My xmas present to myself!!

[Mr Pinbologist]

Hi guys
 
bought myself two xmas presents in the last couple of days.. one was a brand new HP laptop computer, and here is the other one...

A 1975 Gottlieb Quick draw, a friend of mine found this one in the Tender Centre in Port Macquarie and called me a few weeks ago, they had $1100 on it. They had one bid of $850 which was rejected by the owner of the game. I am currently in Port Macquarie for xmas, so i went for a look at the game, even though it wasnt a title i am looking for. so after seeing a lot of potential ( and that the game works, with only a few switch/stepper issues) i made an offer of $1000... too much??? well... maybe a bit but i must say im NOT sorry, after playing a few games on it.. what an awesome game.

And not in that bad condition, especially the playfield. the backglass does have some missing paint but after my Universe bg this one will be a piece of piss to pretty up

Anyway for the moment its being stored at a mates place (in his game room, set up) til i can work out where the hell im going to put it

so theres one more for the resto que

[Mr Pinbologist]

more pics.. notice the zip tie blocking the left kickout hole.. put there by someone coz of the broken switch actuating lever in the kickout hole

dont ya just love the way people "fix" things like this??  

[Mr Pinbologist]

just a few more pics for now. The coin door i'll more that likely send off to be rechromed

Looking forward to this restore. Loved this game as a child.

Merry Christmas indeed !

Looks Great mitch and fast draw is a great Game and that playfield looks in great condition these are usually flogged out 

[braddo]

Looks like a great game to me i'd happily own one.

Check out the babe on the backglass!! (oh sorry trying not to be a pingeek).

Yeah, really good player that.  One of those "Just one more game" before i switch it off kinda machines.  These are the ones you want.

Well done

Thats as good as EMs come in original untouched condition. Mylar looks fine as well.

Well done Mitch,
Looks to be in very good condition 

My backglass has less paint left, so look forward to your backglass restore.
Playfield looks very tidy and will come up a treat.
Still playing mine often and enjoy it alot.
Have some spare targets and a nearly complete drop target unit I got off DDtoys,
if you need a part give me a yell.

Cheers
Dave

Nice machine. Looks like an fun EM to play. I bought an Cortina years ago held together with cable ties and silicone. Did the job I suppose.

Look forward to the restore.

Hey SPURR, before buying this one i looked at two electric guitars that i nearly bought before looking at this game... a "52 reissue Fender Telecaster, and a brand new Grestch hollow body electric (not sure of the model though). was $1700 for the tele and about $3500 for the gretsch. obviously i wasnt meant to get either of them..

Im Definitely running outta room fast!! but i've always managed to squeeze in one more machine... trouble is, i have yet another one coming fairly soon.

Quick Draw was a bit of an impulse buy i must admit, it was NOT one of my wish list titles but has some cool features i've not seen before, so should be a great player when done up properly.

Don't leave us in suspense what could be your next buy ?
