That's a solid state EM? What's the going rate on one of those?

Gottlieb Dragon.
Quoted from V_piscopo:Gottlieb Dragon.
Not really a fan of the art package or artist in general on that one. Got anything in Bally or Williams?

Solid state EM?

Williams Suspense. Hit one of the kick out holes then the spinner with the captive ball must come to rest on bonus. Then the score reels turn. No digital display...

Melody awards 10
Pts per kickout hole plus 10
Pts for each number color lit below it. When all 4 inserts are lit the kick out hole lights up and awards an added ball.
Duotron awards bonus points built up in the captive ball while the ball is in play.

There are many Bally EMs in the silver age with this feature prior to the 1970s. Nip-It does not purely qualify as the playfield bonus is collected at ball drain, as it is added to lighted scoring. One of the earlier games is Capersville (1966), but many bonuses are collectable early such as Dixieland or Dogies (both 1968) or Joust (1969). Certain playfield ruleset conditions MUST be met. I would have to go through the entire list to find them all. I only specialize in Bally games, not Gottlieb or WMS, so there are certainly others.
There is no such animal as a "solid state EM", except in rare cases where you have a pure prototype conversion. It might look or play like an EM or even have components, but if a game operates under the electrical logic of an EM, it is an EM, a game cannot be classified as a SS. The same goes for a SS with ICs but still might have things like rotation score reels controlled by solenoids (or even motors), this is still a SS. This is a separate topic in itself and gets into some technicalities.
A good example would be Fabulous Fantasies (Herb Silvers) King of Diamonds Gottlieb remake. This is a SS, not an EM.
Another would be Stern WNBJM (not Whizbang, as the original was a retheme EM) as this is a "conversion" but also SS.
4 aces Williams.
Ball is stopped by one of the two electromagnets under the playfield and released after bonus points are scored.

Allied Leisure's Boogie. One of the very first SS machines... they simply reproduced every em unit with a board. It looks way more complicated than an em would be. Loudest chimes ever. It's a fun game with drops in the middle of the playfield and outlane ball save gates. I got mine with a spare playfield for 175.
Also it isn't an old white guy theme
Not an EM, but Hotdoggin' (Bally, 1980) has a disappearing kicker lane directly above the right outlane. The top center ("K") lane raises the kicker to collect the bonus when the ball settles into the now-blocked lane, afterwards the kicker retracts sending the ball back up into the bumpers.
Quoted from Doctor6:I seem to remember demolition man letting you do this?
I think that's one of the game's Computer awards (lit every 10 combos - shoot underground just below the center ACMAG ramp).
Quoted from chippe01:Williams Jive Time. The only way to collect the bonus is from the Spinner Awards. I hate this game!
Then, there was Bally giving you 1,000 bonus at the start of the ball. All you had to do is score 10 points and drain = 1,010.
I didn’t see William’s Grand Prix mentioned. So there is one for the EM camp. There is left and right side bonuses and both can be collected on the PF.
Edit: I just saw it in the OP. Reading is indeed hard.
On Shadow you can pull the trigger before draining on mongol to get 3 Million I believe.
On Bride of Pinbot you can have extra ball lit and manipulate which lane is lit before draining (not really sure that counts though)

Don't understand what you're saying here regarding Nip It, because the bonus is collected at drain, or on the release of the Gator ball, and better yet, releasing the Gator ball scores the bonus but does not reset it. If you can keep locking the ball up you can really score some points.

I do stand corrected, I just played my game.
Nip-It does score the accumulated bonus with Ball Gator ball release for repeated scoring.
I was thinking of another of the Ted Zale titles (Gator/Alligator), as it does not all offer this direct feature.
The topic did not state "What other EM's", but the first post did.
Most of the solid state and DMD answers are from people that thought the topic asked the question IMO.
Quoted from CactusJack:Sounds a lot like Fan-Tas-Tic
Speaking of which, Fan-Tas-Tic REQUIRES you to collect bonus before draining, or you get nothing!
Fan-Tas-Tic should win the “weirdest & most random EM” award (also helped by being a middle-pop game).
