    Default 1934 Gottlieb Pinball "Merry-Go-Round"

    Here is a cool looking antique pinball game for someone in the Long Island area. Low starting bid and only a few days to bid. I see older pins like these come up on ebay from time to time, but I thought the merry-go-round feature made this one pretty cool.

    There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

    A very nice machine. Too bad it is missing its bottom rail on the glass
    Over the hills and threw the woods, pachi hunting we go.

    Agreed, however I don't think it would be very difficult to create a new piece with a router table and then match the color of the existing rails.

    If I had the funds, I think I would be bidding on it.

    Well I would have to say that it is a very unique piece of American Pinball History. I think one of our members will probably pick it up. Would sure like to be able to see under the playfield. It looks like it works like any old pinball, pull the glass and lift the top.
