So I am about to buy my 1st pinball machine, its being delivered to me and will be here in about an hour and a half. It is a SS version of Gottlieb Solar Ride. I think this table is really sweet. It has been fully shopped out with new rubbers, new flippers, new bulbs, new board, new leg levelers and bolts, all displays light up and it is working. I am paying $700 for it + gas money for him to deliver 50 miles. I dont feel this is the cheapest, but I feel that i am not getting hosed either especially if its all sort of brand new. I've talked with him over the phone and discussed it and he says it is a very reliable game (i'm putting a little faith into the seller here)

What do you think?

i think it is a nice buy! if all is new and a new playfield? looks in a great condition.
no fear suits you better, but that should do just fine

buying my first one soon as well!

post pics and videos when you get it!

Great news Sabbat!! Your first game (is probably not going to be your last! ).

Thing is .. I started buying/collecting them because I like to fiddle around, clean them, repair them, just being busy with Pinball!
Once you've fully shopped your first machine you need to get another one to keep you going!

Show us some pics when you got it!

Cheers,
FD.

Relax. It's being delivered, so you'll get to check it out thoroughly before you part cash.

Congratulations Sabbat, to your first own pinball table. My first played pinball was Solar Ride. I love this pinball machine.

[Sabbat]

It came with the manual and all the keys too

Congrats Freddie I know how long and hard you have been wanting this !
We in chat will miss the pinball monk ....lol

Congratulation Freddie! Welcome to the club.

You are now the Real Pinball Monk.

[Osprey101]

Nice find Freddie! Now you too, are a card carrying member!
You wont regret owning it and 700 for an early SS is a fair price. Especially since it has been fully shopped.
I really like the looks of it. You better post a vid so I can hear it also.

Of course, you still have to visit...

[Itchigo]

Congrats Monk!! It's a fair price and especially if it's been shopped.

[Rawd]

It looks great! Now you need to move it upstairs.

Awesome pin.
Thanks for the pics.

Congrats Freddie - definately won't be your last
& $700 sounds like a fair price for what you've got.

No problem getting a fully shopped machine as your 1st one - my 1st was fully shopped, and I was glad of it - certainly learnt enough to start with just fixing stuff that went wrong over time.
Now however, I can fully strip, shop, & rebuild a machine I've never even played before.

Enjoy it - it takes a long time to get over the, "I can't believe I can play this over & over without having to put any money in" feeling

Regards,
Dan.
