For your viewing pleasure we have here a 1971 Gottlieb Sheriff pinball machine in action. The two player version of this game was Lawman, which was released the same year.
Sheriff is a moderately fun game with a massive bank of drop targets along the left side and rollover lanes at the right. completing the drop targets when the Special is lit (which lights randomly) scores a replay. Hitting the rollovers when lit adds bonus. Not much else going on. This game can be pretty brutal with the lack a return lane at the left and the possibility of losing the ball when trying to cradle on the right.
Gottlieb's Atlantis has a similar playfield but has more interesting rules pertaining to the drop targets.
Sheriff was designed by Ed Krynski with artwork by Gordon Morison (of course).
