First SS made by Gottlieb of the 18 sys 1 titles. Ed doing the PF design and Gordon doing the art...can't lose.

I havnt even seen it yet Studly. but from what ive been told by a mate who has your right about the backglass, but aparently it isnt too bad. playfield is supposed to be in very good shape, but cab needs to be cleaned up. It surely cant be as bad as my skylab cab.

I am a big fan of Sys 1 machines.  With a bit of work like grounding mods and replacement boards such as Pascal and Ni Wumpf available these machines become pretty much bullet proof.  Shopped out they play very well as well as being very deceiving when it comes to game play - they don't look like much but they keep you coming back for one more game after kicking your butt more often than not.

Nice game. As mentioned, the backglass is the main issue. Crazing in the red areas and the display glass windows. Good game to play !

I have one in the resto queue, same thing crazed backglass.
Would really like the EM version, the backglass has better art.

The cabinet also fades.
