small steps today..clean and installed the original score card tray. had a pinball rescue decal but felt the original just needed a touchup and all would be sweet..will print out repro cards in the coming week.

 

notice the non use of the word 'flipper' on the tray..and they were also absent on the actual flippers (and anywhere on the game including the flyer) so kept to the theme and installed new blank flippers without the 'flipper' text (they aren't tightened yet, that's why they aren't even).

Gottlieb Fun Fair, the Italian AAB of Fun Park 1968..have almost finished this game after working on and off for the last 4 years. Still need to make a pedestal for the head and find some metal locking channels for the top of the backglass.

 

When this game arrived into Australia it was hammered and missing many parts.. the playfield was missing so much paint, especially around the lower third around the ducks.

 

Some of the differences for this game are the very cool AAB feature, which actually fires the ball back up the playfield to the right through the spinner..there were only a handful of Gottlieb games made with this feature..have shown photos of above and below the playfield.

 

When the game arrived here it was missing all of these parts, so it was a challenge to find the parts/fabricate the parts/get it working as it should.

 

Note on the lower apron there is no use of the word 'flipper' on the apron and also on the actual flippers.

 

Have kept the original coin entrance plates and the playfield glass had the awesome original Italian operators sticker, which I have on the top of the playfield so it doesn't interfere with the instruction card.

 

Note there was an extra dummy reel added to the right of the score.

 

Actually said I'd never, ever do it again but planning to host a meet either late 2017 or early 2018, will have so many new, very rare and cool mechanical games ready by then (actually will have the entire shed of about 30 games all running by then).

 

If anybody can help with the top of the playfield metal lockdown channels I would greatly appreciate it!
