This custom 1990 Gottlieb Deadly Weapon pinball machine is a must-have for pinball enthusiasts or It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia fans. The game as designed originally by Gottlieb is a knock off of Lethal Weapon. The gang on Always Sunny made their own knock of Lethal Weapon on 2 separate episodes. I just had a wild hair to turn my old game into something unique and super cool. Hopefully you agree and want to add it to your collection! The machine before retheming had not been well taken care of and there are no stencil kits or premade vinyls to replace the original artwork on the cabinet, it was in poor shape as seen in the before pics, and needed a lot of love, the top of the backbox especially had to be rebuilt, and is now sturdy and solid, but is not perfect, the artwork I designed is one of a kind, and I own the pattern, I’m the only one with the files to recreate it, and I don’t plan on doing it again, as this is a low run machine of 800 or so made in 1990 and is the only one I’ve seen in 10 years of rebuilding and restoring games, the playfield is the only untouched area and is the original playfield from the game, it has wear and tear and is not perfect, mainly streaking and paint blemishes, someone at some point attempted to hand paint some areas and it shows, it does however play perfectly and is a very fast and fun game, the machine has been stripped down, sanded and painted, and put back together, all boards have being gone thru and are 100 percent working great! The new artwork is in excellent condition. The coin door was painted at some point and has runs and wear but it cleans up nice, and I felt it along with the playfield help it feel more authentic and loved in for the theme of the game and throwback feel it delivers. The game play and music and sound effects are all the original deadly weapon code, no mods. It plays as deadly weapon and is a very fun street level game, it is sure to be a conversation starter in any room. This pinball machine is perfect for those who love vintage arcade games and want to add something unique to their collection. Game also comes with a brand new original Deadly Weapon NOS translight!
