Gottlieb Flying Chariot 1963
« on: October 10, 2009, 10:36:55 PM »
Been rebuilding this on and off over the past 6 months, thought I better pull my finger out seeing the meet is next Saturday.

So finished her this afternoon....what a pretty game.

Even the guys 'not into' the old school games have to admit she is stunning.

So what did she get? Full mechanical rebuild (not happy with the flippers), playfield torn down and cleaned, all new bumper caps, skirts, bodies, new flipper kits, all rollover guides, new decals for the 'bullseye' targets and even N.O.S. score and instruction cards.

Close up of the playfield...lots of colour...pity about the 'drag' between the flippers  !!!

Love this machine, Tony. This one looks amazing. From memory - you previously repainted the cabinet ?
