1975 Gold Strike, by Gottlieb, the Add-A-Ball version of Gottliebs' ElDorado. This is a desirable drop target game, sought after by many because of its great game play, and flow. I think this is my favorite EM drop target game for sure.
This machine is definitely not the prettiest example of this game, but with 675 of these machines produced, the time to buy one is when you see one. A fellow collector I traded with for this, had already replaced the back glass, and mechanically, it didn't need much, however, the play field needed some help. Overall, this is now a smooth playing machine, and will get a lot of use in our game room. Below are pictures of the restoration at various stages. and a video of a game in play.
