NICE 1972 Gottlieb FLYING CARPET pinball machine Shopped LED’ed FREE SHIPPING

This is a fully working, fully shopped Flying Carpet pinball game. We have fully shopped it and replaced all of the rubber bands with new ones. We have also replaced all of the light bulbs with new LEDs. We used a very tasteful choice of warm light bulbs on the playfield and backglass, with cool light on the backglass just behind the scores which I think makes the scores pop out and look great. This creates an older, classic yet vibrant look. Every single bulb, switch, coil, target, bell, etc is working great. The game has a new ball and locks. It does not have the quarter acceptance mechanisms, but is on free play. That said, the credit system is fully working on it and knocks on credits when you get a special or match, and counts them down when you start a game. It just can’t take quarters unless you put those quarter accepting parts back on the coin door. CONDITION and RATINGS for THIS SPECIFIC MACHINE. This cosmetic condition of this Flying Carpet pinball machine overall is excellent. It is not perfect, but quite good for something built over 50 years ago. The playfield has only the tiniest spots of wear on it in a few spots. Otherwise the paint is all intact and still as vibrant as the day it rolled off the line. There is planking on the playfield though, which is extremely common. The plastics seem perfect to me – I couldn’t find any flaws. The cabinet is in outstanding condition – no sign of water or other physical damage. The paint is all original and in excellent condition. The backglass looks really great and is in good condition. Gorgeous, vibrant artwork with some flaws. The title section “Flying Carpet” paint and some portions of the clothing on one of the people is starting to flake a bit. You will notice that it is just one specific color that has started to flake. This is common – each color of paint they used on these old silkscreens had different chemistry, and usually there will be one or more colors that didn’t adhere to the glass as well as the other colors. On this game it is just that one shade of red. Otherwise the paint is perfect on the backglass. If you need any more pictures or have any questions, please let me know – I’m happy to answer. PLAYFIELD PLASTICS: 9.5/10. STANDARD GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF ELECTRO-MECHANICAL PINBALL SHOPPING. When we shop an electro-mechanical pinball, here is what that includes. 1 Removed most everything from the playfield. 2 Clean, wax, and polish entire playing surface. 3 Replace all above-playfield light bulbs with new LED bulbs. 4 Replace all below-playfield light bulbs with new LED matching colored bulbs. 5 Replace all rubbers with new ones. 6 Re-install all above playfield plastics and hardware after thorough cleaning. 7 Remove backglass, replace all bulbs with LEDs. 8 Carefully clean all score reels and make sure switches are properly cleaned and working. 9 Make sure all features of pinball are working properly. 10 Scrub, clean, and touch up cabinet to the best of our limited ability. 11 Install new lock on front door. 12 Install new ball(s). There are probably a few other things we do, but that’s the gist of it. This game is located in sunny, beautiful downtown McLean, IL 61754. We have over 140 playable games and luxurious arcade-themed lodging options. Contact me for more details or look for hotel Arcadia on airbnb. They will bring it right inside your house (ground floor only). This is for the 48 contiguous United States only. In some rare cases possibly longer. What I CAN guarantee is that if you pick the game up, or if not when the game leaves my hands, it will be exactly as described and photoed above. I’m a fair, honest guy…

