IGT made the Marilyn Monroe Pachislo around 2002 along with Elvis

Those look like the ones that LogicProbe had last year. The Ebay Auction that rdkmr1 won

[logicprobe]

They sure do... but not the ones I bought exactly. These are part of what I left behind.

Same place I bought mine, though. My offer for them was better than what they finally got out of them... a LOT better, considering they were all broken.

Guess they thought they would command high prices in ANY shape.

They had a lot of old pachislos at the time, too. Be aware, if you are thinking of buying them (if they still have them) that parts will probably be impossible to get. The same will probably be true for these, unfortunately.

But hopefully, any fixes will be easy. Best of luck, and let us know how you do with them.
Heck... if nothing else, wire up Monroe so that she flashes her plastic nekkidness when you hit a button.

Hey logic was the sellers name Belinda zebr.?

Hey logic was the sellers name Belinda zebr.?

It was definitely the same eBay user... no mistake. Yeah... the last name definitely started with that. First name was slightly different.

As far as my experience with the lady's father (who, I guess owned the machines)... I won't go into details. But somehow he thought junk pachis were worth a lot more than they really are.

I left there with 10 or 12 machines... and the rest weren't worth what they were asking for them AT THAT TIME. But you probably scored a good deal here.

I still have a few of them left, including a Monroe that has a different design on the cell, with roses. The others I may sell some day... or part them out.

There was a MINT Rhapsody pachinko that I sold to a member in Texas, and a Bunnies that went to Arby... one of his "first" pachinkos, as I recall.

These electro-mechanicals are a lot different than today's models, AND a lot different than the 60's-70's vintage flippers you see around eBay. They are nice to fill in a time frame, for a serious collector.

Here's a pic of my Monroe.

A very jewel of a machine

[rdmkr1]

Logic ( no dots this time!) How was your shipping experience from bel.? I value your opinion as to go ahead and getem or blow them off and try to get a refund. Haf ta follow up on old universal so they can delete the whole post off the airwaves and make room for some more good stuff.

[logicprobe]

I picked them up... a five hour drive or so, as I recall.
If I would have had them shipped, I would have needed to pay a LOT more per machine, and probably never would have bought them in the first place... and those were working machines. But they are around 10 years old.

However, there's no way I'm going to suggest that you cancel your commitment to Brenda on the auction, based on my experience. That's between you and her, since you already purchased them. Since the auction said "pickup", I just figured that you were indeed picking them up, and would be seeing the condition for yourself.

[rdmkr1]

Well, my truck driver friend went by to pick em up for me but I later found out she jumped up and went on vacation Im just gonna dootle bug em down to me

[Stingray]

Logicprobe- I have that same Monroe machine. Do you know anything else about it? I'm just curious.

-S

[logicprobe]

Yup... there's a top-heavy plastic girl that drops her drawers and her top flys off, when you're in a bonus round (fever).

Other than that... you probably know as much as I do if you have it.
But since you have it... you probably knew the part about the nekkid plastic.

So I'm not much help with it.

I think it's one of the nicest looking cells... as far as color and art... from that era.

[Stingray]

I think it's just about the coolest pachinko machine I've ever seen. I don't actually have mine in my possesion yet, a friend picked it up from the seller for me (it was local pick up only) and is crating it to ship it to me.

I did know the bit about the "fever show", but that's about all I know. Do you have any idea of the approximate year these were produced?

Edit: also do you know if the OM locks that Arbycoffee sells will fit this machine?

-S

[logicprobe]

The one that I have never had a trasformer installed. But I hooked one up temporarily to check it out. I played it for a couple of days, and showed my wife (who offered to knit the "poor thing" a sweater, since she "looked cold")

Then I cleaned it (didn't need much at all, since it never saw play here in the US), bagged it, and wrapped it. She sits in storage right now... awaiting a day when her value increases, OR there's another machine I'm bored with to swap out space.

As I recall... it was from the early to mid 90's?? Not having it in front of me to look at, it's hard to say. But I'm pretty certain she's at least 10 years old now.

These electromechanical machines are nice to fill in a collection, to place them between vintage 60's / 70's flippers, and the newer reel / video pachinkos. It's interesting to see the development of the technology when you display them chronologically.

As far as the locks??? Sorry... dunno.

Hope that helps somewhat. Good luck with your new girl.

Thanks for the additional info, Logicprobe!

I was looking for something else and found pic of this machine with "bunnies" on the cell. Is this maybe the one the OP was looking for?

I have just acquired a Monroe machine. I'm new to this and love the game, but with a 2 year old eager to play till she flashes, I think I better find this one a more age appropriate home.

Contact me by PM if you are interested.
