1970 Gottlieb's "Flip a Card" Right on, way cool card themed
pinball machine from Gottlieb. Collectable vintage pinball machine
showing hippie college girls relaxing in the dorm. Pictures of lots
of early 1970's dorm room memories like a dial phone, manual
typewriter, acoustic guitar and love posters on the wall. Great
spinning card feature that flashes the card wheel on the playfield
to light up the playing cards in the back box. Sister machine to the
super popular 1969 Spin a Card and 1971 Drop a Card "Flip a Card"
always seems to be the hardest of the 3 to find in good restorable
condition. Many of these classic pinball machines were played down
to the bare wood earning your dimes. In 1970 when this very nice
Flip a Card was brand new you might have been listening to "Spirit
in the Sky" by Norman Greenbaum which made it into the top ten that
year.
Funky 1970's features found on Flip a Card:
- 3 brand new pop bumpers
- 7 brand new bulls eye targets
- Center hole spins to spot playing cards
- 11 rollover lanes to award cards
- Make all the cards lights 3 specials win tons of free games
Light animation on the back box (made cards light up)
- 2 brand new flippers
- End of game match number
This nice 39 year old Flip a Card is freshly rebuilt (Aug 2009)
and plays like a dream come true. Pinrescue installed lots of new
parts and took our time tuning it to play like new. It has a really
nice original cabinet glass and playfield just the way we like to
find them before doing our 30+ hour overhaul.
Pinrescue has safely shipped to nearly every state (inside
insured $400 delivery charge) and proudly offer long term service
contracts local to us in the greater NYC to Washington DC area.
Pinrescue has had the pleasure of restoring several Flip a Cards
over the years but this is the first one we have been able to list
on our website it will sell fast.
