Very cool pachinko in cabinet

[cwstnsko]

I haven't played with Live Auctions before, so the whole thing makes me nervous, but this looks very cool

Here's the auction

If this was local and I was able to go in person, I'd be in trouble

Nice looking machine, I like the pre-auction estimate $100-$1000.
Another auction where the seller has no idea what they have or how it works

[slotter]

That is very nice. Be interesting to see if someone really picks up a deal here.

[MrGneiss]

I've been watching this one and will probably try for it since if I win I can pick it up.

I also think this and the pachislos that are up also might be gwarzin's, which makes me want it even more, try and keep it in the PachiTalk family and all!

That would be great, Mr. G! Keeping fingers crossed here for you.

[MrGneiss]

Woo Hoo, I won!!!

$171.50 after fees!

Now I hope I can get it home.

Congrats, nice looking pachinko

[luckydog]

The ball feeder alone is almost worth that price, great deal and local pickup I hope

[slotter]

Wow! That's super. Good price for all that, too! Get the truck out and head on over. Be looking forward to a report on it!

[MrGneiss]

I will definitely report back, unless I drop it on the highway on the way home, in which case I will never mention it again!

[Sid]

lets hope it doesnt come to that.. after all hundreds of pachinko balls on the Highway could not be a good thing.. though it would be intresting to see..

[MrGneiss]

I got it home, safe and sound!
After Garfield this was my most wanted pachinko. I'm really glad I got it.

It is Gary's and he did an awesome job at making this cabinet!

Due to computer problems I can't get my pics up right now, but when I can I will start a new thread in the pachinko section.

Here's the auction pics.

Very Cool Stuff Stuey!!
good for you for keeping it in the family..

[MrGneiss]

[slotter]

Super!!!!! Great that Gary's machine lives on in Pachiland. Am looking forward to more pics!

[johntofva]

It is wonderful that his machines live on here. And it is also great that it found a loving home.

[cwstnsko]

What about the rest of his pachis? Did you rescue all of them? That would have been the TRUE spirit of Pachitalk

[websherpa]

When I started my interest in pachislos, I was reading with great interest Gary's postings here and in his website, then unexpectedly the notice of Gary's passing and an estate sale notice went out, I offered to host his great postings and information on pachislots and his collection in memorium on my server, but got no response from those in charge of the sale.

It's a shame, he had a great online resource set up , I've misplaced the URL now but I wonder if it's still set up?

Yeah, if you're a millionaire. Gary had a LOT of machines. LOL!

[minnesotabrad]

I think these were a few of the left over machines. I believe most Gary's machines were sold quickly. I was able to win one of the machines at the live ebay auction.
