    Default who do you recommend?

    Hi all, first I want to say Thanks for building a cool community to discuss and learn from. I have been wanting to get a Pachislo for some time, you all have made that a lot easier.. Before I found your site I was all about getting the machine changing the token to coins, adding auto-stop, yada yada, you know. Now I want to keep it just like it comes other than a volume limiter. Thanks!!

    Anyway, NOW is the time to buy, but I don't know who to go through, My play room has an Elvis theme and I would like to add to it although the Elvis machines I see are either too high or look fake, so any suggestion would help there.
    As far as Vendor, I contacted Gaku about his bundle deal, although he doesn't have the machine I want. I may still get his bundle deal for variety and I am looking at the Sinbad, Neo Magic and Rio De Carnival but am waiting on a curent machine list???

    Can anyone recommend a vendor that might have any Elvis related machines?
    Any suggestions and/or options greatly appreciated...
    Thanks in advance...

    I'd contact Stealth Home Amusement www.stealthhomeamusement.com,

    Milt's the only pachi person I'll deal with. He treats his customers great and backs up his products. Not saying other vendors don't but Milt's the only person I've dealt with so I cant say anything about other Vendors. But Gaku also has a lot of recommendations.

    This is true. It also saves me the hassle of damage during shipping. But all in all Milt has always taken care of me as a customer and when the audio did go in one of my machines from him he was right there to replace/fix it without a question.

    LeWood,
    The link to Stealth's Elvis is the only real one. If you see any others they are customs on lesser machines.
    Read through this section on vendors and you will know who to deal with.

    This is my personal opinion, or of the voices in my head, and are not meant to reflect the opinion of this board.

    Thanks for the helpful advice... I guess I will be saving for the Elvis a bit longer. I hope to post about the new additions we finally do decide on. Again, Thanks you all...

    You might also consider Olympia's Twist pachislo. It's not Elvis but it is a music theme with a jukebox look to it.
    Meanwhile, somewhere in Oklahoma.

    Thanks Tulsa for the recommendation, I will check out Olympia's Twist, Sid Thanks for the Welcome, Sid.
    Also look into that "Bonus Jam", I have not heard that one before.
    Does any one know anything about "Hound Dog", good/bad/otherwise?

    WELCOME!

    In addition to Gaku and Milt, a company that I would recommend is Syscom at www.pachislo.com.

    Their packing is great and all machines come with warranties, keys, 500 tokens and small, individual volume controls. They may even have a special where you can get autostop for free.

    I have a pachislo that I got from them and am told that I can move a jumper on the board to disable the autostop.

    I've never bought anything pachi on Ebay, but there may be good vendors there too. If you see something there, jump on here and ask!

    Also, there is an Auction section to PachiTalk that you can check out.

    Okay, Thanks and after emailing Gaku, I will have to try and find a "Hound Dog" elsewhere, he's had alot of trouble with shipping, geez, I wanted one of them... Still trying to pick through the ones at GAK, but I can't even get a Sinbad from him now...ugh..

    No luck on a Twist yet and a darn time trying to find a Dracula machine, yes I have exhausted the vendor list, time to start calling I guess!!!
    Am I being too picky about teh models I want?

    no your not being to picky you just have to wait for the particular model you want to become available is all . vendors are getting shipments all the time and the one you want might just be in the next shipment unless the machine your looking for is a more vintage machine (I.E. Elvis or Marlyn Monroe ) in which case Milt seems to have a better collection of older vintage machines available .I f you want it now you'll probably have to pay to much or be disappointed and have to settle for another model .if not just sit back and relax and wait for the machine to come to you it will eventually . Theres enough machines to go around even the "elusive spinluck" comes around now and then just have to wait your turn in line just like kindergarten is all.

    there is even a 'twist' actual pinball machine. It also is Elvis theme. I wonder if they call it this to avoid copyright issue with the Elvis label?
