Hey folks,
Fairly new to the forums here...but I wanted to get your opinion.
Is there an age when a Pinball is "too old for toys"?
Based on availability I would say the market seems to think so. EM games seem to get no love. Perhaps that's just because less folks own older pinball machines?
I ask because I own a 1961 Gottlieb Foto Finish Wedgehead that I'm currently beginning to restore, and I've read so many cool posts on pinball toys/mods for newer pinballs.
I started thinking, it would be cool to add a few "age appropriate" toys to my playfield. Or perhaps make a topper of some sort.
Due to the horse races theme of my pin, I'm pondering adding some 60's metal toy horses and Jockeys. Or perhaps figure out how to rig up some little fake cameras with flash bulbs.
I'd want to keep the toys running on EM tech though. No LED's or PCB's. Also, I would want to build them to be completely removable, of course.
Is this idea, stupid...or just not explored?
Thoughts?
