As far as I can tell, Ace High is pretty representative of 1950s Gottlieb pins. I'm not sure if there's a big demand for pinballs from this era though. Older pins like this are "simpler", even more so than the 1970s EMs, with some features left over from the "gambling machine" days that would probably not make some modern players happy (eg gobble holes). I'm not sure if the lack of score reels would muck with any of their leaderboard / goal systems any, as well.Ace High probably in part made the Gottlieb collection because for that was their first collection and they were a little more historical minded (1 pinball from the 50s, 60s, and 90s; 2 pinballs from the 70s and 80s, and even a bonus flipperless pin from the 1930s). From my perspective, though, pinball's real golden age was the 1970s (up to the video game era); if you're gonna do an EM, it's best to focus here.(Jive Time is not a very notable 1970s EM pin; there are plenty to do before that one.)</blockquote>
