1974 Gottlieb OUT OF SIGHT (Far Out) pinball machine

Here today for your viewing pleasure is a 1974 Gottlieb Out of Sight pinball machine in action. Out of Sight is the two player version of Far Out, which is the four player edition.
Out of Sight and its cousin Far Out are surprisingly fun and challenging to play. Going after the lit drop target to add the bonus and get the 10x value when that side is lit earns the serious points. The left and right lanes behind the drop targets engage the left outlane kickback and the right outlane gate to the shooter lane. The top three lanes, when lit, advance the bonus.
The only complaint I have with this game is that the drop targets don't reset when they're all down. Once they're down, you're left trying to get the ball back to the top or into the lit left or right lanes to add to the bonus. There's just not much to shoot for once the targets are down. Still, I find this game fun and challenging enough.
The artwork is super groovy and definitely goes for the whole hippie aesthetic (although it might have been a little late by 1974).
Out of Sight and Far Out were designed by Ed Krynski (of course) with art by the great Gordon Morison.

amo este pinball!. tres bumpers, ocho drop targets, es muy rapido y entretenido. yo, desde 2016 que intento construir un pinball, de madera. sin arduino ni bobinas( no coil). estoy usando motores pequeños de 3volt. pero al usarlos con 24 volt, echan humo😅. mis ideas son buenas pero, los motores pequeños son mi problema. saludos de melipilla, chile.

This game gives me nightmares. It's the exact one that my Dad would play Saturday morning knowing I was in bed hung over in the room right next to it.

Peace, Love, and Tilt Central ...how Far Out is that.....when you're an 8 year old kid, like I was 45 years ago.....EVERYTHING'S Far Out....ESPECIALLY that Pinball Machine. I remember playing Out of Sight / Far Out ( it was named Far Out when it was inside a convenience store / arcade on Lafayette Avenue in Detroit, MI at the time ), and it was ....awful, no kidding it was a BLIP! Love the imaginative backglass design, almost reminiscent of Wizard ( from the points climber ), and the gameplay was fun....but 😛. My highest score was a dismal 29,400 points... maybe it was the backglass that did me in....I was Far Out....OUT OF IT. And to my surprise, the Pinball machine next to it.....was WIZARD....end of story. That was 45 years ago when I played it, and thanks to this video and your amazing restoration of it, my memories of this are a pleasant experience of my childhood.....well, it's pleasant NOW compared to back in the day, but that's what makes these Classic EM Pinball Machines just that: Classic! Out of Sight, yeah, but not Out of Mind...ish. ( Maybe I watched Johnny Sokko and his Flying Robot too many times back then, but pleasant memories regardless. I better stop before this trip down Pinball Memory Lane gets Far Out.....OF HAND....in a good way 😁 )!
