Do you prefer Pachislos or UK Fruit machines?

[Angry_Radish]

I'd be up for getting more info on that.
To make things worse, we just had a worker transfer here from our UK office.
I asked him when he got here if he had any weight restrictions on moving his household here, he said no, and that he didn't even fill the container he was given!
Grrrr.. all I can think of is how many fruit machines I could have fit in there!

[Chrisdice]

if anyone is interested then stricktly non profit i will check out a few cheap pallet/skid shipping companys and see if i can get the right price for shipping but it wont be too cheap because of the packing that will be needed

I'm in !!!!!!!!!!!!

I have another couple years before my company moves me back to the States from the UK. I only have room for one fruit machine now (along with 23 pachis), but they will be moving back 5 or 6 when the time comes. Wish I could take orders but I'm already dreaming of the basement gameroom with a wall of fruit machines.

Also have my eye on german fruit machines that are smaller and hang-on the wall - go to www.ebay.de and search for "spielautomat." Found a seller who will ship to the UK for only 85 euros.

Anyone know any contact in the UK that can get their hands on a Dr. Who fruit machine?
Talked to my co-worker on friday, and he is shipping his old saab to here in wisconsin via container, and has asked if I wanted to place anything in there.
Searched on ebay UK, no luck there :-(

I will ask the dealer that I got my machine off, although I doubt he would have one as they quite old now & rarely come up on e-bay. I will let you know what he says.

I found one for sale at:

Someone who seems to like his bikes.....

Might be worth a punt.

I know you have probably missed out on getting something put on your friends container, but wouldn't you believe it a Doctor Who fruit machine has just gone up for sale on E-Bay. Here is the link :-

Does anyone have any idea of what it would cost to send it to NJ ? Does anyone know of a fruit machine available for sale here in the US ? Thanks, Frank A, Jackson, NJ

In the same space as you can keep one UK fruit you can keep two Pachislos (if you store one underneath) so on storage alone Pachilsos win but you can`t beat your friends helping you save for your summer holidays by donating coins to your fruit machine. I`m getting a set of three Maygay Simpsons ones to complete my games room, thats on top of the five pachislos in use (the four spares stored underneath for rotation, yet to be bought) and my two Pakinchos. Variety is the spice of life and I can see an extension coming on soon to house the ever increasing collection. Got to go to B & Q for one of them wind generators they just started selling to power them all next!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this link should work but it finishes today so be quick

[pinball wizard]

i would be interested in a fruit machine if it could be shipped over here reasonably.

[drcrippen324]

wow well done mike i tryed my sorces and they said i would be hard pushed to find one as it is quite an old one and these were the people that brought the used machines from the arcades

[Mike]

I know, it was a bit of a find - get in there quick Chris!

[drcrippen324]

ok iv looked into this and you are talking aprox £340 uk pounds or $668 us dollers i say aprox as they all varey in weaight so iv gone for the middle of the scale when looking for a price

[grommit]

Always wanted a couple of pinball machines , maybe a Doctor Who, Star Wars,Star Trek, Simpsons ,The Who`s TOMMY, but I just dont have the room or a Wife who understands , so when I saw my first Pachinko I was HOOKED LIKE FISH, its as good as for a hell of a lot less cash and now Im onto pachislos as well so you could say I swing both ways (so to speak) as far as UK fruit machines I have never been a fan , mainly because of the Gambling aspect of UK machines, im not a gambler so I dont get the buzz, I know you may say "yes but pachinkos and pachislos are gambling machines from japan" but I say its the playing against the machine with all the lights , video , and sounds which is the thrill not the monatery gain, so GIVE ME PACHI EVERY TIME DUDE

[hanabi]

I too don't particularly like the Gambling Aspect - but I have a couple of Fruit Machines - and they are fun to play - you have to pit your wits against the Machine to access and progress through the Features..........

I don't see much difference between Fruits and Pachislos really

However, PACHINKO really is a whole new (ball) Game!!!

Pachinko Rocks!

[adam]

I like gambling so for me im afraid the Fruit Machine Wins , I have 2 Fruit Machines, A Quick on the Draw by Vivid and a Monty Python by Barcrest.

I also love the pachislos but the reason I like the Fruit Machines more is because there is more player interaction.

Pachislos do have a big advantage over Fruit Machines though, there small and can go in your bedroom easily unlike the Fruit Machines that are stuck in the garage!

Hi Alston. Where did you pick up your fruit machine here in the US ?