Nr Mint 1994 Data East WWF ROYAL RUMBLE widebody pinball Shopped LEDs-SHIPS FREE

This game works great – like new. We have fully shopped it and replaced all of the rubber bands with new ones. We have also replaced all of the light bulbs with new Cointaker LEDs (the best you can get). The dot matrix display is working perfectly even though I know it looks like it is not in the pictures above. In person it looks perfect and operates flawlessly. Every single bulb, switch, coil, target, display segment, sound effect, etc is working great. We replaced the MPU board with a new Rottendog MPU. All of the other boards are original and working perfectly. Also, I need to emphasize just how much stuff there is to do on this pinball machine. First, it is a wide-body and they filled the playfield with a lot more artwork and things to shoot for than most pins. I really love these wide-bodies. I wish this became the standard size for pinballs. The rules are very deep on this game also. It was made during the hey-day of pinballs in 1994 – there are so many “modes” and different things to shoot for. It has two playfields – the main one and a mini one in the upper right corner. So many shots, ramps, loops, etc. And it is very well tied to the WWF theme. The game features all of the greatest wrestlers from the WWF era. The game has all new balls and a new lock. The quarter coin mechs work so you can use it as a piggy bank if you wish. Here is a video I took showing that the game is fully working. CONDITION and RATINGS for THIS SPECIFIC MACHINE. The physical / cosmetic condition of this game is outstanding. The playfield has virtually no wear on it. The plastics are all basically perfect. I can’t see any flaws or cracks or broken parts at all. The backglass looks to be in very good condition, but it is a translite so new ones are available if you ever needed a new one. The cabinet is solid and in excellent condition. The paint on the cabinet is in great shape. The coin door is excellent, and has working coin mechs. New LED bulbs to light the coin slots, and a new lock. It has been fully shopped with LED bulbs. If you need any more pictures or have any questions, please let me know – I’m happy to answer. PLAYFIELD PLASTICS: 9.5/10. COIN DOOR: 9.5/10. STANDARD GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF SOLID STATE PINBALL SHOPPING. When we shop a solid state pinball, here is what that includes. 1 Removed most everything from the playfield. 2 Clean, wax, and polish entire playing surface. 3 Replace all above-playfield light bulbs with new LED bulbs. 4 Replace all below-playfield light bulbs with new LED matching colored bulbs. 5 Replace all rubbers with new ones. 6 Re-install all above playfield plastics and hardware after thorough cleaning. 7 Remove backglass, replace all bulbs with LEDs. 8 Make sure all features of pinball are working properly. 9 Scrub, clean, and touch up cabinet to the best of our limited ability. 10 Install new lock on front door. 11 Install new ball(s).

CUTE 1974 Chicago Coin SHOWTIME pinball machine Shopped LED’ed FREE SHIPPING

This is a fully working, fully shopped Showtime pinball game. We have fully shopped it and replaced all of the rubber bands with new ones. We have also replaced all of the light bulbs with new LEDs. We used a very tasteful choice of warm light in most places, and cool light to light up the scores to keep an older, classic yet vibrant look. Every single bulb, switch, coil, target, bell, etc is working great. The game has new balls and original locks. It has quarter coin mechs but it has been modified (slightly) to be on “Free Play” so that you don’t need to drop coins or open the door and trigger switches in order to play in your home. If you want to use this in a coin operated setting, let me know after the sale and I will change it back and make sure the coin / credit system is set to function well for you. Here is a video I took showing that this pinball is fully working. CONDITION and RATINGS for THIS SPECIFIC MACHINE. This cosmetic condition of this Showtime pinball is excellent. It is not perfect, but quite good for something built almost 50 years ago. The playfield has only the tiniest spots of wear on it in a few spots. Otherwise the paint is all intact and still as vibrant as the day it rolled off the line. The plastics seem perfect to me – I couldn’t find any flaws. The cabinet has one spot on the back corner of the head where the wood chipped and was touched up (very minor and almost unnoticeable). Otherwise, the cabinet is solid and in great condition. The paint has been touched up and it just looks great. It has a little bit of a tan light stained look on the sides, but I bet that would scrub off to be pure white with some elbow grease. I like the slight patina myself so I didn’t work too hard on it. The backglass looks really great to the casual player’s glance. Gorgeous, vibrant artwork and very few flaws. Upon close inspection, you will see that there is a small section at the bottom where the paint is starting to lift/flake, as well as a few tiny spots where the paint has flaked in the upper section. But none of this stands out when not looking for flaws. If you need any more pictures or have any questions, please let me know – I’m happy to answer. PLAYFIELD PLASTICS: 9.5/10. COIN DOOR: 8.5/10.

