Dreaming Pachinko
Last night I had a dream about a very interesting pachinko machine.
The dream begins with me pulling into a swap meet to sell some items. Don't know what I was going to sell because I had my wifes little Toyota Yaris, normally I take my truck. Anyway, this swap meet usually has a good turn out but there is me and about 3 other people setting up. Before setting up I decide to walk around and look at the other vendors, way off over in the corner is a lady with an equally small car and standing next to it is a very unusuall pachinko machine. Trying to contain my excitement I quickly examine the machine. It's rough but has potential, How much I ask, $100 and not a penny less comes the reply. pulling the cash from my pocket I grab my new machine and head back to my space, hoping someone is at home to bring the truck to let me get this home. This is where I wake up.
Wondering what it looks like...
Coin op 50 cents to play
8 feet tall
1940's Vintage Mills slot machine in the center of the playfield
Shooter knob to launch the balls
Balls were about 2 inches across, painted with dragon designs, some of them were in need of a repaint
Machine was cyclic because there were 15 balls in a sealed tray at the bottom of the machine.
It looked like a companion piece to the oversize pinball machines that showed up in arcades in the late 70's and early 80's
I woke up before I got it home , but it would make a great addition to any collection
