I was looking at all the parts Pinball Resource has for Canada Dry
I'm thinking I may have to get one of these.. and I don't own any EMs, and I don't 'speak' EM.
A few years ago, at Pinball Expo in Chicago, I snuck down to the play area in the middle of the night. This is really the best time to play. On Saturday night, they don't close the hall, and there are lots of games that you just can't get at to play during the day when the hall is busy.
I spent an hour playing 'El Dorado, City of Gold', the SS game with this layout. It sucked me in, and I played and played and played.
I found out the playfield was used for El Dorado, Gold Strike, Lucky Strike, Target Alpha, Solar City and Canada Dry.
So, I wondered why I've never seen a Canada Dry? Apparently, they were all sent to France!
So, the love of the layout, combined with the rarity of the title... makes me think this is the one. Of course, now how do I find one?
John - Would be great to see you pick up an EM and restore it to its former glory - especially to your standard. Canada Dry was only an export machine, and I don't know of another in Australia, but I've heard of a few in the USA. They should still be in collections in Europe.
Wait until you see what NOS parts were sourced by the owner !
