I respectfully submit my latest

[ebb]

I found my first vintage Pachinko about two months ago.
I now have six. I been able to pick them up through Craigslist.
A couple weeks ago I found my latest. I put it in garage and told it to get in line behind my other project you'll have to wait your turn.
A few days later I got around to taking a good look at it. It seemed familiar
kinda like where have I seen this before.
Well I'm almost embarrass to say I found a complete Power Flash.

At this point I wish to Thank Moparformances


I've kinda taken advantage of his offer of assistance (this wasn't the first time)
He sent me detailed photo's.
Deciphered my rookie questions
Offered and sent parts
Guided me with restoration and understanding game play
He even opened up the (1-800 pachi help desk line) and took a one hour service call from me.

I'm sure he will say "It was nothing." "No big deal just doing what I do."
Other members here would have done the same but for me he was and is invaluable.
Thanks again MP!!
and thanks to all the kind folks here who take the time help.

The machine was free. A throw in for buying a bucket of old rusty balls(no offense Rusty). Literally. In retrospect I can't believe it myself.
I haven't gotten Mopar's consulting bill yet so the total could be a bit more

Has anyone ever hit all the Aces,Kings,Queens and Jacks before pocketing a Joker? Including the initial powerflash that would be a total of ten wins. My oldest boy has already taken up challenge.
Lots of fun for the whole family.

Congrats on a great machine! As far as hitting the tulip sequence you described- I have never done
it. You'll find that it's kinda hard to keep the balls out of the yellow tulips. No doubt that's how it was designed.

Only when I put tape over the Joker...

I can hardly get 1 or 2 other pockets before I hit the Joker. I have bad dreams about yellow tulips.

I may need to seek counseling to deal with that...

I am very glad that my Powerflash Has sentimental meaning to me, otherwise I would be REALLY jealous right now.
(Instead of a just a little envious!)

Your machine AND the good LT's machine are the only two nishijin machines that I have seen with a white laminate front on them.
Most of the time you see white on sankyos, but wood stain on nishijin.

My Powerflash Thunderbird was the first pachinko that i ever played. I think dad bought it when i was about 8. It had several other homes before it found its way back to me.

Anyways... good score!

FREE!!

I think someone deserves a couple of Groans.

(I'll send them to the good LT!)
