Quoted from o-din:It is a very fun and very well built EM machine. If the playfield is nice, and you can get it for a good price, it is a nice addition to any collection.
I'm not educated enough on EMs to even know if it's a good price. I would think that it is in the fair range, I'm guessing I could find examples that have sold for both less and more.
I almost wish I had more of an emotional connection to an EM, but I didn't grow up playing them. I'm really just looking for something to contrast with the other games in my collection. One of the games with the El Dorado layout seems like it would fill that spot nicely. With 15 drop targets that's already a lot of shots that you need to dial in. In general, what would the cost of an El Dorado be compared to a Solar City? I'd prefer and El Dorado, but really don't know the price difference.
This has come up a lot recently, with centerflanks firesales, but the timing just isn't the best. I recently switched jobs, by my own choosing, but I'm working longer hours trying to get established into my new position. We're also in the final stages of finishing our basement. We did most of the work ourselves, but paid someone to do the drywall and carpeting. Despite switching jobs, with the basement remodel, it feels like I'm working more but having less spending money. Can't wait until we finally have this project finished.
