Two Thunderbird models

[jasonlujan]

Type A and a Type B - almost identical attractions. This is a first for me seeing the same aesthetics on wildly differently engineered backs.

I prefer Model A’s recyclers for sure by a wide margin.

2nd best comes model C’s (easy to disassemble/restore) then the B’s last, non-recycling, more tedious to disassemble/restore, loud payout bell compared to model A.

I've seen that particular model as both an A and a B, but no others that I can recall. I have an A version, the only A version machine that I have. Maybe they had a lot of parts in the bin when they transitioned and had to use them up...???

I also like the A recycler because it's more pleasant to play without frequently reaching around to reload.

I have to admit finding two different era machines that look so close is unusual.. even the pockets look the same..

Just saw the castle in both an A and B version on ebay...
