Addicted?? I think not!!

whybenormal · 02-07-2010, 01:09 AM

I don't have a problem. I can quit any time. Just the fact that 2 more machines are on the way doesn't mean I am addicted. Just cuz I keep looking for that one single shot to add to my collection... Oh fine, I have a problem. I don't have enough room! There I said it! Just incase anyone is wondering, I am waiting on the arrival of a Super Stadium and an American Dream machine. That will make 7 total so far. Will post pics of the new additions when I get them and mount them in their corner.

P.S. anyone know of an inexpensive single shot needing a new home please let me know.

Thanks,

My name is Jeff and I am happily addicted to these alluring machines. I'm still not sure what it is about them, but I feel like a moth attracted to the porch light. I just have to keep hoarding...er...collecting them.

There! My soul has been cleansed and I feel much better! Time to rescue another lost pachi.

Who is next to admit their addiction and be set free?

Microbus99 · 02-07-2010, 04:06 PM

HI, My name is Microbus and I'm a Pachi addict. I cant park my car in my garage anymore. With 35 machines in 3 States I wonder why.

Wife and kid think I'm wierd. Can I hang out here for awhile?

takethecastle57 · 02-08-2010, 09:08 AM

Howdy Folks I am addicted to these Pachinko's . So decieving small Japanese versions of Bagatelle Pinball - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

And i got hooked back in 1976 ,stopped in 1982 then started back up the addiction in 2002 . Being a lifelong Maintenace tech these machines call to me and being single and have my own Apt with no roommate needed or wanted i can enjoy my collection during the proper times ( got to get a home or cottage or cabin so i won't disturb the neighbors) .

I Love Playing, Restoring, Maintaining my Pachi's .

Thoses who grow tired of your Pachinko's let me know and I will take good care of them .

Hello, My name is Bruce. It has been three weeks since my last fish, on my honor, or may I be chopped up and made into soup.
