Gottlieb Strange World Pinball USA
« on: May 23, 2012, 09:16:14 PM »
Man this is one cool looking pinball, kinda wacky, hence the name I guess.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1978-GOTTLIEB-STRANGE-WORLD-PINBALL-MACHINE-1-PLAYER-REPLAY-/300714528240?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4603fb8df0

Only 675 made, pity it's not in Aus.

One question, Why is it a Wedghead, when earlier machines weren't?

Rare game. Seen a project game in either Adelaide or NSW. Went cheap but had a poor cabinet.

I think this is one of the last wedgeheads hence the later style door .

Jacks Open and TKO wedgeheads also had the new style door
