[tenoch]

Hi,

I'm looking to buy a few pachislos and pachinkos but I need some advise as to which machines are the most fun and durable.

Please let me know

Thanks

WELCOME!!!

Well they are all durable, considering they where made for nearly 24/7 use.

the use that you will give them in your home isn't anywhere near what they go through in their natural habitat..

as for the most fun... it depends on personal taste. some people love a machine to death others think it stinks.

your best bet is to find a theme that you like and take it from there..

I'm sure if you use the search function at the top of the page you will find that this subject has been covered before and many Members opinions can also be found in the Journals and Museum, etc......

at the moment the top Pachinko's (my opinion only )

Maharaja
Julie Pinball
Star Wars
Indiana Jones
Garfield

hope this whets your appetite for further research....

They are all durable but most fun is purely something you have to determine from your own tastes. We always stand behind one simple concept when it comes to these machines, "theme is king".

If you like the theme or you can somehow relate to it, you're going to enjoy the machine that much more. It is a personal preference and there is simply no way we can tell you what's going to be fun for you.

Thank you for the feedback, I was looking at a video of the Julie pinball and I liked what I saw, I have been trying to find one but they sem to be scarse.

Any Ideas as to where to find a julie pinball?


And what place would be the best to buy them from? (Online store names)

Thanks

These really are durable the only issue is with a few delicate parts is shipping, Dragon Dice the dice can come loose, and a pachinko with small dlicate real reels is a bit delicate as well but as long as it survives shipping it will usually last a consumer a lifetime.
If you can make road trips and actually play a few, see whats available locally, shipping is a large factor in purchasing. Make sure you see the fever video for the Julie, If you don't like this type of music video you might not enjoy it as much as others.
if you see a machine in someones sig line feel free to ask the owner a question about the machine. We are willing to share our thoughts and opinions on the machines we own.
