I play all the Gotlieb 70's EM'S at a place they opened last June in Girard, Ohio called Past Times Arcade. That Atlantis, along with Abra Ca Dabra and El Dorado are the pinacle deep target Gotliebs...😊👍💯

I played the add-a-ball version of this game Pin-Up back in the day

Wedgehead madness. Beautiful machines, they look brand new and I’m sure they are mechanically. Amazing work

[@thegottliebguy4543]

Thank you! I hope to add more videos soon too! Thanks for watching!

KING PIN. A 10/10 for playability and fun !
Looking for a replica back glass for my `72 Bally Space Time. Any idea?

[@thegottliebguy4543]

Very cool! It’s such a fun game!

[@bppierce166]

The first game I rode my bike to the arcade to play as often as possible. Would love to own one someday.

[@willierants5880]

Very nice game, was this listed on pinside or just Craigslist? Curious what it went for back in the pandemic craze.

[@thegottliebguy4543]

Thanks! I honestly cannot recall - maybe $1600 restored?

[@gordonblack4920]

I used to play this machine a long time ago

[@baker6speed]

I use to play that Machine at the bowling alley . I loved it . Another favorite was the Sheriff pin ball . I beat King Pin a few times . I’d love to own that machine .

I would so buy this machine but I live in Ontario, Canada 😔

[@SWProzee1Gaming]

If I had a table like this, I would play all day. And it would drive my girlfriend nuts with all those sounds.

[@daleskillman3885]

This is the 1st pinball I bought . Got it for $500.00 had and played it for 10 years and got my money back. I bought it because that's what everyone here in Philly called me "KING PIN" every gal wanted to be with me and every guy wanted to be like me ! I kinda miss it a true classic Gottlieb wedgehead !
