shouldn't you just be in the car driving by now?

[JACKSJE4]

He wants $20 for each one, and I already have a garage full. He lives about an hour away, so I asked for photos to see if any of them were unique before I made the trip. If they are all similar to what I already have, then I will pass.

Still, I will post the photos I receive in case anyone here is interested in what I don't take. I am always happy to ship to a PachiTalk member for actual shipping costs.

Hi Jeff,

Did this person ever get back to you? I also sent him an email yesterday but never received a reply. I could probably get them today if it doesnt get too late before I receive a reply.

I can offer the same thing you are. If there is something there that I already have I can help out any of our members that are interested.

[JACKSJE4]

Here is the response I received from him yesterday:

Jeff,

I'll send you those pics later this afternoon.

Thanks!

I'm guessing that the snow storm changed his plans, so I will give him the day before I message him again.

Either way...We've got it covered...as ususal!!

OK, I received the pictures from the seller, but they must have been taken with a bad cell phone camera. The images are really blurry and the lighting is bad. One machine looks like it has the Skiing theme, but most of the 'guts' on the back are missing. The other two look to be mostly complete, but I can't tell what condition the cells are in.

I scheduled with the seller to pick them up tomorrow. Since one of the machines has significant parts missing, I'm going to see if he will sell all three for $45.

I will post an update tomorrow.

I met the seller today and picked up all three machines. He wanted $20 each, but I was able to talk him down. Pics are posted below.

Of the three, all have issues:

The one with the skiing theme is totally complete, but there are significant water stains on the cell that really detract from the ornaments. Otherwise it is in perfect (but dirty) condition.

There is a Mizuho that is quite colorful and mechanically complete, however the plexi is missing and it looks like something fell against the play field and knocked off the very top pocket, bending some nails in the process. I suspect this one can be fixed pretty easily.

The Sanyo has the most pristine cell of the three, however half of the mechanics are missing from the back, so I think it will only be good as a parts machine, unless someone has an identical machine laying around that wouldn't mind giving it up for parts. Didn't think so.

Out of the lot, the Skiing machine is the only one that interests me (I think I will need to bribe Microbus99 into helping me replace the cell!) The others will be shipped to another PT member that expressed interest in them.

Between your machines and mine we have enough to keep ourselves busy for a few years.

Doesnt mean we wont entertain new additions.

Hey Jeff
If the Sanyo turns into a parts machine, there is something I am missing on mine that I see on that one.

Same here. Let me see which parts I need and if they differ from mbodi's request.

Also may be interested in the Mizuho if I can get some plexi and it is an easy fix.
