wow now i remember, he was really bigger ... and the things was further away !

This Bonanza came from the Lincoln Park Amusement Park in MA. It was my favorite attraction there in the 70s. Old Orchard Beach originally had the whole game there, but in more recent years shrunk it down a lot. They did keep some of the better targets, but I wish they still had the whole thing. I think I have pictures of it from the 90s at Old Orchard Beach. This Bonanza and the one at the Half Moon Arcade at Weir's Beach NH are the only remaining ones in New England. Hampton Beach had by far the best one, but sadly it was sacrificed a few years ago to put out a fire in the bar above it. The bar was saved, but what was probably the best Bonanza in the USA was destroyed in the effort to save the crummy bar that started the fire. Priorities. I heard the owners wanted to save some of the parts, but weren't allowed to touch their property so all was destroyed. Outrageous. The one at Hampton Beach was not only larger than the others, but it was full of many extra targets and meticulous maintained unlike most Bonanza's that are left. Lake George NY still has a pretty nice Bonanza, and Sylvan Beach in NY has one too. I visited both this summer, plus the one at Weir's Beach. Last year I tried a traveling one at the Florida State Fair in Tampa. It was nice but a whooping......$5 a game. Not even close anywhere else. Seemed empty compared to what it would have done if run at a dollar. I think it was a quarter or 50 cents in the 70s usually.

Congratulations! This makes me very nostalgic. I'm from Buenos Aires, Argentina, and here we had a great amusement park (Italpark) that unfortunately closed its doors in the '90s. And one of its attractions was a large Bonanza shooting gallery. Unfortunately there aren't many images of that, and your shooting gallery transported me to those times... And another thing: wonderful pinballs! F-14 is one of my favorites, and Secret Service is one of the few Data East I like. Greetings from Argentina!

I can't believe that last ramp shafted ya! Multi all is the best.

Just checking in. I work at this location (Palace Playland). This thing is older than time itself, and uses scores of obsolete electronic components. The whole thing is so sensitive to electrical noise from the other machines in the arcade that it needs its own line filter, isolation transformer, and breaker box. The way most of it was manufactured would never meet any safety standards now, and the amount of un-isolated signal wiring darting about, and the fact that the outer metal case of any of the objects is just one backwards ac plug away from being live at line voltage gives me second, third, and fourth thoughts about each and every repair. That said, we still have it, and are working to keep it alive. It is out of order right now: we switched from physical coins to an rfid pay card system that proved (unsurprisingly) not quite 100% compatible with 1970s technology. I've worked out a solution for that and have two of the six guns rewired accordingly. I still have four more to convert. There's also an audio box with a shorted amplifier (heaven knows if we're going to be able to find a replacement ... *that* might end up being a re-engineering job too) and then there's some false-triggering target sensors... and some ground loop problems... and a speaker wire that sparks when you plug it in... "Keep them alive !!!" . . . I'm trying!

I noticed you mentioned a FB page for Bonanza Shooting Gallerys, but I couldn't find the FB page. Is it still there? I've been a fan of these since I was a kid in the 70s. Lincoln Park in Dartmouth MA that I visited often had a nice one. Old Orchard Beach ended up with it, but it didn't seem the same. A few years back it was cut to a tiny piece of it. I went to Hampton Beach today, and was shocked to discover the one they had was gone! It's the best one I've seen anywhere and I get around. Plus they maintained it much better than everywhere else. Where are you located? You have one at your home? Awesome. I have some classic arcade machines, but nothing like a Bonanza. Here in RI the only ones left I''m aware of are: Weirs Beach "Dodge Town" (poorly maintained), Canobie Lake park (is the Bonanza still there?), Old Orchard Beach (about 1/10th of a Bonanza), Rye Playland, NY as of 2014 (decent Bonanza, but not well maintained)

How did you get the hotel sign?

Comme je suis plus fan d'EM GTB,j'ai jamais porter vraiment attention aux SS et je viens de regarder la liste des pins GTB des années 80,elle et Rock sont sur ma wantlist!Gros fan du 80's cheesy

I made a custom translite too. You can see pictures on my account at "Pinball Owners". My nickname is TRAXYNEL (from Sherbrooke, Qc. Canada) . I didn't like the original translite because of the confusion... It's called Hollywood Heat but they shot the picture on Ocean Boulevard in Miami... So, to make some sense with the title I've decided to make it more "glamourous" with a limousine on the playfield and an actress with paparazzi on the translite. Now it looks more "Hollywood" kind of ;)

Love the limo mod! Anything else on there I'm missing?
