Actually,it's really not bad.Kinda dirty but that's easy.Just needs a little TLC.Playfield is quite good considering it's as old as me...LOL.Backglass has some bubbling but TT should help.I gotta get used to the manual ball load and it doesn't fire up until you coin it up.
 
Yeah, the manual ball load confuses people trying to play my Genco Rocket machine. The lack of firing up is a standard Gottleib EM thing as well. It is a bit confusing the first time you experience it though...

I played quite a few of these 2" flipper machines at the last Seattle show. I'd like to add one to my collection some time in the future.
 
I would like to see some photo's of your collection, gameroom pic's etc. Dont think you posted any pic's.

I think it looks good at home in Burts collection :).

I like my privacy. I don't tend to post a lot of pictures. That said... I do have pictures of my collection(s) throughout my website.

ahhh c'mon, not talking about you posing in front of your machines, just pictures of this collection your always tellin folks about. You know just the machines themselves no background stuff. What's this web-site you mention?
 
I've always wondered, Lindsey, do you have your collection insured? If so, to what amount? I've thought about upping my homeowner's insurance coverage due to my pin collection. I only have 9 pins, but I'd be devastated to lose them and then not have the funds to get them back.

That is an excellent question. Currently I don't have any extra insurance on my pins but it's something I've thought about a lot.

I guess I should probably look into that. I've got about 50 pins at my place and about another 50 in storage. It would REALLY suck if either place burned down and I got nothing.

I should really look into what something like that would cost. I have a couple of other collections as well (tube amps, hockey cards, etc...) that should probably be insured too...
 
Thought everything thats in the house is covered? I recently a few months back had my ATV stolen out of my garage and it WAS NOT covered by my Homeowners insurance, because it was in my garage. Anyone keeping pins in there garage a little heads up for ya. The only thing the insurance covers in the garage is lawn mowers , trimmers, and tools, not any type of motorized bikes, cars, trucks, or any type of arcade type games. If all this is inside the home then it's covered. State Farm is our insurance.

There are also limits on how much you can claim for each thing.

For example. If my house burned down I would definitely get something for my pinballs but it would be the limit of what they can give without extra coverage.

So... I might get $3K for $60K worth of pins (made up figures).
 
What's that game just to the right of your new one?
Looks like it might be something gottlieb system 80 by chance?
