Quoted from Pecos:

Manufacturer: Williams
Game/Type: Fan-Tas-Tic / EM 4 Player
Month/Year: September, 1972
Production: 5,680
Cost: $487
Location: Eaton Rapids (Lansing), MI
Link/Contact: " target="_blank">lansing.craigslist.org link
Condition: OP: "Original graphics on case, play area in great shape, back glass artwork flaking very slightly. Everything works as far as I can tell. "

I'm considering looking at this unit, it's in the next town over from me. Found this thread when trying to find info on it. So I signed up for the site and started lurking lol I'm a complete beginner with pins outside of the hours spent playing them in my youth. Not sure if I should go for an EM as my first machine, assuming the price is fair.

Quoted from NicoVolta:

Nothing wrong with an EM as your first game. Actually, I think they're easier to start with all things considered. However, you'll have 16 score reels to disassemble and clean vs. a single player game. But hey, all EM's take time to go through anyway... so if you're meticulous and mechanically inclined... go for it!
Fan-Tas-Tic is a good game -and hey- middle-pop alert! This is one of only three pins with 3" flippers and a middle-pop bumper between them. I think everyone should have at least one middle-pop game in their collection. They're really cool and the layout is different enough to teach you new flipping skills.

Thanks for the feed back. I think I have the wife sold on this one(she like the 80s-current ones most) and have an email in to go look at it. Watched a couple repair videos seems pretty straight forward.

Quoted from pinzrfun:

I just picked up a Fan Tas Tic myself, fun game. $200 on Craigslist. Game lit up but wasnt working, no keys. Simple fixes. It worked 10 minutes after getting it home.

Awesome another Fan-Tas-Tic in MI. Didn't see that one pop up on CL where was it at?

As bad as I want this I know I can't make it out there before it's snagged. Sharing so hopefully a fellow pinsider can give it a good home. Then I can beg to buy it later

Quoted from Otaku:

You'd be surprised, that title sits for a while. I wouldn't pay that for it, not sure if others would. Certainly not a "get up and go" deal either, if anything it's retail. There was one for $250 that sat around here for a while on CL. If you actually could get up there I'd say you have like 2 or 3 weeks to do so.

Most things in the Detroit area seem to go pretty quick. But I'll have to keep an eye on it. Kinda stuck right now as I have to rent a van to go get it so add $80 to the price. (truck needs some front end work) Thought it would be cool to have next to my Fan-Tas-Tic with the center spinner and all.
