This machine hit the market in early 1975. Believe me or not: Criterium 75 was the one and only pinball machine which i didn't brought back to life a few years ago. This here is my second try on the second "Criterium 75" someone brought to me in may 2023 to give it a repair. As i always say since my first experience with Recel pinball machines: you only have to look at them and literally the soldering points are popping of EVERYWHERE. This can drive you crazy and this is a very big problem to fix this machine. So i gave it a second try - and did it! Now that the machine is running fine so far i have to say that his pinball from spain (based on Gottlieb Pinball technology) is a cool looker in a way - but gameplay is only average and (in my opinion) to easy for an advanced player. This is a pinball game which fits really good in a wider and bigger collection - but definitely not as a single game for a longer time. Greetins from germany.
