im sure hankins also imported the early gottliebs as an ex-owner of a high hand it had a hankins sticker on the apron an excellent mylar job on the playfied and daggy woodgrain stuck around the shooter arch and pop bumpers which preseved well. after peeling the woodgrain shit off and cleaning the playfield came up brillant.anyone know of any other em,s with a similar history ?

Yes a mate is restoring a Gottlieb wedgehead (Top Card) and it has the woodgrain applied to shooter arch area and i have a couple of stripped gottlieb PF's that have the same woodgrain applied . I did wonder who or why this was done because its a different way of protecting the PF . These PF's are over here in WA
