Team One (Gottlieb 1975)

Scratch-built Gottlieb EM table by mcarter78 with 4K VLM batch, new playfield and plastics scans, using Loserman's script. One of the few EM tables in the VPW catalog.

Build Story

New ground-up build of Team One, a 1975 Gottlieb electromechanical table. mcarter78 handled the VLM toolkit work with new playfield and plastics scans from a real machine. Backglass scans were shared via Google Drive for potential B2S creation. borgdog provided Gottlieb engineering documents including motor switches diagram, schematics, and engineering drawing B-16169.

Table-Specific Details

Mechanisms & Hardware

  • EM script base: Uses Loserman's EM script framework. Updated physics code and parameters, most movables animated, updated knocker sequence, added EM buzz to rollovers.
  • Gottlieb EM documentation: Engineering drawing B-16169 (dated 1/21/75, post-adjustment card), motor switches diagram, and schematic samples represent typical available documentation for 1970s Gottlieb EM machines.

Known Issues

Outstanding items at time of extraction: right flipper normals needed fixing, playfield transparency issue, clear plastic visibility issue, VR cabinet/environment setup needed, credit light hookup needed.
