Gottlieb King Pin (Dr. Dave's Pinball Restorations)

[@galloper1]

I used to play this machine during the 70s and 80s in Australia. Great fun!

Out lane drains were notorious on these 70s pinball and the change in tone gives it a fu chime. lol Thanks for posting.

I miss Kingpin soooo much. It was enjoyable watching you play. I guess it's been about 48 years since I've played it. Thanks a bunch for making the video.

Wow amazing job on restoration! Wish my king pin looked that nice lol

[@pinballdoctor]

I have another one of these waiting in the wings to restore. Great game!

I want that. There were certain pool and bowling themed games from Gottlieb that seemed to be made specifically for the billiards-area of the bowling alley. I played just about every machine ever made having grown up near the Jersey shore in the 60s and 70s. Before solid state the pinball selections for EM were 40s to the 70s. Warehouse after warehouse of machines. Amazing how many pinball designs there actually are in the world. For me, EM is more interesting and imaginative. Robotic art that presents a puzzle to the end user. Don’t tell me that the old clunkers won’t punish you beyond the tilt if you bump and nudge in all the wrong places. These machines have personalities.

[@pinballdoctor]

Amen to that. Glad you overstand these wondefull kinetic pieces of art.

Looks great as usual!

[@pinballdoctor]

Thanks Brian!

[@pinballshenanigans]

Nice restore!

[@fishon8406]

Sweet. Nice work.

[@pinballdoctor]

Thankyou!

Where can a person find a new playfield overlay and back glass I realize they won’t look like original

[@pinballdoctor]

Not sure about an overlay but if going that way, a HARD TOP is much more closer to looking like a real NOS playfield than an overlay. Backglasses can be had from Shay Assad backglass. Or BG resto backglass.

[@williamdooly4111]

@@pinballdoctor thank you for the information

[@bredman0618]
