    I had ordered a machine from them on Fri. and also ordered a machine from a place in Canada the same day. Within a couple of hours I got a shipping notice from the place in Canada and as of yesterday still nothing from slot-pachinko.com. I called to find out if it had shipped or if something was wrong and I was told "We calibrated the machine on Monday, packed the machine on Tuesday, and it will ship first thing on Wednesday. If the machine from Canada arrives on time, it will beat a machine from Texas. I will let you guys know which one wins the race!!!

    What kind of calibration has to be done??

    ALL machines must have the pachinko fluid "calibrated" before they can be played safely...

    the pachinko fluid needs to be checked to make sure it is the proper viscosity.that process requires the use of sophisticated test equipment,and service should only be performed by a factory trained pachinko mechanic.

    I've bought a couple from them and the only problem I've had was a broken foot board on one of the machines.

    Maybe "machine calibration" means "We couldn't be bothered to get off our lazy butts and get your machine shipped, but we'll get to you tomorrow".

    I would really be interested to know on how the packing went on both machines. The last time on bought from slot pachinko they had excellent packing and for that alone I would wait the extra days.

    With my recent purchase, the machine was packed in box within a box, and there was lots of foam between the walls of the two boxes. The outside of the box was also clearly labeled "This Side Up" so that the machine would be shipped in the upright position.

    Thank you for making a great point! I guess packing is what makes me most nervous about ordering machines. I do think a great packing job is worth the wait, but I just want to play them NOW!!! Looks like the machine from Canada will be arriving tomorrow while I am work (unless I am sick -cough, cough) The machine from slot-pachinko is scheduled to get here on Sat. Does Fedex deliver residential on Sat?

    Picked up my Bond from SP. I have had several phone conversations with Curt & David. Seem to be helpful. My first contact w/SP was to obtain tech support on my Marilyn (purchased at a Estate Sale - NOT SP). SP initially helped me out but then later politely asked me not to contact them since I did not buy the machine from them(I understand) They did suggest Pachitalk for help and here I am! The Bond was cheaper on Ebay(initial bid)than on their main site. The "buy it now" was $5 higher than their site but I was willing to take the chance of being the only bidder - worked out! I have seen the BOND much higher on other sites. Maybe the ir Ebay auction seems "hyped" to some but I feel they tried to do their best in pitching a sale. If you have ever tried selling on Ebay it can be a pain and frustrating - I think SP did a fine job on their auction info. GOOD LUCK!!!

    I got my Galaxy Railways from Slot-Pachinko. It was gotton ebay for $20 less than the website. I have good communications etc it was packed REALLY well. It had 4 bulbs out which they kindly replaced they just asked that I wait for my first jackpot to make sure it was not suppose to be on just for the Jackpot fever. I have have nothing but good luck and pleasent conversations with them. I would do business with again and most likely will.

    So far my experience with slot-pachinko is not good. I got my machine on Saturday afternoon which is 8 days after ordering. They said I am 2 days away. When I open the box, I find the wrong machine inside. I call right away and am told call back Monday. They will have to send a pick up tag to get this machine and then they will send me the right machine. If things keep going the way they are, I probably wont see my machine for another 2 weeks. Since I had never seen the machine they sent me before and I had a couple of days before Fedex was going to pick it up, I figured I could at least play the thing and see what it does right? IT DOESN'T EVEN WORK!!! What is up with that??? I understand sometimes shipping takes a while and mistakes in warehouses happen, but when you give me the story that it took a day to "calibrate" the machine and it doesn't work when it gets here. I am not happy so far. So I guess I will give this another try and hope that I get the right machine and it works when it gets here.

    To be continued...

    Based on the responses posted to this thread, it sounds like buying from Slot-Pachinko is either "hit or miss." Some had good experiences while others did not.

    It's too bad - consistency is crucial when you are working in a customer service field. I guess I will count myself lucky on my recent purchase and be prepared for a not-so-smooth experience should I purchase from them again.

    I had the same good-bad experiences with Slotusa when they were in business.

    but, they always made it right and i got some great deals and pachis

    they did send me a paradise when i ordered a slot paradise once!!!

    and a nonworking pachinko which they picked up and replaced with a better one!!

    Alright, so Fedex came with my machine while I was at work yesterday! I get home and immediately open it up to see if it is the right one and IT IS!!! I plug it in and it lights up! I load balls, turn the handle and it does nothing!! After taking a little bit of time to check things over, I find the little dongle piece in the back of the machine is busted. Man, I live 1 state away and it has taken 2 weeks just to get the right machine and I still can't use it. Needless to say, I have not had a good experience with slot-pachinko and probably will never do business with them again.

    Yeah, I am working on it. Probably going to get 2 or 3 of them. Just trying to save some pennies first after buying 2 moderns.
