Hoping to dodge a bullet!

I got a Popeye pachislo from Stealth last week, but I'm afraid to open it because UPS handled the package with such TLC as usual!!

I'm working on pictures...

I hope all is OK when you open it, lets hope you got lucky and that it is only damage to the outer carton.

I will keep my fingers crossed for you.

Stealth always double boxed when I bought from them in the past. It might be alright. Good Luck.

That does not look good, but I hope it's OK.

This one wasn't double boxed!! I 've now moved everything inside and removed the box protecting my Popeye. At first glance all appears in order. No dents, no gauges, some small scratches on the crome, nice cabinet, three pronged extension cord, very clean inside.

I will let the pachislo warm up overnight and fired it up first thing tomorrow morning!!

Wish me luck!

The suspence is killing me...is it alright or not?

At the remote chance that you are secretly Debbie of Pachi-Halloween fame, I hope this did indeed kill you!! If not, my apologies.

Yes, my battle (UPS abused machine) weary Popeye pachislo made it through a rough delivery from Stealth Amusement, intact. I finally had a chance to fire it up this afternoon and everything seemed to work fine. I did notice a louder than normal noise from the reels, but after careful examination I saw that two of the three reels were not properly seated. I'm sure the bumpy ride would account for that. As expected the volume was very loud and I will need to affix controls soon or risk expulsion from my wifes' house!

I believe that I've already found a very cool and affordable topper for my new pachislo, but I will need to keep an eye on the expiration date!!
