RE: Pinball Through the Ages: Some Gottlieb Games from the 1950s

in #pinball7 years ago

Thank you for the walk down memory lane!! I have such fond memories of skipping high school, walking with my friends down to the local pool hall, and playing pinball games for hours hahaha How I ever became a high school teacher is sometimes well beyond me :)

My husband Brian, and I, went on an epic road trip for a month across the States a few years ago, and while in Vegas, stopped at Rick's Restorations where he happened to be working on a couple of these beauties (and of course had some in the "museum" portion of his shop. It really is true, they just don't make 'em like they used to :)

Thank you again for this post...so awesome!

That's great. And good point about the restorers; sometimes they have a few games you can play. I've seen some come up in that location search from the pinballmap.com site (which is for North America). Best wishes to you!

Yes, it's like showing off their baby! "Go ahead, give it a whirl" :) The only problem with restorers is that when they see the finished product, they no longer want to sell it :)

Thank you for the well wishes!
