Deal of the Century

[jetedrow]

Hey guys! I just had to tell you this wonderful story. I was parusing around craigslist the other day, and stumbled across an ad for a pachislo for $75 (no pictures). I called them assuming it was one of the fully-japanese ones which I was going to use for some "frankenpachi" things I have been dying to try.

When I called a lady answered who obvioulsly didn't know much about them, and said that they lost the key so it has been sitting in their garage since they had no way of doing anything with it. Well, I asked her if she would be willing to take $50 for it as I assumed would be a fair price for an older machine to add to the collection.

Well, to make a long story short, I saw the machine, and even though they couldn't test it out for me, needless to say I took it for the $50...

Whoever said craigslist didn't have good deals!

Without further adu... presenting my purchase:








Spin Luck # 000256 !!!

Like I said... deal of the century... my jaw dropped to see that there... I never thought I would ever have one of these, let alone save it from someone who was keeping it in their exposed-to-the-elements garage since it was not working (I did a BUNCH of cleanup).

Okay... stepping off my pedestal now

CONGRATS on the great buy!
Craigs List strikes again, YEA!

All I can say is WOW!!!

An absolute steal! That's exactly why I keep punching up searches on CG despite the fact that my room is absolutely stuffed with those things! Great find. I can't believe you talked her down even more! I'll bet you would have handed her the $75 without another word had you known what it was!

Hey, how's about finding me a nice Harley machine???

Actually I talked her down on the phone before I even knew what model it was, I had no idea until I arrived at their house to grab it from their garage! You're right... $75 would NOT have been a problem!

I'll keep you in mind in case I happen to stumble across one like I did!

Congrats.

Which Key do you need? If it's the door key and it is a flat key. I had a couple of extras made awhile back when a member needed a lock and key.

If it is a flat door key, PM me your address and I'll send you one if you want it.

Spoiler

I had to drive all the way to Main from here in Florida to get Mine and the $$$ was A L L O T More.

[sailorpatp]

What are you going to convert it to?

[outdoorenth]

WOW!!! What a find. Congratulations!

[MrGoodBurn]

Congrats!

What a find!!!

[hanabi]

Congratulations!!

Spinluck seems to be a very popular (with our members) and sought after model of Pachislo

and that is a low serial number too

[compirate]

What makes it great?

Rare (won't they all be, eventually?)
English
Ease and excitement of play - will I get a flexi-disc spin this time?
Hitting the red or black on the left reel is relatively easy when told to do so.
Potential for hitting 7777!

Same for Harley, plus the fact, well duh, it's Harley!

[jetedrow]

What are you going to convert it to?

Well, since it is a Spin Luck, obviously my quest for another cheap pachislo is on... no converting this one!

When I do find one I am going to try out a MAME conversion of one into a PE+ video poker. I am a computer programmer by trade so I have already written software to be able to interface with it and I think it will be pretty cool.

Check sellers for bad Gamera HG's. I pick one up without it's innerds for almost the same thing, already have the 15" touchscreen LCD. Now for the time...
