in the cabinet. |
|
DRAGON |
 | Gottlieb (USA) | Set up, plays! | Never | Had in storage since 1997. Very nice condition. Just had time to work on and actually finish as of Jan 2019. She works great now with many repairs on electronics and deep play-field cleaning and new bands- to bring her back to life. All original everything, born with serial numbers on all boards. CPU, driver, power supply and all 5 display scores. This game is clean, fresh and plays great. |

EL DORADO |
 | Gottlieb (USA) | Set up, plays! | Never | Bought in 1981. This game is just about perfect, except for some pen writing on the back head for a high score from Stephanie dated in 1979 when it was on route back in the day. Other than that, perfect. |
|
GENIE |
 | Gottlieb (USA) | Set up, plays! | Never | Bought in 1997 and sat in storage for 20 years in my game room. Plays great now. Bringing this game back from the dead was a project. Had massive electrical issues from previous owner. Burned coils, blown diodes, blown CPU, blown fuses. Power supply burned out because of dead short 69volt AC line. Good grief. |
|
GRIDIRON |
 | Gottlieb (USA) | In storage, waiting for restoration | Never | Bought in 2014. Picked it up in New Hampshire from a picker. Has wear on cabinet in a few spots. Play-field is great and back-glass has flaking on one of football players legs. Nice game overall. |
|
HIGH SPEED |
 | Williams (USA) | Set up, plays! | Never | Bought this game from a Arcade Feb 2019. Has a lot of play-field wear around upper three pop bumpers. Back glass is flawless with not one paint chip or bubble. Cabinet has dings and dents from arcade and location use. I have a new play-field over lay to install someday. Plays perfect and does not miss a beat. |
|
JOKER POKER |
 | Gottlieb (USA) | Set up, plays! | Never | Bought it from the original shop owner in 1992 off a route. Absolutely a 8 out of 10 for sure. Family enjoys it and friends. (2019) Problem with K's not resetting and a few other things, will update when fixed. |
|
PARAGON |
 | Bally (USA) | Set up, plays! | Never | Play field and cabinet very nice. back-glass has some lifting in various areas. Plays, but needs some score digit and driver board repairs. Will update more later. |
|
PINBALL POOL |
 | Gottlieb (USA) | In storage, waiting for restoration | Never | Bought in 1997. Everything is fantastic except back glass has major flaking. Not even re-touchable in my opinion. This games needs major electrical board work. |
|
SOLAR RIDE |
 | Gottlieb (USA) | Set up, plays! | Never | Bought in 2013. Good condition overall, back glass has a lot flaking on lady saddle and horse leg. Play-field very very nice, no wear anywhere. Cabinet has scratches and dings. Family and friends have fun with it. Feb 2019 Just finished a deep clean, bulb, band and polish after 5 years of solid play. Has a slight issue with resetting randomly while playing. Tracing it to either a 5 volt issue and CPU resets or the play-field switch matrix going to tilt switch. Will update when find cause. |

TAXI |
 | Williams (USA) | Set up, plays! | Never | Marilyn Monroe version. |
|
TOTEM |
 | Gottlieb (USA) | Set up, needs some work | Never | Bought in 2014. Very dirty. Found in a storage garage where it had sat for 20 or more years. Full of mouse nests, some leaves and massive dust. Play-field was covered in dust and rubber bands had snapped from age. That was in 2014. Now Feb 2019 finally pulled from storage. Totally tore a part for a massive deep clean and removed all play-field parts for a buff, wipe down and shop vacuum job. In 5 hours, of transformer, bridge rectifier work, molex connector fixes and power supply diagnosis along with a 2 person buff and shine, we got a sign of life from game. Play-field and back glass are near perfect (or i would not spend so much time), 9 out of 10. Cabinet is a 7 tops. |

TWILIGHT ZONE |
 | Bally (USA) | Set up, plays! | Never | Bought Nov 2019. When i first got the game 7 solenoids did not work on the same line as the out-hole.Traced it to the 50volt supply. A broken supply wire on the 1st solenoid in the daisy chain was the culprit. Game plays excellent and very nice example. |
