Original purchase price of Pachinko Machines

[compirate]

Did a little research and found a page that lists the prices for machines back to 2002. It's a member site, got a 24 hour key and copied some of the pages. After I have a chance to do a little editing, I'll post them.

Here's a couple (+- a couple of bucks!):

Star Wars originally sold for 259,000Y in Nov of 2004 ($2,270.00)
Cutie Honey was 320,000Y ($2,800)

Lumina frames (empty) go for 40,000Y ($350)
Glass for a Lumina is 4,000Y ($35.00)

OK, here's 2006, 2005,2002.

2003 and 2004 messed up on my system, will have to see if I can recover them. Run the above pages thru your favorite translator. Some of the names, your guess is as good as mine!

Talk about a Win/Win/Win situation.
The companys that pay originally win since the pachinkos that cost thousands brings in billions upon billions in Japan.
The Vendors Make money on Pachinko's as useful as trash in Japan after a couple years sometimes months with their Time allowed laws.
Buy in Bulk, sell cheap,
And finally we Win.

Now hopefully that Korean wont keep testing nukes and risk the stop of foreign goods from the far east countries. i'm watching too much FOX News.

Somehow i dont think they will banning shipments from Japan, no matter what the North Koreans do...

North Korean products maybe.. but the rest of the far east ... NO... unless of course, they wish to create some sort of trade war with China and Japan but thats neither here nor there..

[dishpan]

Does this mean that the new Pachis will be glowing in the dark? (Without being plugged in?)

[Sid]

well if they could lead to a power free pachi...
no need for transformers and nasty plugging in to the wall and all the arguments about on or off... power surges etc...

so what if your hair falls out and junior has 12 fingers and toes

[dishpan]

... and my hair is falling out and now I'm thinking about checking junior's toes ... JK

[Sid]

oh no its started already...
i hope that other members are not affected by this new scourge that has befallen the pachi nation...

[dishpan]

Does it also make your hair turn white and your belly swell up? Make you forget what you were doing? Cause skin to become wrinkled and start to sag? OMG! Where's the Doc when you need him.

[Sid]

looks like there are more side effects, then we initially thought...

[fronzdan]

I'm trying to think what North Korean exports I give a rat's behind about. Do they even export anything besides maybe nuclear technology and arms to terrorists?
