1966
Gottlieb's "Central Park" Classic vintage pinball with animation
(monkey rings the bell) cute family friendly fun. Central Park is
one of the most desirable pinball machines from the 1960's.
Pinrescue and everyone else loves to watch the monkey ringing the
big bell every 100 points. Restored the way you would do it if you
had the time, parts and ability and a beautiful Central Park to
begin with, over 100 hours labor and tons of brand new parts in the
restoration (completed Jan 2009). Some of the new parts Pinrescue's
crew installed on this gem: Brand new monkey in the head unit, Brand
new flippers, brand new pop bumpers, new chrome door, shooter, ball
push up, coin entry, legs, locks, flipper buttons, back door and
hardware.Near mint original art glass, beautiful playfield and a
super nice cabinet repaint. This Central Park plays as good as it
looks hard to believe it is
43 years old. Back in 1966 the Beatles released the Revolver
album and Grace Slick performs live for the first time with
Jefferson Airplane and Gottlieb released Central Park. Playing this
machine is like taking a trip back in time.
Notable features found on Central Park:
- Animated Backglass Bell ringing monkey
- Four new snappy pop bumpers
- Two all new flippers
- Complete the 1 thru 5 or 6 thru 10 targets five times to
light the easy to hit Specials Last Ball in Play light on the
glass
- 3 different sized bells including the large bell in the art
glass End of game match awards replay.
Muscle cars from 1966 are bringing 6 figures if correctly
restored classic pinball may follow suit as many times those Hot
Rods were driven straight to the local pinball place for some good
clean American fun. Unlike that 1966 GTO this Central Park comes
inside your home for everyone to enjoy.
Price $5000 (sold Homestead Fl) includes "white glove" inside insured
installation just about anywhere in the USA. Sure you can buy a
brand new 2009 pinball machine for that money but it will never ever
be a 1966 Central Park it will be "new".
