    they would know it's not Bob the Builder.
    Let's say I was not familiar with pachinkos... but was searching for something "Bob the Builder" on eBay for my 4 year old grandson (who happens to love the program!)

    "Oh look! A nice Japanese pinball machine that's as big as he is! With 400 balls he can eat or put up his nose! He'll love it!!! Let's buy it now!!!"

    Ummmm... No.

    How about "Crazy Carpenter"?
    Or "Hammerin' Hank"?
    Or even "Spacklin' Spooner"!!! :smt101

    Better yet... call it "Carpenter Gen", and say in the description that it's CR Daiku no Gen-san.

    MUCH more appropriate for a scratch n' dent, then!

    "Can we fix it? YES we can!!"

    OK... I'll accept the name now. :lol:

    Wow! Just to show you how out of touch I am, I had no idea there was actually something really called Bob the Builder, but I would hope that any 4 year old that I know would have enough adult supervision to keep pachi-balls away from them :wink:

    I agree that the real machine name should be included in the description at the very least. Especially for the devotee looking for a specific machine ... IMHO ~spooner

    if you read the description, the screen has some burn in, that's why it's so cheap!!!!

    they have others listed, all low prices with some kinds of problems.

    sold as working with no balls on delivery.

    The screen does look ghostly like burn in. Could be the camra shot, this is something I would check if anyone were going to buy.

    LOL! There ya go!

    Hammerin' Harry the carpenter with no balls, kinda burnt out, and showing a few marks from smoking too much.

    Now THAT would sell!!!

    I'll tell my son... he's a union carpenter... I'll bet he's worked with a few guys like that!

    Just goes to show you that people are most concerned about price and quality comes in second.
