Marvel’s the Amazing Spider-Man Pinball Arcade Machine D. Gottlieb & Co. 2810

Experience the excitement of playing pinball with D. S Marvel’s the Amazing Spider-Man Pinball Arcade Machine. This original and authentic machine was manufactured in the United States in 1990, making it a valuable addition to any collection. The machine features Gottlieb’s signature quality and attention to detail, ensuring that it will provide hours of entertainment for years to come. Whether you’re a fan of pinball or simply looking for a unique arcade experience, this machine is a must-have. Special 24-inch (60 cm) wide-bodied cabinet. 4 Flippers (No Center Post). 1 Lane (with Spinner). 2 Drop Target Banks (3 and 5 targets). A total of 7,625 machines were produced and are currently sought-after collectors items. It was the first of Gottlieb’s System 80 design pinball machines. It also was the first Gottlieb pinball, with an “attract mode” lighting. In which various playfield lights, alternate between off an on, to make the game more attractive to passer-bye, thus encouraging play. It was also the first solid state pinball with the speaker in the backbox (head) instead of the bottom cabinet. Stan Lee the co-creator of “Spider-Man” and public face of Marvel Comics, claimed ownership of one of the first machines off the assembly line and kept it in his Marvel office until he auctioned it as part of his “Stan Lee collection” at Heritage Comics Auctions of Dallas, TX. Lee said that Over the years, I have spent countless frustrating yet perversely enjoyable hours attempting to play on it, as have numerous colleagues, friends and business associates (some quite famous, though a combination of modesty, shame and my legendary bad memory prevents me from divulging their names here) during their unrelenting pilgrimages to my office. In fact, I think many of these scions of arts and industry came over JUST to beat me up at pinball.
