1979 Gottlieb Totem Pinball Machine – Fully Serviced & Game Room Ready
Available now at RefurbishedPinballShop.com
Bring home a piece of pinball history with the 1979 Gottlieb Totem, one of the most iconic System 1 pinball machines from the golden age of arcades. Known for its tribal artwork, challenging layout, and classic Gottlieb mechanics, this machine is a fan favorite among vintage pinball collectors and arcade enthusiasts.
This machine came to us in non-working condition, like most Gottlieb System 1 games of this era due to their notoriously corroded MPU boards. Our team at RefurbishedPinballShop.com replaced the original board with a new high-quality MPU sourced from France, ensuring reliable performance and smooth gameplay.
🛠️ Restoration & Service Highlights
-
New replacement MPU board installed
-
Full topside playfield teardown and rebuild
-
Deep-cleaned and professionally waxed playfield
-
New pop bumper caps, rubbers, and bulbs
-
All features and scoring mechanisms tested and functioning 100%
🎮 Gameplay & Condition
The machine plays great and has been tested during private events in our Joelton, TN showroom since its restoration. It features strong flippers, smooth ball movement, and crisp sound effects.
As expected for a game of its vintage:
-
There is minor artwork loss on the backglass, which still presents well
-
Some normal cosmetic wear is visible, but the game retains a solid overall appearance
