1974
Gottlieb's "Capt Card". Rare
as only 675 of these "Card Themed" pinball machines with 16 drop
targets were ever made. The most drop targets (16 brand new drop
targets) on any big flipper game to challenge your pinball skill.
Super difficult hole shot for extra balls and bonus. Freshly
restored late November 2012. The favorite pinball machine of many
players. A perfect complement if you have a Royal Flush, Jacks Open,
Pop a Card, Top Card, Joker Poker or any of the Gottlieb "Card
themed" pinball machines. "Capt Card" plays the same as when it was
new. This is the only the 2nd Capt
Card Pinrescue has had the pleasure of restoring in the 15+ years we
have been doing only vintage pinball full time for a living . Good
chance once it is sold I will not have another one anytime soon.
Excellent Original cabinet and art glass average condition playfield
with some typical wear mechanically rebuilt and fun to play. The
year Capt Card rolled out of the Gottlieb factory, Doyle Brunson
finished 11th place and Thomas "Amarillo Slim" Preston finished 12th
in the World Series of Poker. Interesting to note that only 13
players ponied up the $10,000 entrance fee and the eventual winner
Walter "Puggy" Pearson won $130,000 winner take all. Second place
won zero dollars
Quality restored vintage pinball machines are a fun investment you
and your family can enjoy every day. Muscle Cars from this era are
bringing 6 figures when done right. Pinball machines may follow suit
as the demand is booming (read Baby Boomers) and the supply of good
working restored games is limited. Just where did the cool guys
drive those Corvette's, Camaro's and Mustang's to back in 1970's?
Straight to the local 7/11, Soda Shop, mall or bowling alley to play
