 1978 Gottlieb's Two Player "Eye of the Tiger" rare electromechanical
version of Gottlieb's huge hit Sinbad. Freshly restored by Pinrescue April
2012 with all new flippers, drop targets, plastics, posts, rubber, lamps,
pop bumpers, shooter, coin entries, playfield glass, locks, hardware and a
new playfield glass. Really nice 100% original cosmetic condition all round.
"Eye of the Tiger" is a classic Gottlieb EM pinball machine with drop
targets. In the late 1970's Gottlieb was purchased by Columbia Pictures and
was licensed to do a pinball machine themed after a movie released in 1977
Ray Harryhausen's epic "Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger". Gottlieb produced
a staggering 12,950 Digital Sinbad's around 950 4 player EM Sinbad's and
only 730 of the two player version, this "Eye of the Tiger" in Pinrescue's
opinion the best looking one and it is by far the most colorful of the
bunch.
During 1977 when this very nice machine was brand new the Sinbad movie ran
up against a world beater in a little movie called "Star Wars" but Columbia
came back later in the year with "Close Encounters of a Third Kind"
Fun features found on "Eye of the Tiger":
- 4 brand new flippers
- 10 brand new drop targets
- 1 new spinner the swords cross when it
spins
- 100,000 over the top scoring

extra balls only for really long games at home.
