NICE 1964 Gottlieb BOWLING QUEEN pinball machine Shopped LED’ed FREE SHIPPING
This is a fully working, fully shopped Bowling Queen 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 cool light on the backglass 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 locks. It has a quarter coin mech that works but if you wish, I can modify it (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. CONDITION and RATINGS for THIS SPECIFIC MACHINE. This cosmetic condition of this Bowling Queen pinball is excellent. It is not perfect, but quite good for something built almost 60 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 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. 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.
