    Default The New Guy From Canada

    Hey Everyone!

    Just bought my first Pachinko and then a couple days later my second!

    I have always wanted one as a kid but completely forgot about them until like a week ago. Then I found 2 for next to nothing and now I'm addicted (of course). My wife says it would be dangerous to buy another one but I laugh in the face of danger

    Here are a couple of pics

    Sweet!! Congrats!! Is that Nishijin the panda one? The Mizuhos never cease to amaze me with their colors, the do the nicest green cels. If you can, please post closeup pics of the centrepieces.

    I bought my first 2 within a week of each other almost 2 months ago - I now have 11 machines with 3 more coming. Hope you have space and an understanding wife!!

    Here are the closeups the 2. One is the story of the battle of the crab and monkey but not sure of the other one. This Nishijin is the same one in Classicplastic.net and he was a big help on the history.

    Welcome to PachiTalk!

    I too have a crab machine as does another user here as well. This seemed to be a popular one.

    I really like your other machine as the chrome facing is enhanced with the engravings and makes it really pretty.

    Good purchases and again, welcome to the addiction!

    Don't worry about the wife. I started with one and 9 years later we have about 70 in the garage and we just picked up 4 more today! She cringes at first but then falls in love the the design of them. In fact she wants your Mizuho! dang why did she have to look over my shoulder when I was looking at your pictures. Welcome to the hobby.

    Thanks for the pictures!

    Seeing that It's both a labor of love and a family affair gives me goosebumps.
