Hey gang.
Probably a **** time of year to sell but a game I’ve been wanting for a while has come available and I need to sell something.

Like many on here I used to dismiss the Gottlieb System 80B games. They looked quirky, didn’t sit right in the line up. Art work was questionable. Then I started playing them. All I can say is, they are damn good fun. If you’re a system 11 fan you’ll love them. Music is awesome. Gameplay is awesome. They’re just awesome.

Bought from Kieth on here last year. See advert.


Also on eBay here:


Contact me for any info. It’s as per Kieth’s listing. Since then I’ve replaced the power supply board from mypinballs. It would occasionally crash due to 5v dropping.
The new board has stabilised that but it does once in a blue moon still do it. It’s happened 3 times total since I got it. The pins on the edge connector should probably be repinned but it doesn’t worry me to reseat the connector so I’ve left it. Something to be aware of though.

New clear ramps
Powder coated lockdown bar, legs and side rails.
New cabinet speaker
Comet LEDs
Custom painted robot by rudedogg
New robot reveal window
Collywobbles plastic protectors
Unfaded translite
Re decaled cabinet

Not so good:
The decals are easily scratched (they were custom made for Kieth and they’re not the best) but it still presents well.

Could do with repinning the 5v connector

This is restored as far as you can with a Gottlieb of this vintage. Playfield is fantastic. Looks amazing, plays amazing.

Located in Ipswich. Welcome to try before you buy or send Martin.
He’s due imminent with an other machine for me.
Plenty of pics on original thread but here are some more showing the decals issues.

Reduced £2200

Great game 👍🏻
 
Alternative view: It is probably the worst and I wonder what I am missing that it's fans see.

It’s an acquired taste ! ….. which also goes for the whole dungeon laboratory fetish scene tbh 😅

It’s brilliant that whenever Genesis comes up in conversation it’s the backbox artwork that is the focus ! It really is a talking point. Gottlieb artwork of that time was always a bit out there but quite how they settled on this for production is I’m sure a great story .
So bizarre it’s brilliant 😁

I would pay money to hear from the 80b art department and their time at gottlieb 😆😆

Bad girls
Hollywood heat
Spring break
Monte carlo
Gold wings
Diamond lady
Excalibur
Genesis

All backgjasses worthy of a story 🤣
 
Oh come on …. Strange Science is ace , the best ‘monkey in a lab ‘ themed pin with absolutely wild sounds 😁 Loading up the particle accelerator or whatever it is for the 5 ball multi is a top pinball moment 😎
Oh I don’t truly disparage Strange Science. The neon light is the best toy I’ve encountered in pinball. I just wouldn’t want to play it in a tournament or compete against a friend at it and that’s pretty central to pinball for me.

Genesis is great competition.