Rare 1980 Gottlieb STAR RACE widebody pinball machine Shopped LEDs-FREE SHIPPING

This game works great. We have fully shopped it and replaced all of the rubber bands with new ones. We have also replaced all of the light bulbs with new Cointaker LEDs (the best you can get). There are just a handful of bulbs that are not cointaker but still LED, because the cointakers would not fit. But only a few. Every single bulb, switch, coil, target, display segment, sound effect, etc is working great. We replaced the MPU board with a new Rottendog MPU. The sound board is new. All of the other boards are original and working perfectly. This game has been in my Pinball Paradise playable pinball museum in central IL for about 3 years and had no problems at all other than one bumper not working for a while, which ended up just being a bad solder joint on the bumper driver board. A 2 minute repair. Otherwise, it has worked flawlessly for over 3 years with weekly play. NOTE: The displays all work perfectly and have no burns or flaws of any kind. The pictures unfortunately make it look like the displays are not working, because this darn iPhone doesn’t allow my to adjust the shutter speed. It is such a fast shutter speed that it catches the displays while drawing the digits and makes them look broken. Trust me, to the human eye, they look and function perfectly. If anyone knows how to adjust the shutter speed on an iPhone 12 please message me. We have of course completely shopped it after pulling it out of the museum last week, so it is playing about like new. This game really plays great, and has SO much to shoot for on the playfield. It has 2 banks of drop targets lower bank has new targets, and upper bank has original targets but I’m including all new ones if you want to change them. I didn’t want to because “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. There are 2 patented “vari-targets” well incorporated into the layout and rules. There are 4 flippers, some loop shots, several lanes, bumpers, slingshots, rollovers, saucers, etc… Just a really fun game with lots to do and a lot of challenge if you want to accomplish everything. Also, I need to emphasize just how HUGE this game is. Not only is it a wide-body, but it is also deeper / longer than most pinballs. It will stick out a little from the other pinballs in your line up because Gottlieb made these enormous. And it was well worth it, because they filled the playfield with a lot more artwork and things to shoot for. I really love these wide-bodies. I wish this became the standard size for pinballs. The game has a new ball and lock. The quarter coin mechs work so you can use it as a piggy bank if you wish. I should also mention that Star Race is one of the rarest Gottlieb games made. Very low production of 870 units. I have never seen another one and I have seen 10s of thousands of pinballs in the last 30 years. I don’t know where they all went, but they are not put up for sale very often I can tell you. One last thing to mention. The pinball has a solid steel plate bolted to the bottom of the game that completely covers the entire bottom of the game. This adds a lot of weight to the game. Because I’ve seen these on other Gottlieb widebodies just like this. It has a hole for the power switch. Here is a video I took showing that the game is fully working. CONDITION and RATINGS for THIS SPECIFIC MACHINE. The physical / cosmetic condition of this game is very good. It is not mint, but very good. The playfield does have some worn spots, but nothing very bad. It looks like there are a few areas that were touched up on the playfield but they look good to me and I’m not sure because it must have been before I got it. Overall, the playfield still looks very good in my opinion. The artwork is outstanding, and so vibrant that the few worn areas really don’t stand out at all. The plastics are all basically perfect. I can’t see any flaws or cracks or broken parts at all. The backglass looks very good, but definitely has some flaking. Fortunately the flaking is in the dark blue sections, which are sky/star areas so it doesn’t stand out badly and just looks like more stars. A lot better than if the girls were flaking badly which they are not. The cabinet is very nice and solid. The paint on the cabinet is all original – no touchup – and still is excellent. There are a few scratches and worn spots but not bad. The coin door is excellent, and has working coin mechs and original coin box. New LED bulbs to light the coin slots, and a new lock. It has been fully shopped with LED bulbs. If you need any more pictures or have any questions, please let me know – I’m happy to answer. PLAYFIELD PLASTICS: 9.5/10. COIN DOOR: 9.5/10.

The cabinet been repainted and then someone applied some stickers to the head to match a pattern that is typical for this era pinball machine. Looks very good, but it is not original. The backglass looks really great and is almost perfect. Gorgeous, vibrant artwork and very few flaws. Upon close inspection, you will see that there is a small section at the top left corner where the paint is starting to lift/flake. But this is only noticeable when looking for flaws.

