    Default Addicted?? I think not!!

    I don't have a problem. I can quit any time. Just the fact that 2 more machines are on the way doesn't mean I am addicted. Just cuz I keep looking for that one single shot to add to my collection... Oh fine, I have a problem. I don't have enough room! There I said it! Just incase anyone is wondering, I am waiting on the arrival of a Super Stadium and an American Dream machine. That will make 7 total so far. Will post pics of the new additions when I get them and mount them in their corner.

    P.S. anyone know of an inexpensive single shot needing a new home please let me know.

    Thanks,

    It just won't stop there!!

    My name is Jeff and I am happily addicted to these alluring machines. I'm still not sure what it is about them, but I feel like a moth attracted to the porch light. I just have to keep hoarding...er...collecting them.

    There! My soul has been cleansed and I feel much better! Time to rescue another lost pachi.

    Who is next to admit their addiction and be set free?

    Howdy Folks I am addicted to these Pachinko's . So decieving small Japanese versions of Bagatelle Pinball - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    And i got hooked back in 1976 ,stopped in 1982 then started back up the addiction in 2002 . Being a lifelong Maintenace tech these machines call to me and being single and have my own Apt with no roommate needed or wanted i can enjoy my collection during the proper times ( got to get a home or cottage or cabin so i won't disturb the neighbors) .

    I Love Playing, Restoring, Maintaining my Pachi's .

    Thoses who grow tired of your Pachinko's let me know and I will take good care of them .
    When things don't go right the 1st time , Step back ,Take a break and come back renewed. RGS
