What Have I Gotten Myself Into?! 1976 Gottlieb Pioneer. NOT another EM!!

The newest member of the Pinball Shenanigans collection has arrived! 🎉 In this episode, we take a look at my new acquisition: a 1976 Gottlieb Pioneer two-player EM pinball machine. I wasn't able to pick it up myself because I was busy playing three pinball tournaments at Maple Pinball, so once again, my buddy Brent came through and rescued me! 😂 The machine needed to be out of the basement, and as luck would have it, Brent was heading to London the next day so he brought the Pioneer along for the ride. Once we get it set up, it's time to investigate. What condition is it in? Will it power up? Can we get it working? And, perhaps most importantly… what the heck are all these mystery plastic parts?! 🤔 There are definitely some shenanigans along the way as we try to piece together the clues and figure out this machine's mysteries. So come along for the ride as we set up, investigate, troubleshoot, and hopefully bring this classic 1976 Gottlieb Pioneer back to life! 🎯 Machine: 1976 Gottlieb Pioneer 🎮 Type: Two-player Electro-Mechanical (EM) 🔧 Mission: Get it powered up and working! 😂 Shenanigans: Guaranteed
