[FSPA] RARE & amazing pinball find

[Roland Joyal]

Hi all, Happy New Year.  I thought I would share an unusual purchase of 5 games (with SUPER High-End restorations done in Ca) described below in super rare condition to start 2020 off as a good pinball year, and will offer them up to FSPA'ers first before going public with higher prices.  As many of you know first hand, especially Bob, Rich, Tony, Steve, that have bought 15-20 games from me, once a couple used (or new discounted game from any manufacturer) are purchased from me, they get on my "repeat customer" list that gets contacted first when I run into good games cheap (usually needing repair but with good play fields & back glasses) ...BUT these are not your typical games I pass along as cheap, so thought I would offer them to the entire group to see if there is any interest. (Email me off line if seriously interested in a particular game to make an offer)  
- King of Diamonds 2010 REMAKE.  This is an ULTRA rare Limited Edition remake as production was limited to 100. (and about half of them sent overseas, so only about 50 in the USA).  This is an authentic licensed game of the famous 1967 King of Diamonds Single Player Wedge head with backglass animation cards.  It is also one of the first to have return lanes for the smaller flippers.  It has solid state technology but has the mechanical sounds/chimes of an EM.  Besides the solid state nature, they took advantage of the technology and turned it into a 4 player game by switching the score reels and cards for each player, so you get the best of both worlds, keeping the goal of a single player game.  They also used super hard play field wood from Russia according to the maker. I purchased 2 of them so would be willing to sell one.  MINT condition, and beautiful chrome coin door.  One still has the wrapping on the side trim. 
- Gottlieb Atlantis 1970's single player wedge head.  Wonderful drop target game.  SUPER high-end restoration.  Game was sent to California for this restoration where no expense was spare.  NOS playfield (where in the heck did they get that?!) swap done.  Cabinet completely restored, stripped down, stenciled, base paint to replicate original, and then multi-color multi-stencil graphics added.  Trim and/or coin door and other things  were removed and chrome plated.  Back glass is even NOS perfect. New play field plastics were made specifically made for this restoration, and owner had to pay for many more sets to meet minimum order to fabricate them.  Owner even went to the trouble of having the 100 point bumper caps made in Green color as green was never made by Gottlieb yet the manual says they were supposed to be green, even though none were mad that way ...so again, owner had them fabricated by the company that does the normal ones, and had to get many done to meet minimum.   Led'd 
- Gottlieb Flying Chariots - 1963 Two-player game, again, sent to Ca and everything applicable done as described above ...yes including NOS playfield and mint backglass.  Led'd  
- Bally 8Ball Deluxe - One of the nicest in existence, if not THE nicest as a result of the owner's effort and expense.  All the above has been done and more ...EXCEPT everything (and i mean just about everything) is brass/gold tone. The ball rail, ball guides, shooter ...even the acorn nuts and screws on the playfield!   Led'd. 
Once another game or two sells from Lost Rhino Brewery I am thinking about putting the King of Diamonds at Lost Rhino for league to play (yes I am crazy for even considering operating a 1 of 100 game, or 1 out of 50 in the USA, so no comments on that please, ha) but the rest are technically for sale to serious inquiries only before going nationwide. Email me offline if seriously interested.  JoyalRJ at aol dot com   -Roland
