did itself no favours along the way to alleviate it. The System 1 was trouble from its inception, and the Gottlieb Co. But where are all the Gottleib System 1s?

Countless are the collectors who have a wide assortment of early Stern games, and I can name a few people in my circle of collectors who pride themselves on having multiple examples of Gottlieb wedgehead EMs amongst their prized pinball possessions. Who among us has a deep appreciation for Gottlieb System 1 games? I mean, a real appreciation.
