1975 Gottlieb EL DORADO pinball machine

Here's a 1975 Gottlieb El Dorado pinball machine in action.

This machine is a drop target lovers dream. Tons of targets to shoot for and dropping them all spots a roving target for special. Easy to understand. Challenging to achieve.

El Dorado has some excellent flow. The two upper flippers are placed at angles that look awkward, but they're actually incredibly functional and fun to shoot with.

The initial plunge to the playfield is unique and pure genius.

Good artwork. Great gameplay. Gottlieb at their finest.

El Dorado was designed by Ed Krynski with artwork by Gordon Morison. It's two player brother is Solar City and the four player version is Target Alpha. All are classics and remain very popular examples of 70's pinball.
