Solar City (Prototype)

Solar City is a solid-state (SS) prototype from D. Gottlieb & Company that never went into production. Because it exists only as a prototype, very little concrete information has survived - the exact year of development, designer, and theme details are not documented in available records.

Gottlieb was among the manufacturers that transitioned from electro-mechanical to solid-state pinball technology in the late 1970s and into the 1980s, but without a confirmed date for Solar City, it isn't possible to say precisely where the prototype fits within that transition or how early an SS effort it represents.

For collectors and historians, Solar City stands as one of the many undocumented prototypes that never reached the public - a reminder that pinball history includes numerous unreleased projects whose stories remain incomplete.
