    Default Looking to Buy 1976 Montreal Olympic Figured

    I found a 1976 Montreal Olympic machine at a thrift store for $45. Looking to replace the missing figures as someone removed them previously.

    Any ideas where to start my search?

    Welcome to Pachitalk

    Thanks for the welcome!

    I’m new to this whole thing but I’m missing the Olympic figures, I don’t know what they are actually called! Attached is a picture of my machine!

    I don't think yours is a Montreal Summer Olympics machine.
    What if...​the ​HOKEY POKEY, is what it's all about?

    Agreed. I think it has the background that most/all of the Olympic games had, but different playfield adornments.

    Any idea what it is then? �� I thought someone had taken the Olympic Adjournments off the machine and it’s the base of the Montreal machine.

    There are some machines/games that do have a specific playfield design.

    Montreal Olympics is not one of those machines/games. The playfield used is a stock/generic playfield, that Nishijin used on several games.

    So, you might find a dozen different center features using this same playfield.

    I pulled my Olympics machine out of storage and it it similar to Moparperformances example.

    20211211_214825.jpg 20211211_215056.jpg
    The center feature is completely different, and the two side figures have openings behind them for balls to enter

    20211211_215116.jpg 20211211_215127.jpg 20211211_215123.jpg

    I find it humorous that apparently the girls right arm, (which looks like it is bent the wrong way!)
    Is apparently hiding the "N" and the "T" in Montreal!
    They used a narrow font on the left side for "Olympics" and got all 8 letters on. But on the right they used a different wider font and only got 6 of the 8 letters on it.
    I also noticed that you don't see the Olympic rings anywhere on the machine....

    The center feature is cool in that a down-the-center ball hits the yellow springboard and bounces the ball back up onto the medal stand where it takes the different exits based on the position and opens different tulips.
