Gottlieb Centigrade 37 (1976)
Bought it about 30 years ago from a mate who operated, then gave up the biz in disgust at the damge his pins sustained from kids. Paid him $100 including getting it fully working. It sat in the old colorbond shed for abt 25 years and was loved and played intensely. Interest waned towards the end . . . . then I discovered TAF (shock,horror fark! I hear the retro guys saying) Nowadays DMD's blow my skirt up - although I did manage to get a damn near pristine C37 backglass at auction, framed it in a mock wedgie box and look at it with a bitter tear in the eye.
Miss the good old "ding dingeddy ding ding clackety clack" Now I occasionally play friends EM's so all is not lost.
