It is a pretty cool 1970s player. I owned a real nice Bronco (the 2 player version) about 7 years ago and it kept my interest....the only thing I found was a bit strange was the 3 individual drop targets and the way they were positioned on this game.

Still good old Ed Krynski designed so many cool games for Gottlieb  ^^^

Wouldn't buy off those photos though  *.*

Also if you were looking at buying an EM for your first would save my money for a better game such as a single player Gottlieb wedgehead  #*#

I think if I buy an EM it will be a not working project with a reasonable playfield so that it is pretty cheap.

A VERY cool EM. I like Mustang / Bronco. As Tony stated, it has a strange design (for its time), with the single targets mare or less in the center of the playfield. But it is a Gottlieb !

The photos will not help with the sale - maybe a quick inspection ? It could be very nice ?

I sold one on Ebay about a year ago. There was a BRONCO selling at the same time.

Mine had a 10/10 PF 9.5/10 BG and 8/10 cabinet - it sold for a disappointing $850. The BRONCO went for $1150 from memory.
Never liked the game though - typical GTB 70's pin with a target bang in line with the centre of the flippers.

For the price this is selling for - the bank A ball thats keeps getting floated would be a MUCH better buy... now that is a pin worth having
