scored a great deal today!

[JBimmolate]

Well it is official I made a great score today. Saw an ad on craigslist on Tuesday. 5 vintage pachis for $50. All work according to the seller. The seller lived 2 minutes from my sister so I convinced her to pick them up for me. The bad news is I have to wait 2 weeks before I can get them from her. I will get a list posted tomorrow with whatever pictures I can get. Fingers crossed I get some good ones.

LOL! I think I just posted about this one in the CL area. Great buy and glad it was a PT member that got them.

[JBimmolate]

Yes a trip Tahoe is in my future. I was the first one to call him so he was nice enough to hold them until yesterday so my sister could pay him. I talked with him on the phone and he said they all work but he said they did not work in the add because the electronics (lights) did not work so he thought they were all missing the power pack. I smell a bunch of 9 volt battery conversions in my near future. I may take you up on that offer to swing by your place and check out your parlor. It looks like I may be converting an area of my garage in to a mini pachi parlor lol.

here is the list from his CL add:
1. Nishijin with scuba diver in the middle-Shiroi Kamome-no glass
2. Gm-X Maruto-Golden machine with monkey-crab in the middle-plastic face cover
3. Ya Nagi-Meigin-light in center-no glass
4. Sophia-in cabinet-plastic half cover
5. Kyoraku Ultoba-plastic front-has hole-poppy

here are the pics from the add

let me know when ya are heading up and when your heading back... we will see if we can hook up

looking forward to a visit...

shot me a PM when ya have plans firmed up

[JBimmolate]

No problem, I am not sure when yet but once we get some plans nailed down I'll let you know. We may head up this weekend for the day to get them. Just depends on how the wife & kids feel about it. I may tell them we are going up to play in the snow & visit my sister, sounds better than "Daddy wants to go get some pachinkos and you are all coming along".

Miles

[luckydog]

do you have enough room on the ride home for the pachinkos and family??

Spoiler

or will the kids have to ride on a roof rack

[JBimmolate]

Yeah I have a 1/2 ton Truck. I figure I'll tie the kids down in the bed and belt the machines in the seats. Oh wait maybe I have it backwards... Oh well I'm sure I'll figure it out.

Where you able to get the machines? How about #5, what does it look like. There is one in that lot that looks pretty old, 50/60's vintage.

[JBimmolate]

Have not been able to get up to tahoe to visit my sister yet. She came down last weekend but only brought me the balls. They did not have any room for any of the machines. So as soon as we both have time I will make the trip. No pics of the fourth machine as of yet.

Well I just got a surprise call from my Father. He went up to Tahoe this past weekend and he is on his way home now. He has to pass by my place to get home. He said "The Pachinko Express will be pulling in to Stockton in less than 30 minutes". So I will have some pictures up in a little while once he gets here and I get them all unwrapped. I guess I know what I will be doing in my spare time for the next few weeks.
