Lucky Hand Wedgehead Pinball Machine By Gottlieb Here's 1 of approximately 600 lucky hand pinball machines made by gottlieb in 1977. Many consider lucky hand to be one of the mots collectible pinball machines made by this or any company. This game rewards the player by means of earning extra balls to keep your game alive, as opposed to winning free games. Don't worry though, the machine comes with the keys so you can play as many games as you want (and it's set for free play anyway)! It's got drpo targets which must be knocked down in a particular sequence in order to earn those extra balls. First the 2 jacks, then the 3 q's, then the full house (3 q's and 2 k's) and then the royal flush (red cards).
After the royal flush is obtained, the red. Will lite and onyl the red targets will reset. Knocking them all down will result in earning an extar ball. Getting the ball thru the 4 rollover lanes up top representing the 4 suits of cards will also lite up 1 of the lanes with a. Getting the ball thru the lit lane (which changes whenever the ball hits the center pop-bumper) also awards an extra ball. There's more to the game than this including a definite strategy to score big points and even the ability to play the game set to award 50,000 points for each.
And have the backglass shwo a score as high as 900,000 points and higher! You can see a score of over 900,000 in 1 of the pictures. This particular machine is in very good condition. It does have some nicks and scratches from being moved around over the past 30 years or so, but it's in better conditoin than most lucky hands you're likely to find. It's in original condition with only a small amount of touchup on the reverse side of the backglass. The backglasses on these games are typically full of paint loss but again, this is as good or better than most. The game works perfectly and has all the proper drop targets and plastics. The plastic on the right triangular bumper over the right flipper is chipped and the long plastic ovre the drop targets is cracked (like most), but not noticeable. The playfield is in great condition with some minor planking (cracks) mostly in the yellow paint. All lights and scoring work correctly and the machine plays great. Tkae a look at the pictures. There are more availbale for the asking and all questions will be answered promptly. If you are local, you can make an appointment with me to see and play in person. This is my last machnie with score reels and now i'm concentrating on the digital machines. The game needs nothing, but a cleaning and wax wouldn't hurt. The rubbers are in good condition but new ones would be better i'm sure. When you get it home, just plug ti in, push the red credit button, and enjoy one of the most collectible pinballs you could own. I do not have the means to pack or wrap the machine so please keep this in mind. I can remove the backbox and the elgs if so desired but that's it. Thanks for looking and good luck! |
