Gottlieb's 1977 "Bronco" Western Themed 4 Players very, very popular drop target game. Freshly restored late November 2020 good condition Gottlieb drop target game. Way cool 70's pinball action as the ball kicks up into kicker holes that kick the ball back down to the flippers. Just like a bucking Bronco. During 1977 the year this nice bronco left the factory the first commercial flight of the Concord from London to New York took place. Forty two years later the Concord is long grounded but this 4 player Bronco is going strong. Pinrescue has been hard at work restoring these extremely popular "Western Themed" pinball machines. Most of these classic pinball machines from Gottlieb sell before we can list them on our website. If you have always wanted a vintage Pinball machine maybe this Bronco is for you.

Bronco was the last great Gottlieb western themed multiplayer Electromechanical Pinball machine ever made. Gottlieb had a tradition of making great western themed machine that dates back to the 1941 Texas Mustang. They followed up with hit after hit including Buffalo Bill 1950, Wild West 1951, Poker Face 1953, Stage Coach 1954, Frontiersman 1955, Silver 1957, Straight Shooter & Sweet Sioux 1959. Then in the 60’s: Texan & Wagon Train 1960, Oklahoma, Corral, Show Boat 1961, (reflects the wild popularity of westerns on TV) Flipper Cowboy & Sunset 1962, Gaucho 1963, Bonanza 1964, for 1965 maybe the best year ever for pinball? Buckaroo, Kings & Queens, Cowpoke and Dodge City. Rancho 1966, King of Diamonds & Diamond Jack 1967, Lariat & Wild Wild West 1969. Starting again in 1971 with Sherriff & Lawman, 1974 Big Brave & Big Indian. If not 1965 as the best year ever for pinball 1975 may have top it. Legendary El Dorado & Gold Strike, the fantastic Fast Draw & Quick Draw 1975, Bank Shot & Sure Shot 1976. Gold Arrow, Mustang and Bronco 1977. The last of a long line of tremendous pinball machines.

Interest in vintage pinball is at an all time high. Ten new pinball manufacturers have sprung up in this decade. The average price of a brand new pinball machine is well over $6000 with “limited edition” models running well over $20,000. That makes owning a vintage pinball machine seem reasonable.

 Plays like it just came right out of the factory same as new. Pinrescue restored this Bronco with care for a long happy life in your game room (restoration completed March 2019). This Bronco is as clean as a pinball machine can be inside and out and has had tons of new parts installed like new flippers, new flipper buttons, new pop bumpers, new white posts, new playfield glass, new legs, bolts & levers, new coin entries, new shooter, springs & plate, 100% new rubber, 100% new lamps (nearly 100 lamps in Bronco all new), new locks and many new coils. Sure it costs us more to do a complete mechanical restoration and not just wipe it down and fix a problem or two. In the long run it is well worth it, game play like you remember from 1977.
