Question I have a Gottlieb Centigrade 37. It says manufactured in 1977. Not in good shape but all pieces appear to be here. Can you give me a ballpark value?
We also have a Gottlieb flipper Bowling Champ, 1949. Not in great shape but cabinet is nice and some parts are missing. Ball park the value?
Tnak you for your time and attention
Answer Hello Wendy
My guess is that a Centigrade 37 parts machine (meaning non working and poor condition) would be about $50 to $100 if you could find a buyer.
As for the "Flipper Bowling Champ", I am not familiar with that machine and can't say.
