1978
Gottlieb's 2 Player "Eye of the Tiger" rare electromechanical
version of Gottlieb's huge digital hit from 1978 Sinbad. Freshly restored by
Pinrescue April 2019 with all new flippers, drop targets, plastics, posts,
rubber, lamps, pop bumpers, shooter, coin entries, locks, hardware and a new
playfield glass. Really nice 100% original cosmetic condition all round. Eye
of the Tiger is a classic Gottlieb EM pinball machine with drop targets. In
the late 1970's Gottlieb was purchased by Columbia Pictures and was licensed
to do a pinball machine themed after a movie released in 1977 Ray
Harryhausen's epic "Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger". Gottlieb produced a
staggering 12,950 Digital Sinbad's and only 950 4 player EM Sinbad's.
Gottlieb also did a paltry 730 “Eye of the Tiger’s” very low production and
most went overseas as everyone in the USA went digital crazy overnight.
During 1978 when this very nice machine was brand new the Sinbad and the Eye
of the Tiger movie ran up against a world beater in a little movie called
"Star Wars" but Columbia came back later in the year with "Close Encounters
of a Third Kind" This is the first Eye of the Tiger we have been able to
list on our webpage in the 2 decades we have been doing vintage pinball full
time.