Harlem Globetrotters (Bally) 1979 Fully Shopped

This is my Harlem Globetrotters pinball machine for sale. It’s a 1979 pinball machine by Bally. The playfield is immaculate (see photos). The entire machine has been completely gone through and every piece was removed then cleaned or replaced (if necessary). Absolutely everything on this machine has been inspected meticulously and then rechecked to ensure quality and durability. This machine plays awesome and will continue to for many years! Original cabinet with original side art in great condition; back glass in great condition; the flippers have been rebuilt; the rubbers are new; plastics are awesome; new LED score displays! This is a great 4-player solid-state model in tip-top shape! T will fit in the back of any truck and almost any SUV if you remove the head and legs (very easy). I can help disassemble and load it with your help. Or you can make arrangements to have it picked up. The pinball machine can be moved very easily – no stairs. There is tractor-trailer truck access on the street. I will make sure it happens without a hitch. Here are the specs. The entire pinball machine with the head weighs about 250lbs. The pinball cabinet is 52in x 22in x 16in. The head is 28in x 26in x 11in.

Rare 1980 Gottlieb CIRCUS widebody pinball machine Shopped LEDs FREE SHIPPING

This game works great. We have fully shopped it and replaced all of the rubber bands with new ones. We have also replaced all of the light bulbs with new LEDs. Every single bulb, switch, coil, target, display segment, sound effect, etc is working great. All of the PCBs are original and working perfectly. This game has been in my Pinball Paradise playable pinball museum in central IL where it has been popular. The only real flaw I should mention here (although it does not affect how it works) is that one of the targets on the “roto-target” is broken off. This is the target in the top left corner of the playfield. It is a big wheel with lots of different targets on it. From time to time this target rotates and changes what values are scored when hitting that target. One of the many targets broke off, and I can find no way to replace it. The good news is that it still scores and functions perfectly. It just doesn’t show the number “3” anymore. Otherwise, this game functions 100% perfectly and plays great in every way! NOTE: The displays all work perfectly and have no burns or flaws of any kind. The pictures unfortunately make it look like the displays are not working, because this darn iPhone doesn’t allow my to adjust the shutter speed. It is such a fast shutter speed that it catches the displays while drawing the digits and makes them look broken. Trust me, to the human eye, they look and function perfectly. If anyone knows how to adjust the shutter speed on an iPhone 12 please message me. We have of course completely shopped it so it is playing about like new. This game really plays great, and has SO much to shoot for on the playfield. There are FIVE flippers, drop targets some loop shots, several lanes, bumpers, slingshots, rollovers, saucers, etc… Just a really fun game with lots to do and a lot of challenge if you want to accomplish everything. Also, I need to emphasize just how HUGE this game is. Not only is it a wide-body, but it is also deeper / longer than most pinballs. It will stick out a little from the other pinballs in your line up because Gottlieb made these enormous. And it was well worth it, because they filled the playfield with a lot more artwork and things to shoot for. I really love these wide-bodies. I wish this became the standard size for pinballs. The game has a new ball and lock. The quarter coin mechs work so you can use it as a piggy bank if you wish. I should also mention that Circus is one of the rarest Gottlieb games made. Very low production of 1700 units. I have never seen another one and I have seen 10s of thousands of pinballs in the last 30 years. I don’t know where they all went, but they are not put up for sale very often I can tell you. CONDITION and RATINGS for THIS SPECIFIC MACHINE. The physical / cosmetic condition of this game is EXCELLENT. The playfield has some signs of minor wear, but I don’t see any spots where the paint has worn through. The artwork is SO amazing on this playfield. It is one of the best looking games out there. So vibrant and so much going on in the artwork. Almost like one of those kids’ books where they have so many things in the artwork that it’s a game to try to spot everything hidden in the details… The plastics are all basically perfect. I can’t see any flaws or cracks or broken parts at all. The backglass looks very good, but definitely has some minor flaking. Fortunately the flaking is in places where it is not really very noticeable. You almost have to be looking for it to see it. The cabinet is very nice and solid. The paint on the cabinet is all original – no touchup – and still is excellent. There are a few minor scratches and worn spots but very minor. The coin door is excellent, and has working coin mechs. New LED bulbs to light the coin slots, and a new lock. It has been fully shopped with LED bulbs. If you need any more pictures or have any questions, please let me know – I’m happy to answer. PLAYFIELD PLASTICS: 9.5/10. COIN DOOR: 8.5/10. STANDARD GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF SOLID STATE PINBALL SHOPPING.

