Help me choose my first Pachinko

[Carlsberg]

Hi, Websherpa got me back into wanting a pachinko. We are building a kids/game room and have some pinballs, a Beaver candy machine and now I want to surprise them with a pachinko.

I'm looking for recommendations - something that would appeal to kids (3 & 6) and a grandpa. Charlie Chaplin seems like a good theme.

Then there's the obvious Batman, Betty Boop type themes.

Is manufacturer important - in the pinball space the majority prefer Williams/Bally, but with Pachinko's in my limited time, it doesn't seem people focus on one manufacturer.


Thanks,
Doug.

oh . . . it comes witrh a real manual for that machine

[new in town]

I have one of Arby's machines. A Fireworks converted to cyclic. Even though the shipping box showed up with two torn corners and a slightly crushed side the way Arby packed it my Pachinko made it through it's journey undamaged. Un wrapped it, beautiful, shinny, looks like a brand new machine. Fired it up and have not had a problem with it from day one.

What I am trying to say is that if you purchase a machine from Arby you WILL be getting the best that is out there. I have purchased from two other vendors and they do not compare to Arby's machines.

DISCLAIMER!!!
Arby Coffee has not paid, solicited, Threatened me with rusty BALLS to make this statement.

Hmmm, seems like a fair theme - not as timeless and appealing to grandpa. I tried finding the Animal King within pachitalk in the museum, but couldn't. What year is the machine - or should I even care?

Thanks again - seems Arby is the "man" - Websherpa said the same... if only there wasn't duty to Canada...

The Animal King is by Sammy - I think it's a 2004 model??

The Museum here is currently undergoing integration into the Main Forum, and I believe the Sammy models are yet to be transferred across...

Here is a link to some of Sir Arby's Videos of the machine in action

and if you do a 'Search' for this model using the Site Search Function - you should be able to locate more information...

Hope this helps

and WELCOME TO PACHITALK!!

Welcome onboard - And whilst I haven't played on that particular machine I have heard a number of members on here who have it, like it.
