Ski Champ (Gottlieb)
« on: April 18, 2010, 02:46:15 PM »
I like rescuing old backglasses, no matter what condition, and hanging them wherever Mrs Bossninja allows (this translates to my half of the garage or my office at work).
I recently hung a Ski Champ (Gottlieb EM) backglass - see the thread on framing / hanging backglasses - and for interest, throught I'd look up details about that machine on the Internet Pinball Database. Drew a blank.
Anyone able to give me a year of manufacture?
Wanted: GTB Aquarius backglass. Any playfield bits and backglasses from any EMs - nothing is junk to me.

Well that's definately a game I've never come across or even heard of.

Thanks - mystery sort of solved. Wonder why "Ski Champ" is not mentioned?

Is there any chance yours has redone text there? The way it sits in the white areas compared to the other version made me wonder.

I was wondering the same thing. The word 'Ski' doesn't fill the space properly.
