i would look at teh woody wood pecker or pink panther but unles you are a die hard fan stay away from bruce lee

[hanabi]

Hmmmmmmmm

Well I don't actually own any from that list - so I am not going to be a big help!

Have you tried looking in the Museum and the Journals?

You will find lots of Info and Videos etc, which might help you to make up your mind.........

Obviously, if you have a liking for a particular Theme or Character that would also sway you ........

But even if you just get one for now - It won't be lonely for long......

Looks like you answered your own question to me.

[Tulsa]

I agree with Lddrizzt. If you're already swaying one way or another, you're going to be happiest with that machine.

I would go for Hokuto no Ken for the gameplay but that's just me...

Well, It has arrived but the glass had been smashed in transit It was the inner glass that had smashed so opened it up, cleaned all the glass out and swapped it for the outer glass (if that makes sense) so at least I could play it.

Very confused with it and am quite dissapointed, not had anything spectacular happen, must have put through 1000's of balls and only got a few into the central pocket and haven't had any balls go anywhere near any of the other pockets.

There are a few buttons on the front of the machine that I don’t know what they do, a big red one on the left and a small black one below it. There is also a 3 digit display and two buttons on the bottom right but I think they are something to do with a card reader, is that correct?

Left it at at work where it was sent incase they want the whole machine back so will play it some more while I am there all day and night tomorrow!

Cheers

Chris

you will probably find it easyer to get another peave of glass cut or even better get a peace of plexi glass cut as it makes it quieter to play but if you go for glass its just picture glass you use nothing special cost you about £4/£7 (it sounds like a stray ball was left in the machien after testing it is easily done for the inner glass to break) the buttons and display are for parlour use and the red button is a chance / action button and isnt used on pink panther or thunderbirds but is used on another game in the same case

dont expect anything spectacula to happen streaight away just play and enjoy then it will creep up on you the idea of the game is to get as many balls in the center pocket as posible to start teh reels as often as posible ot make a win more probeble

Also have you read through the first section on the main page at the top titled "So You're New To Pachis" It goes over alot of the basics, and will answer alot of questions if you are new to Pachinkos.

Sounds like you may need to adjust the nails to hit those pockets, you will find that most likely a ball will barely fit between them if at all.

[hanabi]

Congratulations Thudspud on your new Toy!

If you have put through 1,000's of balls and no joy - then it does sound as though the nails haven't been adjusted in your Favour!

Remember the Parlours don't want you to win so often - so they set them up on the 'stingy' side!!

You can check this by testing how easily a Ball passes through the nails to the payout / start pockets........

I'm lucky all mine are set 'just right' when I get them - so I have never had to adjust them yet - but if you need to do this then be careful not to break the Pins!!

Keep us posted!!

Sooo,

You got the Pachinko Fever !! Watch out it (pachinkos) are Highly addictive ! I was sorry to hear that the glass (inner) was smashed I've had that happen to me with 5 of the 30 or so Pachinkos that i have owned .

Now about the payouts not happening , you can Gently bend the brass nails by hand and check the space with one of the 11mm balls you have . I have the sister to your machine Thunderbirds II classic and yes , i did have to do the nail adjustment on it but i have fun fixing and playing all the machines that i have and still own . Remember to clean the balls and trays about every month for good clean fun .

Make more room, throw out the furniture you will be getting more machines.
