    Default Star Wars Darth Vader: New Version?

    I emailed Slot-Pachinko as I knew they were getting a new shipment in of the Vader machine. I asked what color frames they had and this was there response.

    "We have the final run of Darth Vader with the enhanced graphics and whisper quiet animatronics. They are in the gold case. They weigh 12 pounds more than the older version of Darth Vader."

    While I don't really care for the gold frame (I think I'll hang on for a red or black) I'm intrigued about the enchanced graphics.

    Is this correct there are different versions of this machine?

    I'd be interesting in knowing what the extra 12lbs is

    There is a 'Light' version, perhaps they got some of those? Other the full version, I don't even see different specs within those models.

    Blue Hotaru is showing the black frame but DOES explain the difference. I know you can get it easily enough but I'll save you the trouble!

    Thanks but I think what they mean by the difference is between the Vader game and the old original Star Wars Pachinko. Also they only have it in the gold frame and not black as shown.

    As for the extra 12ilbs this may be the build up of tar that you usually find on Slot-Pachinko games.

    If they had the 'light' version wouldn't it weigh 12lbs less?

    My Darth Vader from Blue-Hotaru just shipped with a gold frame and the shipping weight was around 83lbs I believe. If anyone has a 71lb version they'd like to compare it against, I'd be happy to.

    Nope. Shipping cost the same $89 they always charge for a machine.

    ...and from my experience with SP, they sometimes s t r e t c h the truth!! i tend to agree with monkeyboy & drcrippen324. Once they service it, that extra 12lbs will be gone.
    Who knew a small chrome ball would be so much fun !

    My machine came packed well! It had more ware and tare than my OLDER yamato Pachinko strangely enough. KInda funny too some of the lights did not light up on my first fever but everything worked peachy on the 2nd! I am happy I got it at a great price so I guess that makes me 3/3 so are with SLots Pachinko!