GORGEOUS original 1981 Bally FATHOM pinball machine Shopped LED’ed-FREE SHIPPING

This is a fully working, fully shopped Fathom pinball game. We have fully shopped it and replaced all of the rubber bands with new ones. We have also replaced all of the light bulbs with new Cointaker LEDs (the best you can get). Every single bulb, switch, coil, target, display segment, sound effect, voice, etc is working great. The lamp driver board is new. The sound board (squawk and talk) is fully working with sound effects and speech (which can be a problem on this era Bally). All of the PCBS in this game have had the connector headers reflowed with fresh solder to ensure good connections. NOTE: The displays all work perfectly and have no burns or flaws of any kind. The pictures unfortunately make it look like the displays are not working, because this darn iPhone doesn’t allow my to adjust the shutter speed. It is such a fast shutter speed that it catches the displays while drawing the digits and makes them look broken. Trust me, to the human eye, they look and function perfectly. If anyone knows how to adjust the shutter speed on an iPhone 12 please message me. This is a pinball on which Bally pulled out all the stops. There are a ton of features and mechanics on the playfield, and all of them are working well on this pinball. There are two banks of inline drop targets that are self-dropping. These are very complex assemblies, and both are fully working (also have brand new targets installed). The inlanes / outlanes are brilliantly designed on this game because you can actually save the ball on EITHER, and you can also lose the ball on either. It requires practice and skill to learn how to keep the ball in play on these lanes. The rules on Fathom are quite deep and rich – which is unusual for games of this era which were typically very basic. This game also has awesome, iconic sound effects and voices. The game has new balls and lock. The quarter coin mechs work so you can use it as a piggy bank if you wish. And it is probably not necessary for me to mention how absolutely amazing and gorgeous the artwork is on this game – from the cabinet to the playfield to the best ever backglass artwork. This game is TRULY a work of art. Not that I would encourage such an attitude or behavior. If I had anything left to prove to my friends and family, I would keep this. But there is no need at this point. I remember playing fathom when I was a kid, and have very fond memories. My dad used to take me out to dinner and when we would go to a downtown Normal, IL restaurant called Subconcious (sub shop), they had one game – a Fathom pinball. He would let me play it, which was rare believe me. But it sure was not a waste – that game was fun. But actually it was a waste because I was not good at pinball and Fathom can be a VERY hard game for a beginner, so my games were over very quickly. Sorry for my long-winded description here…. I noticed when looking up information on Fathom that someone is working on a remake of Fathom, due out sometime in the future. Man, if that doesn’t tell you how great a game this is, I don’t know what will. The idea that people will pay over 11,000 for a copy of this game with no significant changes, when they could have this original shopped, fully working one for only 9,000. Here is a video I took showing that the game is fully working. CONDITION and RATINGS for THIS SPECIFIC MACHINE. This cosmetic condition of this Fathom is excellent. It is not perfect by any means, but without a doubt way above average. The playfield does have a few worn spots in the paint. But they are not very noticeable and don’t stand out at all. That is partly due to the complexity of the artwork, it actually kind of camouflages the worn spots. And other than those few small spots, the artwork is in great shape. The playfield plastics are all perfect as far as I can tell. I just didn’t want to wait a week for the new parts to come in before photoing and listing this. But the rest of the plastics appear to be perfect. I think I mentioned that the bumper caps and rings, the top lanes, and all the targets have been replaced with brand new ones. The backglass LOOKS perfect from the front. However, there is a small bit of paint lifting along the bottom edge of the glass if you remove the glass and look at it from the back side. I have taken a couple pictures to show this. But from the front it still looks perfect and shouldn’t get any worse if the game is taken care of. The cabinet is in very good, solid, condition with no water damage. The paint on the cabinet has been touched up with digitally color matched paints, and looks very good. The coin door is in excellent condition and has working coin mechs and an original coin box. If you need any more pictures or have any questions, please let me know – I’m happy to answer.
