Pachinko/Pachislo in Switzerland????

[GTGianni]

Hi everybody
this is my first post here so let me just say yoroshiku onegaishimasu from switzerland. This site and the forums are really great

I just returned from a longer stay in japan and with brought that pachinko/pachislo fever with me.. i guess most people here know the sympthoms ^-^
Even though I think it's impossible to recreate the real feeling of the smoky and incredibly loud parlors (and the feeling of winning some medals), I decided to bring a bit of Japan to my home and buy a Pachinko or Pachislo machine.

But it seems that is easier said than done.. I found some european suppliers on this page but it seems they are all down. Does anybody know where I could get a Machine from? Any information is highly welcome!

Thanks in advance and 7-7-7
Gianni

Welcome Gianni - As Hanabi said try DrCrippen on here I can certainly recommend him from personal experiences that I have had dealing with him.

Also try Steve of 777Heaven, whom is in the UK but will ship to Europe (although this could be quite expensive). He sells on E-bay UK & I have attached a link below to his Ebay shop. Again I have used him, with no issues, but I have tended to collect most of my stuff from him (but had some shipped also).

The shipping Cost to Greece from Steve was 95 STP but that was over a year ago..

First off thanks to everybody for the warm welcome and the great tips! I already love pachitalk

I already found a few machines that would look good in my apartment on the sites you recommended me.

I was wondering what the estimated time is for a machine to be available on the second hand market after its introduction in japanese halls since I would love to buy one of the following machines but it seems they are not yet obtainable.

Pachislo:
Osu! Bancho
Hihouden
Ore no Sora
Hanasakari
Yoshimune

Pachinko:
Super Umi Monogatari
Shonan Bakusohzoku
Densha de Go 2
Nobunaga no yabou

(haha what a list )

PS: Sorry, I was offline for the whole week so my post is a little late....

PPS: @swissmr: didn't expect to see swiss german here hope kansas is a bit warmer at the moment than switzerland though...

[swissmr]

much warmer here, but you have much better chocolate over there so it evens out.

I learned a long time ago that warm weather and chocolate don't mix very well.

what r u talking about. what snowy log cabin isnt complete without some Hot Cocoa. If I was a fencer I'd say Too-shay

[dishpan]

Hot chocolate after a cold day outside works for me.
Chocolate in a warm pocket doesn't.
Sa-shay? Priceless.
