Question
hello,could you tell me what a  BIG INDIAN,by gotlieb,is worth?playfield looks to be in excellent shape. thank you

Answer
Hi Chip,

Nice pinball machine!, "Big Indian" was made in 1974, and is a 4 player machine. Gottlieb made 8,030 of these units. Value in average condition is $725.00 and if your play field is as nice as described, I would add about a hundred or two on to this figure because this is one of the most important items for grading a pinball, the play fields and then the glass. I hope this gives you what your looking for here, if not everything, please just write back as my aim it to keep a perfect feedback score here at allexperts, as I want to help you as much as possible to find what you want to know.

Thank You Chip!

Sincerely

Expertise

I am an expert on old coin operated machines, slot machines, trade stimulator's, jukeboxes, old arcade machines, etc. I have been identifying these for people who respond to my web site listed below, for a few years now. In almost all cases I am able to tell them about their old coin operated machines, the year, the value, and other general information about their machines. I do not know much about soda vending machines, coin banks, or scales, but I will try to help you with these if I can.

Experience

I bought my first slot machine, a .50 Cent Mills Black Cherry in 1969 and have been hooked from that time, I still have that Slot machine! Before that I found a open barrel full of old scraped jukebox wall boxes behind a restaurant, I wanted them all but never took a one of them. Anything that took a coin drove me nuts!
