Description
1962 “Tropic Isle” single player electro mechanical pinball by D. Gottlieb & Co.

The game has a very attractive and popular tropical Hawaiian theme on the playfield and back glass. The cabinet paint is worn, scuffed, and chipped. The playfield is in good condition for its age, showing some wear but retaining bright colors. The original back glass has significant cracking, flaking, and paint loss. The cabinet is in VG condition on metal legs. There is no coin mech installed on this machine,it is on free play. Plays and scores well. Measures 51″ long, 22.5″ wide, 69″ tall.
Circa 1940’s cast aluminum carousel horse most likely from a San Antonio Roller Works or a Mangles carousel.

Comes mounted on a pole and a steel diamond plate base. Comes with a pair of stirrups but no straps or bridle. NOTE: Pickup/Transport required. Contacts available post-auction.
