Thanks a million for posting those Mark!

How cool are they!

As to the second letter in reference to Goddards at Broadway, Sydney.

I remember visiting there around 1979 looking for parts for my Buckaroo as they were the major Gottlieb importer at the time.

Down stairs where their spare parts division was they would of had around somewhere between 300 to 500 pinballs all set up on there legs in storage. I can clearly remember waiting for the parts and just looking at all those games with my jaw on the ground.

Wish I took a camera!



Yep - Goddards used to import the Gottliebs in the 70's - I remember the name, and when I was young, I used to call Gottlieb pins "Goddards"  %.%
