I've been Arby-fied!

yes, it works great too, no bending over

She then started saying things like "look at all of the colors of the lights" and "your old one wasn't this cool" (sorry compirate, but the extra "bling" of the Lumina frame helps)...

The Lumina is somewhat colorful, you should see a Heiwa Lassen World or one of the Nishijin frames when it lights. I'm more interested in the frame (FF99) of the Crazy Combat than the game, I've got a pretty good collection of Sankyo frames going (all but a couple from 1989 to present).

The WAY cool thing was the Star Wars promo pack I got. I guess these were only given out on rare occasions (to pachinko parlors & dealers) and definately not with every machine. It is 98% Japanese, but the picture are cool to look at.

Cherish that, they're very hard to come by. As you guessed, these are sent to parlor owners and handed out at the premiers of the machines.

Oh, I almost forgot... That magnet grabby-tool... Is that for picking up all of the runaway pachinko balls?

Yes. And there will come the time the ball dump will be open and you won't realize it and several hundred will spill on the floor, or a tray tips or whatever. That tool makes quick work of retrieving them and the hand release is 'handy'

Great pictures and sounds like you had a great time.

Well Nick said it all, was great funy meeting an fellow Iowian that talks pacginko.

If I only had room for one frame . . . . . (scary thought)

Of all the machines I got and had the lumina frame and ease of change out would be the only one for me
