Looking to sell a Gottlieb Sure Shot bc I have too many projects at the moment. The playfield is in fantastic shape, vibrant colors, the backglass has been sealed with triple thick by previous owner, had some flaking that appears to have had repair attempted. The main body is what you'd expect normal wear and tear. Missing backbox metal cover. Original plastics, non are cracked.
Long story, we bought this pinball a few months ago in working order as it was advertised. Before this I had not purchased a Gottlieb before and was not familiar with all the inner workings. Before purchasing I was able to play the game and everything was in working order (minus a few lights that needed sockets cleaned) so we pulled the trigger and picked it up. Once I got it home and started to look more at all the mechs to start learning how the machine worked, I noticed the Bonus stepper unit was missing a wire on one of the contact wiper fingers then investigated more and found it doesn't trigger during game play so you get the bonus points at the time of loosing each ball. I know, shame on me for not noticing this when I purchased it but it appeared to be all working and I wasn't familiar with the gottlieb bonus unit for this game so It all appeared fine when we looked at it, I was hoodwinked, lesson learned. The bonus unit moves manually freely so its not bound, it just needs the wire soldered back in and I'm sure a little more trouble shooting to put it back in sequence. I simply haven't had time to address it yet, I did start to clean the light sockets for the lights, think there is one or two more that need cleaned. The game plays minus the bonus points not being added. Its set up for free play. One reason I bought the game was bc of how nice the playfield is, I thought it would be a good candidate for a cabinet repaint also to match how nice the playfield is.
I have additional photos I can send if requested, local pickup or could possibly arrange driving up to 1 hour from home to hand off machine. Looking to get what we bought it for $500. Will not sell for less.
