Lord of the Rings Pichinko thoughts and best place to buy one

[Youngjedi]

The topper is just a box I built...the graphic is a picture I found on google while searching for LOTR Wallpaper.

looks like a dice box.

Thanks for taking the time to put a picture on the site. I am wanting to put my pachinko's in cabinets on the wall, but living in the UK nobody seems to do any good cabinets.

[nwojedi]

Well, I broke down and bought my first pachinko. Found a lord of the rings for 278 (shipped). I think that was a fair price. I"m not sure since it's not my usual market. can't wait for it to get here. Had to get one on ebay, cuz everyone else was out or didnt' carry LOTR's.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Pachinko!

[nwojedi]

lets hope it's not as much of a PIA as the world of pachislo. Of course my first one has to be some custom circuit job that doesn't work Damn the man.

I like his slogan, "Pinball with Attitude".....

[drcrippen324]

is there any other way to describe pachinko

[nwojedi]

here we go with the pinball references again. We'll when mine shows up. I'll give my full review on how these compare to real pinball.

now that it's here. If you have the handle all the way to the right. Should to shooter, fairly consistantly shoot the balls over to the right side of the playfield? As it stands now, I get about 5% that actually make it to the right side of the machine. Or is that just the way it is on this particular machine?

[Youngjedi]

With my LOTR, I can find a point on the dial where I can shoot the ball to the right almost 100 % of the time...However, It may be my pins are set a llittle wider than yours....CHECK the forum here on how to adjust the pins for better odds.


Youngjedi

P.S. Sending a ball to the right of the machine doesn't help much...The odds of it getting a good bounce at the end to send it into the start pocket is high.

[MrGneiss]

Are you saying that the balls aren't shooting hard enough to make it to the right side?

If so, I believe there's a way to adjust that.

[Youngjedi]

No, I can get a ball to the right side no problem...the path of the pins doesn't really help with getting a ball through the start pocket...I will sometimes play this feature just to give myself the extra advantage of getting a ball through the normal pay off hole.

Cheers,

Youngjedi



Never limit yourself to the left side of the game...There are advantages to playing the right side...EXCEPT for Star Wars.

[MrGneiss]

Sorry, I was actually asking nwojedi.

[Youngjedi]

Oops...Too many Jedi

[MrGneiss]

There can never be to many Jedi!

[Youngjedi]

Tomorrow morning(oops, it's already tomorraow, which would make it today) I begin the cabinet for the SW Pachinko....WEEE!


On that note, I'm going to bed.

P.S If anyone wants to play some serious Halo, Battlefront, or Tribes via Pc internet, Let me know!

[nwojedi]

so it's pin setup that determines the right side? I've noticed more and more going down the right side. But there is no way I can get 100% to go there.
