    Default jim was a bad boy...again

    Last Sunday morning... cold and overcast, :compdesk:ok not really cold, just a little cool, remember this is Southern Calififornia.
    I'm walking along minding my own business when out of no where pops this street fair where all these people are set up selling antiques.

    Ok' here's the real story, I go to the flea market that I go to every month, and before I am even half way around, I see a poor abused single shot pachinko sitting neglected at the back of a booth. carefulluy I tread my way past all of the other items littering the street, carefully aproaching the machine, Frame is solid, face is not cracked, chrome is painted black, front isn't too bad lets take a look at the back... Ohhh it's all there, most of the metal is painted black as well, lights are missing, no balls, ...How much for the Pachinko...Evil Vendor thinks for a while... How about $50... No I can't do $50 how about $25... it's missing all the balls, and there's lots of rust under this paint...Evil vendor comes back with how about $40...No still a little much ... How about $30?

    Ok... I don't want to take it home...


    So now Jim has another machine...

    There I admitted it I bought another machine, I have a problem... I like to save old abused machines from Evil vendors that won't take care of them and would rather have a few dollars in their pockets

    Well I think it's a very fine unselfish thing you do...

    Rescuing those poor little orphan Pachis from those Evil Vendors!!
