Speaking of Sonic Butterfly, this posted recently in the Denver area for $1K:
cosprings.craigslist.org link
OP:
- Absolutely stunning pin with vibrant colors! Very few made and few great ones survived
- Plays and works 100%. Challenging game with strong coils and numerous fun shots.
- Very detailed internal restoration of every internal part. Pictures speak for themselves.
- Complete detailed teardown, cleaning, tuning, fixes and rebuild.
- Original plastics in great condition – no cracks or breaks, except 1 plastic carefully recreated due to “unobtainium” part.
- BEAUTIFUL backglass in MINT condition - stunning!! (If not mint its as close as it gets)
- BEAUTIFUL playfield!! Zero planking with original durable clear coat. These were known to have very nice playfields. Very minor ball trail at playfield top (see pic) and minor shooter wear at ball eject.
- Tasteful leds. Have incandescent bulbs if wanted.
- New rubbers, coil sleeves and replacement parts as needed. Manual copy included.
- Set to free play with easy jumper removal if desired.
- Cabinet does have fade, and some wear spots but presents very well. Replaced removable head panel.
- Sonic brand – Williams parts.
- Smoke free home.
- Will stage in garage for easy breakdown and pickup.
- Serious inquiries only, please.

I'm with the other guys, that machine is in phenomenal condition from what I can see. Would make somebody a very happy purchase.

Quoted from phil-lee:

There was one advertised in craigslist NC I answered. The pics from this one looks the same. After the response I determined it was probably a scam. He said he wouldn't let just anybody have it, they had to prove they really wanted it and would keep it and fix it.

Quoted from cottonm4:

3) Sonic has these great play fields. They are mylar, not clear coat. All of the artwork is part of the mylar. If anybody with a Sonic wants to verify, just disassemble a pop bumper and you will see the mylar gathered up under pop skirt. One mine, none of the inserts had raised or sunk in. It was a nice, flat play field.

Quoted from zacaj:

I thought one of the other european manufacturers used mylar, and it had problems with curling up sometimes and delaminating.

Quoted from too-many-pins:

Not project machines but something that might help people here with one of their projects -- or could become their next project if someone wants to "build a machine" starting with a populated playfield. These are mine but I just don't have a need for any of them at this point.
Four fully (or mostly) populated playfields for sale here on Pinside (in the marketplace) that can be delivered to the York Show or picked up here in Carlisle PA anytime before the show. They include a fully populated LAST ACTION HERO $900 (OBO) /// a fully populated CUE BALL WIZARD $600 (OBO) /// a fully populated ROCK $350 (OBO) /// and a mostly populated GOLD WINGS $350 (OBO)
From memory all four of these are in very nice overall condition. Once I get them "dug out" I'll know more about them but when I put them away about a year ago they all looked pretty nice to me. It will be a week or two before I can get pictures of them if anyone is seriously interest. Parts on these are worth more than my asking price but I hate to part them out because all of them are nice enough to just drop into machines. If they don't sell by the time York Show happens I'll just part them out over the Winter but I really hate to do that with nice playfields.
I have ZERO interest in attempting to ship these so please don't ask!

Quoted from pinostalgia:

I want The Rock and gg,wait no shipping,oh no

Quoted from too-many-pins:

Sadly shipping coast to cost would be crazy expensive anyway. Rock & Gold Wings would likely be the least expensive to ship and easiest to pack. If you are seriously interested I can see what shipping would cost and let you know but I can guarantee you will not like what it is going to cost to ship. My best guess would be over $200 according to my recent research.

Quoted from Daditude:

I have recently bought and had playdields shipped. They were 75 for a single, but it was cheaper to bundle 2 or 3.
There would also potentially be be the option of Dan Scott or Bob Cunningham, which would likely be cheaper if it was along their routes.

Quoted from too-many-pins:

Empty playfields are fairly cheap to ship they only weigh a few pounds. FULLY POPULATED playfields weigh between 60 and 100 pounds and the box needs to be 48"x25"x10" (or bigger). Shipping an empty playfield is much different than shipping a populated playfield. USPS will not even ship a populated playfield (box size is too large and weight is typically too heavy).
Shipping a populated playfield is like shipping a third of a machine. And shipping something that big & that heavy doesn't happen cheap.
If you want to try something try packing a fully populated playfield for safe shipping - it is a ton of fun. I hate even trying to pack them to bring them to a show and doing that I am the only one handling them.

Quoted from cottonm4:

One thing that can be done, if the buyer is willing to pay you for your time, is to strip the heavy parts and the bulky parks from the play field and ship in separate boxes. It would not be much cheaper, and maybe cost more, but it makes things a possibility.
Or you build a wooden box and ship via freight. All depends on how serious the buyer is.
