I used to have a love/hate relationship with Drop A Card in the 70s. A great Gottlieb card theme EM.

I love this game, it will never leave my collection. I have set it to 3 balls, and replays for 5 ball scores, top game set-up that way.
I rang Spurr to buy this, he has been after one for ages...............but now he wants a bloody DMD lol
 

Seriously a fun game, make the guy an offer.

Hi all,

This pin is the suburb next to me (i'm in Blackburn North).

IF any interstaters need me to pick this pin up, and store here until you work out the courier details, i'm happy to assist. (just in case the seller is stubborn about not dealing with couriers etc.

Although i would one-day like an old EM to tinker with, the 'drop card' doesnt really do it for me 

Anyway, the offer's out there guys!

Great offer Marty!!!!

You're an asset to the community Marty - I want this machine so bad!!!  Would I be a fool to pay $1,200 BIN + $250 freight in it's condition?

[Marty Machine]

No probs guys,

I know someday i'll need someone to pickup a pin from NSW or QLD, so 1 hand washes the other hehehehe.

I asked the seller about popping around for inspection, so i'll hopefully get a detailed look-see to assist anyone that's interested in it....it might be a real dog inside.

Enjoy!

If its a title you want then grab it, because that is the first one I have seen on ebay. 1450 all-up.........if its in decent condition then its worth that. Rust on door/legs is an easy fix with hammertone. Kinda rare game, not many guys know how much fun this table is.

Don't know about rare....for a game of it's vintage there are still a few kicking about (I have owned 3 of them in the last 10 years).

Excellent game, always wondered what it would of been like with 3" flippers

The top drop targets are tough shots - another Ed Krynski classic!

2600 made, and how many survive? to me that makes it kinda rare.
Certainly a rarish title here in Australia anyway.

Way I look it: 2600 made, prob 30-50% wrecked/dumped/destroyed.
Then to own a surviving example in this country!

Great offer, Marty and this would be a great game to restore and play !

What I meant was from all the Gottlieb pins released in 1971 this is the most common by far. These are the replay Gottlieb pins released from 1971 (haven't added export or add a ball models). Also it's estimated that only 2-10% of games survive...very sad

What a good year 71 was Tony. I often wondered what the estimated survival rate is. 2-10% wow, that makes what we own really special.

So what would be classed as Rare?  How many games produced my jungle princess had 1600 built is that rare?

That is for pre 1970 (which this nearly is).

Sad isn't it? At least we are doing our part in keeping the flame burning

What one person thinks is rare to another it wouldn't be.....to me any game pre 1960 is rare, not just because that is what I collect........... just cause they are
