Pinball Manuals?
« on: June 24, 2005, 01:03:32 pm »
I don't know if this is the right forum or not, if not please move it.

I'm looking for Pinball Manuals with shematics and everything.

Anyone know of one?  I know the IPDB has some, but anyone else know a good site?

Thanks,
Allroy

You can try here:

I am not a pin guy, but I think they have about 200 pin manuals.

Cheers.

Post to rec.games.pinball, someone will often send you a PDF copy of a specific manual.

You're not going to find a giant archive or anything, these are still sellable items and copyright owners don't want them all over the place.

I have changed my nickname to "Cakemeister". Please do not PM the Buddabing account because I do not check it anymore.

Please read the wiki!

If it's a Gottlieb game, the Gottlieb family has strict enforcement of their copyrights in the manuals. Virtually all Gottlieb manuals had their copyrights renewed and only the authorized Gottlieb licensees like Pinball Resource and Marco Specialties have Gottlieb manuals and schematics.

Yep, and I need to get one, so it looks like they're going to get $20 of my cash.
