Dude, for real. C'mon, TopMoose, bring it to the Midwest.

PAPA owns one. A Pinsider on the east coast owns one. One for sale in L.A. That's a count 3. No production numbers. It looks super clean. Not perfect but super clean. I do not see any back glass flaking. Play field has one hickey at the tip of the left flipper.

You should follow the advise of the others and go for this. It has to be worth $500.00. Assuming it would cost you $900.00 the worst that could happen is that you could be in it for $400.00 too much if you had to sell. Do you think it would give you $400.00 of play time value if you owned it?

It sounds like the widow's husband died many years ago and she is finally to the point she can let it go.

If "Fairy was the one that charmed me the most and I absolutely fell in love with it. " I would not think twice about pulling the trigger.

OP via Messenger: "Pinball machine works stick some time and stays on ball 1 but has all original wire and info in side. 300 or best offer"

I found mention of a pinball machine buried in an old garage sale listing and verified she still has it. Looks like it doesn't have an original lockdown bar. I'm not interested in this theme, so I told her I'd pass the info along to you folks! If you have trouble getting in touch with her via PM, let me know, as I already have an open PM conversation going with her -- I can pass along a heads-up or send her your contact info.

From what I was told by other CC collectors a non working CC machine is worth $100.00 to $200.00. With that lockdown bar I would say more on the $100.00 side. They do command a lower price too.

Looks like the backglass is flaking badly at the bottom. No lockdown, that's a $50 game at best.

CactusJack I agree on the BG but it does have that old fashioned (stick-wood) lockdown. Most of the CC I see are in good condition for the age to the other manufacturers for the year. I guess they were not played as much as the more popular pins of that era.

By the way I also see more sellers trying to push the value on these pins. Which is so wrong IMO.

OP: a used bally supersonic pinball game . a partly working machine .cpu fires up and game plays .coils work ,displays work ,very good, backglass, playfield , good but not perfect ,if you never played this game its a great players machine .game plays as it should, but sound is not right .this is being sold as a project machine .pictures are part of the description .local pick up only .playfield glass and legs included .

Bids on this one are likely to go through the roof.

Actually, they probably were played just about as much. When the Bowling alley got Blue Max (Red Baron), we played the sh!t out of it when it was new. They just might not have had any staying power. I am pretty sure they were sold for less than any G, B, or W title of the same time (and built a lot cheaper too). But mechanically, they got beat to hell. I have worked on some of them over the years and they are just garbage in that early 70's era. The older 60's titles were actually a world of difference. They resembled a Gottlieb machine inside and held up well. They just don't have much going for them in either the feature or art department.

Hollywood was probably one of their best earners. And therefore, they pop up a lot but are usually badly weathered. The problem is, even if you find a nice example, you will be hard pressed to sell it for anything over $250. Just ask Tom Raider. Just before he went to move and "thin the herd" he put a few CC titles up on CL. His price just kept dropping and dropping and I don't know if he was ever able to actually sell any of them.

Yes it is. I'm not interested in the Black Knight

Am I the only one thinking that the cabinet was stripped to reduce weight? Those eye bolts aren't holding the weight of a full machine, even if some was distributed to the back. But hey, those shoes look nice...and dusty.

The ad for the Night Moves is misleading, the non-collector owner said it NEVER WORKED and was bought as a project.
Implication was boards had damage, expect to spend $500 on all new repro boards.

Both Black Knight and Pinbot have been removed from Craigslist. Did anyone here get them? I'm bummed I missed a BK in my "back yard". Then again I was two hours into it when I saw the ads.

The seller never reached out to me.......Bummer I wanted Pinbot. I enjoy repair pins.

I had emailed on both pins that I could come today with cash and he never responded to me either.

This is the same game layout and rules as Abra Ca Dabra but with a soccer theme. If this was an Abra Ca Dabra in this condition it would probably sell for $2,000.

For someone willing to put a little effort into it, a great deal and a great time to be had! He will deliver anywhere in central KY and maybe parts of northern AL if paid full asking price. All pieces and keys are included; the glass for the play surface and score board are not cracked or broken. Cross posted.

OP: For sale is a Gottlieb Circus pinball machine. It is being listed AS-IS, because it has modifications to the boards which were done at some point that have since failed. The playfield is in very nice shape. No broken plastics and very little wear on the playfield (See pics, the playfield is nice). The cabinet looks to have been damaged and repaired. The machine is structurally sound, but the repair job was poor and I am not sure how it will last. The lockdown bar assembly will disengage, but I can’t remove the lockdown bar because of the repair job to the cab. The backglass has some flaking, but it appears to have been sealed. See pics of boards for condition. Legs are present.

Asking $650, make me a reasonable offer. Located in Alpharetta, GA. Feel free to shoot me a message with any questions

OP: This pinball is a project. It works just no sound. The pinball will boot up and kick a ball out. The game will play as stated but still needs work. It needs a good cleaning, new rubber, lights changed. The playfield is very dirty. The playfield itself is in good shape for its age. The backglass has some flaking. There is rust around the coin door and under the lock down bar. There is rust also at the top of the playfield where these is metal. It can be a good pinball with a little work and elbow grease. As stated there is NO SOUND and we believe its on the sound board underneath the playfield.

Keep in mind this is a project. This pinball WILL NEED CLEANING!!! It needs a lot of work.
