1976
Gottlieb's "Ship Ahoy" great single player Add a ball machine in
very good original condition. Rare machine made for New York and
Wisconsin the two states that outlawed replay (win free games)
pinball. Gottlieb and the other manufactures came up with winning
extra balls to circumvent that stupid law which was repealed in late
1976. This beautiful machine was mechanically restored (November
2017) and needed no cosmetic restoration nice all original.
Perfect machine for your beach, shore, lake or vacation
home free delivery and one year warrantee anywhere along the Jersey
Shore. Help keep your pinball memories alive and pass them down to
your family.
Great pinball action trying to make all the numbers on the
ships wheel. Make them all and 3 Wows light to add extra balls which
light up on the glass as "WOW's. Win additional Wows with high
scores. Many collectors prefer Add a ball machines because of the
extra long play in your home.
Fine features found on this Ships Ahoy:
Spin and Spot (new old stock correct spinner) awards
wheel numbers
3 rebuilt (brand new) pop bumpers
2 Rebuilt (brand new) flippers
2 new high scoring bumpers 500 points each Win wows
(extra balls) for score and wows
100,000 plus scoring for over the top fun
Nice original Ship Ahoy it looks like it is 5 years old
not the 41 years old it really is. Ok original art glass very nice
original cabinet and excellent playfield rebuilt November 2017 and
ready to ship. Some movies you might have went to in 1976 when Ships
Ahoy was brand new were "Rocky" , "King Kong", "Carrie" and
"Marathon Man"
Don't wait another year for a vintage pinball machine they
are fun investments. You and your family will love playing a vintage
pinball machine.
Gottlieb made the finest electromechanical pinball machines
right here in America. They are of a quality the Germans and Chinese
can't touch. One of the few investments you can enjoy every day in
your home. Pinrescue has only restored 3 Ships Ahoy in the 20 years
we have been doing only vintage pinball full time. Good chance if
you miss this one it will be a long time before we get another and
every chance it will not be as nice as this one.
