-----Question-----
Rodger,

I have an old 1947 Gottlieb pinball machine called Superliner.   The machine turns on, but needs quite a bit of work.  I am struggling to find a value for it and am interested in selling it.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Marty

Hi Marty,
I am still looking for information on this pinball. Are you sure about the name of this game?
Thank You
Rodger

Answer
Hi Marty,
I am still looking, thank you for the link. I can only find the Gottlieb Humpty Dumpty made in 1947 so far and it's value is at a low of 200.00 to a high for a very nice restored game of $1,500.00, with average value of 750.00 for a working game. At this time I would save that yours would fit in there because of the year, unless they made fewer of them which would make it rarer. They made 6,500 units of the Humpty Dumpty. I'll keep checking on this for you.
Sincerely
Rodger Knutson

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!
