Strange, Unusual and gross finds in machines.

[Eddie]

I had one that seemed to be covered in a Black soot as if it were stored in a chimney.

The usual small dead roaches and spiders were found in a few machines.

[bfree]

I had fragments of glass and a larger ball bearing stuck in a payout motor. No pictures and camera now broken.

[MrGneiss]

I found what looked like bits of food a mouse had been storing in my pachislo..I did take pics..maybe one day I can find them!!



Ok I found one..3 chewed Smarties and a piece of donut maybe!!
I think they were next to or behind the hopper..I can't remember!!

Where are all the coins in the shooter knobs? Did find one in a machine once, now where is that pic...

[arbycoffee]

I found sankyo machine a 2 yen copper many moons ago

[mudfud]

here's the staple from my star wars machine that "didn't work" - saved me at least $100 off the price

for my vintage machines, I did find a collection of nuts in the back of the payout chute. one of the local critters must have been storing his winter supplies there. every few jackpots, I would get a bonus "nut" with the pay out.

I just find spider web balls from the "Victims " of the spiders and of course packing peanuts and styrofoam where it shouldn't be and having to take the darn thing apart before i get a chance to play it .

[MrGneiss]

I found a small elf or something in one of my pachinkos once, it said if I let him out he'd grant me some wishes..So I let him out but no wishes, what a liar!!

I wish I had taken some pics!!

I Said, I Wish I had taken some pics!!!Nope, still no wishes!!

[new in town]

What goes around, comes around.

Glad to hear you found it.

[Sid]

What goes around, comes around.

Glad to hear you found it.

well i wasnt actively lookin for it

but again i would never have thought to look in the hopper..

[musky]

does Jimmy Hoffa count?

[Meathead]

Now you got the rest of us wondering how it got dropped through the token slot, Sid.

[Sid]

i'd like to discuss the details.. but the discussion of wedding band conversion on pachislos is prohibited on this site..

[bill812]

I found pieces of green crayon in mine along with some non-descript insects, being that I just joined this site, I didn't think to take any "before" pix when I did my clean-up/refurbish a few weeks ago. If I take on another restoration project, I will be sure to do that.

[JACKSJE4]

Welcome to PachiTalk, Bill812!! We are glad to have another addict aboard.

[who922]

I think I would have lost my mind if I couldn't find my wedding band for 2 years. I was outside at 1:00 a.m. last night because I couldn't find my truck keys!

[Lazarus]

As a painter it doesn't pay to ware my band so now I only put it on when theres something we go out to do. Before I was a painter I ether had it on all the time or never failed to put it back on. Driving home one night I had my hand out the window. When I looked an my hand my band was gone. Lets say the wife was NOT happy. Do I need to say anything about the rest of the way home?!
Did I say never? So what's on the bathroom vanity when I get home? I couldn't decide what was worse, going home or getting home.

[pinball wizard]

does Jimmy Hoffa count?

so that is where jimmy hoffa wound up?inside a pachinko machine?the yakuza must have done him in.
