Pinball Machines

 
For your consideration is an original gottlieb black hole arcade pinball machine. The overall condition is very very nice. Cabinet is in good shape, with minor touch ups.

I do not see any issues with the back glass. The displays do need some work. The first two are good. The third is very bright and the fourth is not as bright as it should be. The spinner was not plugged in and i never fooled with it.

Playfields, both of them, are in great condition with just a little wear. Plastics look good as well.

Machine does play a game and the ball does go between the playfields. Flippers all work and the game scores. The sound works great with plenty of volume. I do feel it will need some service to have it working as it should. Please do not ask what does not work, because i do not have time or the ability to check it all out. What i do want is to give an honest description and not have someone believe this is a completely shopped game. It will need a little attention, but you can play it and see it is all there.
Not much more to say except check out the pictures and ask any questions you may have. If you are able you are welcome to come by and check it out.

My feedback rating is now at 527 positive feedbacks. They would come to my place and wrap it in blankets and deliver it to your door with no additional crating charges. As always you can use any other shipper of your choice (your leg work).

   

   
   
   
My dad who owns pinrescue and has been restoring vintage pinball machines full time for longer then i have been alive gifted me this 1951 mermaid for my high school graduation. All the beautiful rare pinball machines he has 1960 music man, em joker poker, pleasure isle like new 1975 el dorado’s and he gifts me this old clunker……. 1951 gottlieb’s legendary mermaid in as found 100% original condition except for the rubber and a few bulbs we replaced. 100% working condition including the 5 cent coin mech and the cute as can be animation unit.

Near mint original cabinet awesome cosmetic condition it lived a charmed life. 100% complete un-hacked and pretty clean inside.

The original red shooter guide is broken but we have the missing part and can be glued but new ones are available from the pinball resource. The impossible to find red shooter rod handle is broken (small chip missing). Hey i have fallen in love with mermaid there is no ugly here…..

The rockola 1937 world series found in an attic. The 1957 genco motorama in the back of the old vendors warehouse. The machine is available for inspection, kick the tires and play some games we are 30 minutes north of philadelphia.

1974 gottlieb sky jump pinball machine. Check out the pictures, the game is in great shape but does show signs of being almost 40 years old. There are some scratches on the cabinet and the playing field shows minor wear. The backglass has minor flaking, but for the age of this machine, it is in great shape.

I currently have 3 pinball machines and it is time to shed one. This is not a project machine. If you want a good solid entry into pinball machines, the sky jump is a good bet. It is well built and should provide many many years of trouble free fun.

Rare 1979 gottlieb pinball machine “tko”. This is a wedgehead type machine which is rare anyway and there is supposed to be only 125 tko machines made.

Its in used unrestored condition and on a scale of 1 to ten the machine would almost bring a 9. It plays well and only paint issues i see hav just been caused by very little ball wear in maybe 2 spots. The score counter does need work because machine keeps score to 900 then resets. This is a wonderful deal for someone becaus machines like this in not as good as condition as mine sell for twice as much as my starting price!!!

And this one is a nice clean unmolested original. Any questions pleas call me 304 472-6357. I reserve right to sell this item in other listed media.

After a very long year of work, this work of art is finally done. It is the most sot after and collectible gottlieb pinball machine ever made. It is the famous mermaid pinball created in april of 1951 by artist roy parker. According to gottlieb over 500 of them were made and very few of them survive today. To find one to own in this condition is impossible. The story behind this game, is that it was found in storage in florida in pieces with boxes of new parts that was bought to restore the game to brand new condition.

We assume as the original playfield was in good condition to begin with, that most of the parts and the game must have been bought at around the same time. The storage belonged to a family that had been in the business and the family member passed away. As you can see, we started from the bottom of the game and worked up and built everything using all the new old stock parts and we also used newer reproduction parts to update the game to newer performance.

This game plays fast and works like a charm. I have played 5 of these games at pinball shows in the past and nothing compares to this one. It is truly one of a kind. Mermaid has five dead bumper and two pop bumpers numbered across the playfield (1 to 7) and one red 1 point pop bumper.

The object is to unlight the seven numbered bumpers. If you do this once, the side rollover lanes go from 10,000 points(times two) to 100,000 points (times two). If you complete the seven numbered bumpers a second time, the two kick out holes go from 1 point plus 200,000 to 1 point plus 500,000. If you complete the seven numbered bumpers a third time, the two kick out holes lights for a special or free game. There is a few cool features this game made famous.

First is the animated back box which features a fisherman in a boat trying to catch a fish. Instead he gets a boot and a fish giving him the raspberry.
There is also a rollover at the top of the arch that pop up a ball saver that does not allow the ball to go between the flippers till you score 1 point.. There is also 1 set of nine rollover targets in the center of the game that scores you one point value and opens the ball save again. As i said before this is a very special piece that would be the main part of any collection or gameroom. Lastly, we are making a custom top header for the game in the form of our lovely mermaid. This will go with the game free of charge.
