1980 Stern Cheetah pinball machine

Here's the classic Stern pinball machine "Cheetah". This is a fantastic game with lots of great shots and excellent sound. The 3 spinners, 3-bank drop target grid and 5-bank drop target sweep shot off the upper flipper make this game extremely fun. The spinners spin forever and the shot up the left lane to the top of the playfield is very challenging and satisfying when achieved.

Cheetah was designed by Harry Williams in 1980 - the year most of my favorite games were released.

This example needs lots of cosmetic restoration on the playfield, but I finally managed to get it working well enough to take a video. Sorry for the sideways angle. I'm sure I'll shoot a better video when the restoration is complete.
