These are NEW Gottlieb 27 inch chrome non-ribbed legs as was factory on Gottlieb Electro Mechanicals, SYSTEM 1 and some SYSTEM 80 games (front legs). They are commonly installed on games starting in 1976 - 1990. If you have the manual for your game, the correct sizes will be denoted. If you are not sure, PM me the name of your game and I will look it up.
Here's the deal ;
I am selling in sets of four legs for a price of $100 + Shipping.
They will be shipped in either long tubes, or boxes. Whatever it costs me to ship to you - that's what you pay. I'm not making anything on shipping. I THINK it will cost around $18 to NSW and $27 to Perth. Just add the cost of the Aussie Post Tube. I'll have more info as I take orders.
Maximum of TWO sets per member for this first batch - so EVERYONE gets the opportunity. There will be more available at affordable prices.
Pick up is welcome in Thomastown 3074.
PM me your order with the address, and I will provide the shipping quote.
Direct Deposit only at this stage.
Leg Levellers and leg bolts are available through RTBB. I don't have these in stock at this time.
Here's a picture of the legs. Around 20 sets will be available and what does not sell on AP will be sold on eBay.

First in, best dressed. ^^^ ^^^

Too cheap sir. :lol
+1 to the post tubes for shipping legs. Unfortunately many others don't and they get damaged.

Thanks Marty. I think these are GREAT for high end restorations or to replace the tired, worn and commonly incorrect legs that are on collector's machines. The legs are individually wrapped in plastic and will be packed properly.

I got mine on Friday Nino, haven't unpacked yet but a big thanks ^^^

Thanks Nino, received my new legs one working day after your dispatch email. Even the postie asked "bloody hell, what's so heavy in this tube?"
Still can't believe, you spend you're time packing, labeling and shipping at such a low cost. You're a champ @@*
Dam!!!! Just wish I had some more 70's Gottlieb's, as these legs are hard to find.
Bugger it. I'm going to order one more set before you run out, or eBay them. ^^^

No problem Paul. A few members have made similar comments regarding the weight of the tube. I wanted to give collectors a cost effective opportunity to either replace their rusted old legs, or install the correct legs for their games without breaking the bank !
Once the legs have run out of stock, we will be ordering more.

Do u have any 31 inch Gottlieb legs Nino?

My machine is Cactus Jack's (System 3) - part number for legs is 26684. Do you have anything to suit?

The manual should state the leg size. either 27 1/2 or 31 inch. I have both sizes which are suitable for most games of this era. I recall my Street Fighter had ribbed legs, but the flyer has non ribbed. So they may have changed them over the years. Best thing to do is measure yours and report back !
At a guess I'd say they are 27 1/2 inch.
-
Yes, I can measure, but how do I know it has the right legs on it to start with?
In the manual all it says is the part number!

If you go to the Pinball Resource web site, click on cabinets and then legs it explains what was used on Gottlieb Pins, they were either type b or on system 3. This is what Nino is selling

Still lost on this one - Pinball Resource says check manual for 1990+ machines!

This is where the issue is confusing. System 3 games have 27 inch legs with ribbing. The ribbing is not the length of the leg like Bally/Williams, but shorter like SYS9/11. The only way to check is via the flyers on IPDB. For this title, they are no help. But look at Stargate or Street Fighter II and you will see what I mean. I don't think anyone supplies these original SYS3 legs.

Your lest bet is the standard 27 inch legs.
-
OK, I'll check if the current legs have the ribbing and take it from there.
-
Sold Out !
No more 27 inch legs are left, but I will be importing more next year ^^^
Thanks to all that bought the legs and supported this little venture #*#

Your lest bet is the standard 27 inch legs.
Just to add to the confusion, in mid 1993, Gottlieb changed from a 27 inch leg to a 31 inch leg starting with Wipeout.
This can be witnessed by the location of higher leg bolt holes on the Wipeout, as opposed to the lower leg bolt holes on the Teed Off (which was the last Sys 3 game to use 27's.
Any game Gottlieb sys 3 after Teed Off with 27's looks and feels ridiculously low. I've put a set of 31's on a SF2 and was way too high, so it has to be set up with the correct sized legs.
Did I secure the last set of 27's Nino? Glad your getting more in next year ^^^

Three sets were packed yesterday for another member and yours is the last set put aside for you ^^^

Do you know where I can get some of these?
I know its an old thread, but on the lookout for some replacement gottlieb legs.

Unfortunately, you need to buy from Pinball Resource overseas. Very expensive shipping, but cheaper than the local alternatives (they used to be listed for $150 on eBay !@#)
-
In need of some of these, have you thought about doing another run?
-
I would be keen on a set too!
-

Yes we have - But the price would be significantly higher, as the original run was done by container, whereas a new run would be air freight. We are looking at doing another container run, but that won't be for at least 12 months.

Would it be competitive with importing a set? Asked PBR this morning and haven't got a quote back, but $14~US per, x 4 = $110au odd. Plus shipping i'd reckon would be $80au at least. Much rather pay $150-200 here.

PBR are winding down due to the Virus, so it might be worth waiting until May (as they told me yesterday). I might ask if they can send out a few sets with pricing - the AUS$ took a beating 2 weeks ago, but it should improve.
-
I’d definitely be in for a couple of sets if you get them in Nino.
-
Going to get my set chromed unless i here that you are definately going ahead. PBR said $130US for one set for me, but it's hard to justify $400au and waiting however long when i can get chrome done for $300.
I know it will be close to $400 though once i put new levellers, protectors and bolts on top.

I’m
After some gottlieb legs for a 1971 em think they are 31.5 inch? Does this sound right? If so and your doing a bulk order Nino I would be up for some
