Spotted on TV

[///]

I was watching Talkin' 'bout Your Generation tonight on Ten and spotted this wedgehead powered up in the corner of the set.
Gottlieb 'Egg Head'

Edit: typomania

Yes,,, I seen that to....

[ajlaird]

Was watching an episode of American Pickers and there was a pinball machine in the episode, but only a side shot - probably an EM given the pattern on the side, could have been a wedgehead but a bit hard to tell.

Yeah I've seen a few on American Pickers, there was one on this week's episode.
They had visited the owner of a concrete block plant who has been collecting all sorts of crap most of his life(he'd be 80ish), had sheds full of some friggin amazing stuff including cars and yachts. Told them he had more stuff at his home.
Told them he's quite happy to sell anything because his kids have zero interest in it. Crazy.
If I was his grandkid he'd have been always yelling at me to stay out of there!

Anyway, I saw a single pin and three jukeboxes along the wall of one shed, but could not catch the name of the pin :(

Didnt see the pin.. did see the jukes, plus the strength tester they picked up ( in AWESOME CONDITION!!!) was an absolute steal at under $200 or so.
Would have loved to have stumbled across this

Spotted another...
Just turned the TV on this morning, it was already on 7mate and some kids show called Brittany High was on.
Two guys were playing pool/billiards at a house with a DMD in the background.
Very hard to see what it was but may have been a Funhouse.

Just finished catching up with the latest episodes of American Pickers and there's an episode that features a couple that used to run a CoinOp business so now have a shed full of machines collecting dust.
The guys picked a couple of pins for $175 each... grrrrrr 

A couple of screenshots:



For those with the know how, include S03E11 in your torrent search.

There was a really crappy late night show in QLD not too long back.. one of those put a load of clips together type programs.
In the background was a GTB SOLAR RIDE.. used only as a prop as PF lights were turned off, but backglass was lit up

[Marty Machine]

I keep seeing a Bally "Nip-It" (1973) on Happy days in AL's diner....It get's a lot of coverage, as Fonz & the guys keep leaning all over it during small-talk etc...

probably old news ;-)
MM.

I tracked it down... Series 02 Episode 03
There were TWO pins! Never saw the other one when I first watched it.
Can only identify one of them... Gottlieb's "Wagon Train" (IPDb link)
The other one in the far background has a picture frame obscuring the backglass :(

[ajlaird]

Yes, that is the episode I watched as well. The second pin doesn't look so much like a wedgehead from this angle.

With the choice of all those machines at 175 each, why would you pick Charlies Angels?

They aren't pinball experts...if it was one of us, we would have bought the lot for $175 each.
