1976 "Target Alpha" Gottlieb Pinball Machine

This game was BADLY thrown out of adjustment when the cat got inside it and bent the switches and pulled the wires. Thanks to Mike at Coin-op Connection, it was returned back to full working order. Lots of fun and a really nice 1970's machine! Glass has been removed for video.

Just curious if you have this game set to high tap on the transformer?

[animecrash2]

We no longer have this game but i dont think it was ever set to high tap. Some of the other ones are.

Hi

Great video. I own the same model although it needs some repairs so it was great to see how it should work. I am missing one of the plastics would it be possible to take a photo of it and then I can copy it? Thanks

[animecrash2]

Glad the video helped but I sold this machine this Summer.

Thanks for posting this. I purchased a Target Alpha about a month ago and I'll be finally picking it up this weekend. Seeing this vid and hearing the sounds just got me psyched up a little more to add this game to my collection!

You won't be disappointed. It's a great game. Have fun!

Nice video! My family had this game many years ago. I really miss it a lot. Gottlieb's El Dorado City of Gold had basically the same play field.

damn cats. i like cleopatra and oxo.

and little chief.

and pat hand. and skydiver. 3 games for a quarter, 5 balls per game and 600 points to pop.

i was the coolest kid in town when i learned to just open the backglass instead of just kickin the hell out of the sweet6 spot for free games)

and we used to put ash tray lids under the flipper side legs to gain a GREAT advantage. just get it stuck in the 500 point lane for a few minutes, boom 20 free games.
