This really is a seldom seen machine from the early STERN pinball times. I am not sure if Stern had been on the market with EM games but when NUGENT hit the market, they were a "new-by" - compared to Gottlieb for example. Ted Nugent, the metal and hard rock guitarist was larger than life back in those days. Although i am into Heavy Metal i explored his music decades later. Ted Nugent was by far not that big here in germany than in the states. But who cares if you have such a cool pinball machine in your collection. This was once mine but i sold it to a real metalhead, playing guitar in bands like "Van Damned" for example. He asked me so many times to give it to him that i couldn't stand the "pressure" anymore...
When i was walking around and searching for pinball machine in my very youth i never ever saw a "Nugent" in our local pubs. So it was great to archieve one in 2014.
