Gottlieb's "Tropic Isle" beautiful Hawaiian themed pinball machine. Fully Restored by Pinrescue early January 2021 Happiest of New
Years!. This is only the 2nd Tropic Isle that we
have ever listed on our webpage. Only the 3rd one we
have had the pleasure of restoring and the 1st one was 15 years ago! We guess that either collectors are holding on to
theirs or many just did not survive. So popular many
were played to death. Pinball in general has
blossomed during the pandemic we completely sold out before Black Friday 2020.
Wonderful complex game
play from 59 years ago:
Make "A,B,C,D" targets
to advance the monkeys up the palm tree on the
spectacular art glass and awards 200 points.

replay
2nd monkey awards 2 replays
3rd monkey awards 3 replays and they all start at the
bottom of the palm tree!
This feature carries over game to game.
Three unique roll under gates award up to 50
pointsFive top rollovers lights Specials and 200 points on the
drain.
Four rebuilt Pop Bumpers Two Flippers (all New Parts)
What was happening in Hawaii in 1962 when this like new
Tropic Isle was "NEW" ? Entertainer Elvis Presley's
Blue Hawaii is top of the charts for an amazing 79
weeks. Singer Don Ho performs for the first time at "Duke's" in Waikiki, playing this Tropic Isle is like taking a trip back
in time.
Restored with care (January 2021 good
riddance to 2020) our Tropic Isle features a near
perfect original art glass, original cabinet paint that nearly looks it's age with some questionable touch ups. The
beautiful original playfield is in great shape and
shines like the Hawaiian sun at noon. We also
installed all new pop bumpers, flippers, rubber, lamps, playfield glass, legs, locks, shooter housing, bulls eye
targets and more. Does it cost us more to do it
right of course it does. Tons of pictures below
