Low production Gottlieb wedgehead and a very sought after machine by EM collectors. For sure a super fun and challenging great player! Thanks for sharing.
One of my favorite Pins ever! Play this at the Rocky Mountain Pinball Showdown (Colorado) when available. Easily can score over 200k on this by targeting the numbered pads and getting the center lights all lit! Wish I owned one! :(
The solid state ones are the most fun. Unfortunately they are also so archaic, with thousands of parts that break down often. If you can fix these, you're ahead of the game.
@@mickthomas6242 electromechanical🤘 The spirit of 76 changed them for the better and worse, I prefer all EMs and early SS machines. Nowadays, the data east garbage, with the playing field so crowded with sooooo much you don't even know where the ball is at times, and the overkill audio, it's just they are pretty awful.
Thanks for making this video. I was sure you were going to hit that upper right #1 target.......next time. John Osborne says in a YT video that this is the one game he designed that he wishes he had. With different artwork this game might have had a larger run, who knows. Now wacky, wonderful, weird and collectable.
EM's can be very reliable, but so can System 80 if they're properly updated. Still, from a maintenance perspective, if you know what you're doing, I'd bank on an EM running for much longer than any solid state machine in general. If an EM needs parts, you're talking about a coil or two, perhaps. If a SS machine needs an unobtainable chip, you're looking at a reproduction board which, if available, costs hundreds.
There's now one less of these in the world , went to pick mine up from my mothers where it was in storage , my brother has burnt it in a bonfire 😢 didnt think I wanted it , and my 1976 suzuzi he dumped in a skip 😬was having a clear out for mum , anyway it was old he said !!!

Thanks for watching, Vic!
That's in remarkable condition. It's a pretty difficult game, and you played it well. That artwork is the stuff of nightmares.
knocker works. Match at the end. Nice video.
I owed Gottlieb Spinout for a while. Loved that game -- similar vintage to this game.
Beautiful playing machine. Thanks for sharing, I just picked one up, it needs some work, but this is now my target for 'playability' :). Thanks!
Its one if not my favorite pinball of all time
3:21 - just wanna press F to you. I felt all your pain at this moment.
It was rough.

I miss old pinball machines

I'd imagine these machines are still more reliable than the System 80 ones. Don't some of these reset when they are tilted?

I bet they go through a lot of Visine in the Strange World.
In a strange way, a desire to squish the fly at :28 was there for me, yet not so worldly.
Tilt seems over sensitive
The creature on the right makes me think "Mike Wazoski!" And that was some years before Pixar was founded.
I love blue hair.

It sounded like you stopped yourself from saying fuck when you tilted the machine.
