A 70's wedgehead billiard classic... SURE SHOT!
1976 Gottlieb

Rack 'em up with... SURE SHOT!  This game was produced in 1976 by Gottlieb, creator of the most popular mechanical pinball machines on the planet! Sure Shot is one of the last great single-player "wedgehead" style machines ever created by Gottlieb.  Shortly after 1976, Gottlieb and all other pinball manufacturers started switching over to digital technology, forever changing the sights, sounds and gameplay of pinball machines as we knew them.  This game was incredibly popular when new due to the classic Gottlieb target and rollover style gameplay along with the ever-popular billiard theme.  This game was created when Gottlieb was the king of the arcades, bowling alleys and corner stores.  No one could hold a candle to a Gottlieb mechanical pinball machine... they were simply the king of the hill!  Sure Shot was one of Gottlieb's greatest single player machines of all time and is generally close to the top of any mechanical pinball machine collectors favorite game lists.  Anyone that played pinball machines in the 70's has usually seen and played Sure Shot, making it a truly timeless classic.

You'll love the old-fashioned chime box sounds that take you back to a simpler time in all of our lives.  A time when pinball was the king of the boardwalk... a time before those confounded digital video games came about!  This game has many of the classic features that made Gottlieb great.  Everyone understands the game of billiards... sink as many balls as you can and get the most points.  Easy to understand but difficult to master!  The main features on this game are the rollover lanes and spot targets.  The rollovers and targets are not only used to score immediate points, but for every ball you sink in the rack at center field, you'll get bonus points awarded at the end of every subsequent ball.  Sink certain ball combinations and watch the pop-bumpers start to light up for a whopping 1,000 points per hit!  Sink all of the balls and watch the SPECIALS light up at the top center and left and right kickout holes!  All of the classic elements like the pop-bumpers, slingshots, rollovers and spot-targets give this playfield a classic playing vintage feel that will keep you entertained and challenged for hours at a time. Most pinball enthusiasts agree that Gottlieb made the best playing single-level playfield designs and this game is one of the very best. The classic and family-friendly theme goes great in any home gameroom!

An absolutely BEAUTIFUL example of this title!  The playfield on this game is in fabulous condition with the original factory clear coat intact and shining like glass. The playfield artwork plastics are in fabulous condition with no chipped or cracked pieces.  The targets, lane guides, posts, flippers and pop-bumpers are also in excellent condition.  The screen-painted backglass is a GORGEOUS ORIGINAL and not a reproduction piece!  The cabinet is in outstanding condition, mostly original paint with minor blemishes which have been touched up.  The chrome legs, stainless-steel coin door and side rails have been polished and new levelers and locks have been installed!  See below for the full list of what has been done to this game.  This game plays lightning fast just like it did in 1976!
