1977 Gottlieb’s “Golden Arrow” The last western themed single
player electromechanical pinball machine from Gottlieb, the end of an
era. Low production of just over 1500 machine made in 1977 my guess is
most of them must have been exported to Europe as you never find them
for sale here in the good old USA. Happy July 4th 2019 freshly early
July 2019. Western themed pinball machines are a hot collectable some
of the greatest pinball machine ever made are western themed. For
example Aztec, Buckaroo, Bronco, Bow and Arrow, Big Brave, Bonanza,
Corral, Cowpoke, Dodge City, El Dorado, Fast Draw, Gun Smoke I could
almost name one for every letter in the alphabet. The big three
major pinball manufactures made well over 100 different western themed
titles out of their Chicago factories and this 1977 “Golden Arrow” was
the last of its kind. Never to be the same as Gottlieb, William’s and
Bally all went digital the next year.
Back in 1977 the Bee Gee’s were topping the charts with the
mega hit songs from “Saturday Night Fever”, don’t wait another three
decades for a classy vintage pinball machine they may all be gone.
This really nice Golden Arrow has been mechanically restore
with tons of new parts installed like new flippers, new flipper
buttons, new pop bumpers, new caps, new white posts, new playfield
glass, new legs, bolts & levers, new coin entries, new shooter,
springs & plate, 100% new rubber, 100% new lamps (nearly 80 lamps in
Golden Arrow all new), new locks and many new coils. Sure it costs us
more to do a complete mechanical restoration (just completed July
2019) 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.
