Late to the party. (Somehow I missed this thread)

Wow! Your first pin. Now, how cool is that. And what a great choice.

I always thought that circus was one of the best looking gottlieb machines. Sounds like a good deal, also. I have never played one in real life(pretty rare to fine one) but I love the layout.

Enjoy the hell out of it.

There will always be a few things to tinker with when you get old machines like this, but it sounds like you have been pretty lucky. Sound problems is very common. It usually is one or more capacitors that needs to be replaced but it could also be the sound rom (not so often)

Here you have a few handy links (just don't go too wild )

I guess that new chair opens up a whole new world for you, Jeff. Time to go wild  

I am really happy for you, dude!
