    Default Pics from trip to Gaku's

    Here they are:

    Da Truck

    Showroom

    Stacks of machines

    They were a little low on machines while I was there (business is good!). Each pallet has 7 machines.
    I think this is the first a 3 containers. A little over 400 machines and 300+ boxes. Those trays are full of tokens and in the picture in the warehouse of the tall stacks of tokens, the boxes behind them are tokens too!
    Supposed to be some Olympias in the next one. That Race Queen in the pic has been sold - to me! Hope it plays the same as the SWF game.

    Enjoy! (I did!)

    No, mostly restocking his supply.
    Those machines in picture machine3 and warehouse5 are the latest, most popular in Japan. They were the cleanest, sharpest looking things coming out of that container. 4 different belly designs. All Japanese though. Think I might pick up a few the next time through, keep a couple in the truck to sell!

    Thanks for taking all the pics, It was fun seeing a container unloaded and Gaku's warehouse.

    I saw some pachinkos in one of the truck pictures

    Oh come on!!! (whats the white one?)
    What a lame excuse to post the pic with the machine that you( were really worshiping..)
    The one and only ,or should I say one of many supreme variations of... GOD!!

    LuckyDog can you believe these guys? For stepping up to praise your GOD you are now Saint Pachi

    I just had the time to really look at the wonderful pics. I am amazed that the machines survive the long trip and all of the handeling that they go through much less the final packing and shipping! Did you notice how they are packed in the truck? How the door faces are not torn off is a miracle. I transport the worlds most valuable art for a living so I know about transporting and object moving. I also noticed that it seems to have rained on the machines during the receiving process. This is probably common during shipment. Yet they still work what little marvels they are. Compirate are you sure you took the GOD pic for me? LOL Thanks once again for the fun pics and sharing the business end of Pachislos with us.

    I think it's Shake. I only remember that the pachinkos on the bottom were Fever Queens.
