Hi all, it has been some time since i have been on here (life again gave me a pinball detour!) I have a very good friend in the Ottawa area who came out to the west coast and enjoyed my pins and is now wanting to purchase his first one! He is partial to Gottlieb ems - likely a one player from...

thanks guys, Scott, i did get an email from Terry as response to one i sent him, so hopefully he is looking into and can get back to me with some more info? we will see regards, Ron trying to focus on this project but excited as i just bought an Atlantis finally to add to my '70s wedge head...

hi all, just linking this in case anyone might find it interesting, or knows anything about Pace Mfg 1932 King Pin do any of you have contact with a Terry Cummings - he has a web page and seems to know about the pins from the '30s?? regards, Ron https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic ...

hi guys, thanks for your input I went and took a look - machine was far from 'immaculate' - broken plastics, trim pieces missing on backglass and displays were gibbled somewhat having said - the playfield itself was in really nice shape ... but the overall package just didn't do it for me...

Hi all, hope it is ok here to link to a rather long winded thread I posted on another pin forum? (I am simply too lazy to re-type it all - it really rambled on!) I recently turded a pristine C37 playfield, much to my shame, horror and disbelief - the linked thread is an account of that and some...

wow, great post and great looking machine! thanks for sharing! I just picked up a home use only strange world with very little cabinet fade ... and was comparing the pinks to my c37 (which like most is quite faded) - I think it is the same color on both machines and yes, looks much nicer in its...

again, thanks guys ... just my luck - called pinball resource and Steve said that since '97 he has slowly been selling nos parts for the gottlieb bounty hunters ... and last week he sold his last playfield ...!! doooogh if anyone out there knows of someone who picked one up and would sell let...

.. and I see the wiki articles are by John, the local pin guru I mentioned :) so I bought the bounty hunter ... I asked if maybe it was as simple as the speaker in the cabinet seller said he didn't know, but that when his buddy took the board and plugged it into his gottlieb touchdown - he...

thanks lucky - will check those links apparently our local pin shop here has the system 80 guru, so if deal goes through hopefully he can help too the manual comes with the machine so I can check then too regards, Ron
