Description: Anyone interested in my 1958 Gottlieb Sunshine pinball machine?

"Sunshine" from 1958 with only 1100 produced, it is THE FIRST Gottlieb game with a rating chart (Genius!) with whirling numbers rotating wheel animation in the backbox.

Color scheme used in the backglass is a Roy Parker playfield/backglass and is a woodrail pinball machine.

Comes with all paperwork including the wiring diagrams.

OVERALL a very RARE pinball machine and I just had it serviced, has all new bumpers, field of play cleaned and waxed, etc.

$1250.

 

I'd love it, too bad you are on the other coast. Good luck with the sale!

 

I am looking up quote prices on shipping via (UShip.com) to see what it would cost to go to Cali. Typically not too bad because there are a lot of shippers that have a vacancy within a shipping truck.

I'll let you know what kind of prices they come back at.

 

Be careful w/some shippers on uship. I've had friends who've had arcade cabinets shipped w/some of those companies and they come with massive damage. For a nice table like that, I'd recommend going with a trusted company like NAVL. Best of luck on the sale!

 

Max, thanks, greatly appreciated the advice.

I'm using them to get somewhat of an idea of what shipping may be coast to coast. In general, shipping of this item will fall to the buyer and I am simply trying to help mediate that so they have an idea.

 

Shipping any pinall, but especially 50+ year old pinball is not my idea of a wise choice unless you are going with a real shipper and pay $300-$400. I hope you can find someone close by. As I said before, good luck with the sale!

 

"Real" shipper as opposed to what?

I have moved all around the World and I can assure anyone that the successful shipping of anything all comes down to the preparation of the item itself.

Now obviously if any shipping company is a bunch of idiots, an item will most certainly be damaged. That is why they are bonded and insured and the item WILL be shipped with insurance.

I have had this machine for 11 years and am not about to just ship it via "any means", I want it to go to a good home because I am moving to Italy for several years (3+).

 

Very nice....

 

i dont know anything about pinball...but that thing looks EPIC
