Gottlieb Funland Electromechanical pinball machine

Find me at https://coffeetime.freeflarum.com/ These old EMs as they were known really were works of art from a mechanical standpoint and the guys that designed them have my admiration. This machine is all original parts apart from perhaps flipper linkages and bulbs and it's 52 years old. It still works, I can't think of a modern solid state table that will still be working in 52 years time...certainly not on original parts. They also need surprisingly little maintenance and are not too hard to fix, if you have a schematic. Sadly I don't have one for the Funland, which makes fault finding much harder.


This isn't an expensive restoration but a "players machine", I play it and I really enjoy it...a playable antique, almost. I just thought I would share it with you. I know it's not about coffee but I do have other interests.
