    does $150 sounds like a good price? i don't wanna get jipped, most other pachislos i see go for like $250 though so to me it sounds reasonable, but people on CL usually just want to get rid of things.

    I tend to go for the newer machines with large LCD's because I think they're more entertaining. I'm really high on Godzilla right now. It might cost you an extra $100 or so, but you'd get it from a reputable vendor and it would be shipped to your house, so you'd avoid the gas costs and 2-hour drive that you've described.

    Well i like LCD's but after reading about babel other threads, and after watching rai rai goku, i KNOW i want babel. we agreed on $130, i figure shipping would be about 80 bucks normally, and a 2 hour drive is about 3 gallons of gas for my awesome car! so shipping would be more in the end! 6 gallons of gas $18 shipping $60! Hopefully im gonna pick it up this thursday, but thats dependant on a few things, all i know is i can't wait!

    Babel is a good machine. Great sounds and lights. Go for it if it's in good condition. I have Babel and have no intention of getting rid of it.

    There are SO many yummy treats at Cracker Barrel.

    And Babel is an EXCELLENT machine. The first I bought, but (due to slow shipping) the second to arrive. It was a very tough choice to let that one go.

    Babel is an Exceptional machine for being an older model but packs more motion, lights and variety than most along with being a machine entirely understandable to the english speaking individuals. I have found a couple of odd occurances with mine that have either solved themselves or required some pretty tricky fixes (the most recent requiring powering the machine off and manually discharging the power supply caps so the base memory reset itself) (I have to remember to close that thread thanks for the reminder). Keep in mind that my machines operate FAR more often than most of ours here due to the fact that I rent them and they are continually being transported and hammered on by renters so there is not a single machine in my fleet that has not required some sort of TLC.

    XXXX is an aruze machine most similar in gameplay to the DON DON CHAN of the Hanabi series that most of us here are familiar with. I have seen a Green version however and it seems to be more rare than others. The Actual name is the Continental 1111 and it was manufactured in 2001. both are good starter machines and at that price just go to Chuck E CHeeze and get 40 bucks worth of tokens for each and go for it. Be careful however Both of these machines are primary candidates for the only modification we at this site do not condone.
    A token for your thoughts???
