Well, they said it was 46 years old. That would be 1972. Which would be the coin operated version. Guess they misremembered.

Game/Type: Solar City / EM 2 Players
Year: February 1977
Cost: $800
Location: Polk City, IA
Link/Contact: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/1977-gottlieb-solar-city-pinball-machine or desmoines.craigslist.org link

OP: Absolutely beautiful Solar City pinball machine. It flows silky smooth as the playfield has been clear coated with automotive clear coat using a gravity flow air gun. As a result, the playfield has a tough finish and the graphics are in amazing condition. The back glass is brand new and flawless. The cabinet is in very good shape -- the paint only has minor marks here and there. New rubbers and waxed well. Schematics and manual are included.

Everything works as it should except it currently starts every game in 2 player. We could have adjusted this, but we always play multiplayer so we never felt the need to address it. We will not be entertaining unreasonable offers as we really enjoy this game and are tempted to keep in our collection. We are only selling to save some space. Asking $800 cash.

Me: Looks like there are a few Midwesterners with this on the wish-list. Paging @BEATNIK-FILMSTAR, @DECIMAL, @MATADORMAN, @EVILSQUATCH, @N0POT, and @POKERJAKE.

OP:Original Pinball Machine that looks fairly complete, nice back glass to boot. This was purchased from a production company a few weeks ago and is being offered at the Gold Rush for the first time....great deal on a desirable project machine. Fully restored one available on the bay for $4200, Booth 001 at the show on the corner of 4th Street and Minnesota Ave. Pictures will be posted once the truck is unloaded, or just come on out

Me: Center playfield wear and someone decided it needed a paint job. Gold Rush is some big antique sale that happens every year (Thanks, Google!)

Painted by the shooter rod as well. I'd be surprised if they took the legs off (Wait, the legs come off!)

I love the coin slot for S.B.A Dollar.

OP: As title says this is not working is a project. The cabinet and playfield are very nice on this there is no wear on playfield or broken plastics and the machine is complete. The mpu is locked up on it and I don't have any experience with this brand. The soundboard is working and the powersupply and driverboard. The backglass is broken as shown but repros are available I can send links to buyer and replacement mpu are available also.

My question would be about using an alias on Facebook. Might be rules against that.

Sounds like fun.

I got this back from the seller.

Hi , so I’m not really sure how we would check inside it. All I know is judging by how heavy it is , there must be something!

Well, looks like the parts are still in there for that Sinbad.

This one is Michigan, not Wisconsin. Might make a difference for some folks that are interested.

All their stuff looks brand new. Even their 90's board games and VHS tapes look pretty good. Candyland has seen better days...

Pretty sure that is mrbanjo here on Pinside.

OP: Have a ton of projects so I thought I would offer this up. Playfield will clean up nicely,scoop wear will hide under a cliffy. Have not gone through this extensively, but from what I have seen dmd is good, sound works, coils fire although high power feel a bit weak, lamp matrix works, switch matrix works although I did not go through everything, temple leds work. Will obviously need shopped. Not interested in any other trades except those listed.

I contacted the seller last week and never got a response. I assumed the game was long gone.

Wrong thread? Perhaps this one: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/more-craigslist-laughs

Gone already.

Facebook Marketplace for me has been borked for me for at least a month. Can't get it to show new things, only recommended order, which is useless.

It's the program. If set to recommended, everything shows up but sorting through it is a pain. If I switch to newest, every listing disappears. I have to use the Find function of my browser and type in "Minutes" or "Hours" to find the latest listings. First world problems for sure.

I went through the photos and all I could think was, "Designer sunglasses are the worst. Fugly and expensive."

Not a single photo of the playfield and they state it has been in storage for 4 years. Could be interesting either way.

Just down the road from me but seller isn't interested in splitting the lot. It's open for offers, though. Maybe one of you crazy kids wants to take them all off his hands? I'll take an EK as a finders fee.

If you do the math, you certainly come out on the short end of the stick. I had hoped he'd split but no dice. I certainly didn't think anyone here would offer to buy it at his price.

Gone Now.

Fremont, OH
Looks like we've got ourselves an auction. So much for Need Gone ASAP.

OP: Pinball machine, good condition. Something needs fixed in it, don’t know what exactly but I’ve been told it’s nothing major. Need gone ASAP, best offer gets it.

I noticed Facebook has changed search parameters (at least on Desktop). I can now put a 500 mile radius on my search. It's going to make searching easier but probably make me feel like I'm missing out on more good deals.

Firstly, Facebook limit is 500, not necessarily my limit. Second, I already own a Space Shuttle. Thirdly, good luck. Let us know if it turns into an auction situation and I'll remove the listing.

I should bump this comment and let it be known that 500 miles range came in useful. I’ve now completed my furthest ever pinball buy. 7.5 hours in the car to pick it up. I’m finishing the journey home tomorrow after stopping to hang with relatives a few hours down the road.

Gone.

Meteor.
South of St. Louis.

There is not currently an F-14 hardtop. Frontier, Future Spa and Firepower, yes.

It wasn't. He still had the backglass and the displays. He turned it into some wall art. He threw out all the boards and said the transformer was toast.

I could use the cabinet but it sounds like it is modded.

Maybe you get lucky and the transformer is still sitting inside.

That’s is @brenna98. Good dude. Works for American.

Pinball is all about spelling, so I would guess Big Hit.

Those are both here in the Marketplace. Fast Draw is showing as Pending on Facebook from the same seller.

Anyone closer, feel free to buy mine instead. Of course, the Pinball Enthusiasts on Facebook said it’s only worth a grand, tops.

He had at least 5 people interested when he went dark on my messages.

Now you can buy it for $1400.

It’s only across town for me and I had the same thoughts. That and I don’t have 11k lying around in cash these days.

Does the project have a price? I’m not afraid to make connectors. I’ve done it twice now. Swords and Addams.

You guys really want us to buy that Casanova. Not sure I agree with the seller in this market.

A good shop job, and triple your investment, or play it and enjoy it.

Probably why it's best to share the info like ManbearpigOG did. You can see the posters name and search it on FB and get to his ad in the marketplace and other public groups.

There's an inactive member real close to your location that hasn't been on the site since 2015. Maybe he still has that Pinbot and wants to sell it to you at 2015 prices.
