@HaikuAutomation Yeah it does. Although giving the machine a hard nudge as it ejects the ball can save it sometimes. It just needs a slight adjustment made to kick it to the flipper. I have complained to the owner about this some time ago. Dont know if he has fixed it yet. You reading this Tony? lol
@rod7178 I bet the owner loves that the kicker is dumping the ball. Make for better money, but I wouldn't play the game with that setup like that... Tony, you listening? Get that kicker fixed!
Wow my favourite as a Kid it was 70,000 for a replay and I got a million one day I luved getting the 3 lantern bonus , I'm gonna buy one of these oneday that and the Gottlied Pro Football they were two of the most popular in Australia in the 70's
@vwrule Wow!. Congrats!. Thats a really great outcome. OK, the numbers up the top are for the "Match" feature. At the end of the game one of the numbers will light up randomly, and if it matches the last 2 digits of your score, you win a free game. Kind of useless in the home setting. But still cool :)
Man, I can remember playing this machine like it was yesterday.
Actually, it was. It was a favorite of mine as a teenager. There was one at an arcade in Seattle and another near KC. And I bought a nice one a few years ago and play it now and then. Mine's not as nice as this one. It's a lightly refurbed survivor rather than the restoration this one appears to be.
@KimmiKat The games are located at a collectors place not far from me here in Australia. It's a nice collection of around 30 machines from 1950's woodrails, 1960's Gottlieb Wedgeheads, and some 1970's classics like Bally Fireball, Wizard, Capt Fantastic etc.
I remember playing Klondike, but I think it was a different machine, with targets you could knock down in combination to get bonuses or extra balls and stuff. Also remember the flippers having "side lanes" for lack of a better word.
@PeeteyP what I remember of Klondike it was pre-knock down targets, but it had ... and it's hard to make out in this footage ... targets at the top which you had to get to build up your bonus ... haven't seen or played this game since 1978-ish ... was/is one of my all time favourites!
@maxpkelly1 Me and my brother used to hang out at a convienience store playing Klondike all day- it was the one game I had "wired"- we could drop one quarter and play all day.
@PeeteyP lol I had a Klondike around the corner from where I was at school, used to spend my lunchtimes there playing ... was always late back for class afterwards ... addictive ... just slightly
@maxpkelly1 The poker wheel had HATS PANS LANTERN and WAGONS they would all give you different bonuses , you could get from the center hole and other areas like the left and right lane where the ball comes into play, this one was my favorite The 3 lanterns gave you 2 extra balls and 5000 bonus Three wagons gave you a replay etc
Front legs aren't level! (crank up left flipper hand side)

BTW, don't know if others realize this but Klondike was featured in at least one Happy Days episode.

That sucks the kick hole dumps the ball directly down the center of the flippers.

@rod7178 I picked up the back glass, its an NOS piece! Johns Jukes was only 50km away from my place. Thanks again!
One Quick question. What are the numbers at the top of the back glass for? They go from 10 to 90 and only light up when the game is over.
