Republic Industries Out of Business
Just talked to Carl in tech support at Republic Industries this morning (trying to get service or parts for a pachinko machine). He told me that they were going out of business. All the machines, etc. were bought by Texas Auctions. In fact, when I was talking to him he said TA was there loading a lot of machines into a truck to take to the TA facility. Thought you guys would like to know.
TA pretty much has a monopoly on the pachinko industry. :cry:
Carl knew things that will be very hard to come by now. :-(
"This is My Personal Opinion and no others"
Is TA a member here under the username SLOT-PACHINKO?
Yes, I have an Email into Curt, asking who going to do your tech work now.
"an inquiring mind needs to know or I will wet my pants" :cry:
Do you think they will honor there ebay auctions? I have two orders of tokens coming.
My Thunderzone came in a Republic Industries box and the balls ordered from RI came in the same tracking number as the Thunderzone. They've been working together.
i would believe they will take care of all of their current orders and that will be it.
I have two auctions and a non ebay sale coming from them. They just left feedback for me a few minutes ago so I bet they are taking care of the auctions. I wouldn't worry

Maybe Republic Industries should have charged 6 cents a ball :-?

Republic's price on balls was 4 cents each direct. A very fair price for some GREAT balls!!! Fast and friendly service.
Slot-Pachinko (TA) now charges TEN cents a ball.
Is that better? :-?

Maybe 2 cents more per ball would have made the difference

son of a @$##@$, I've been putting off buying balls from them and now it's too late. Of course, I was putting it off because I was broke, and I still am, so, well, there you are.

you snooze, you loose :-(
Just like I thought.... Balls arrived today in perfect condition!!! Should have ordered more but "who knew they would be selling out"
Talking about coming along at the right time, I bought some tokens and balls from them dirt cheap. I was wondering why the price was so low.
I got lucky and bought 2000 including shipping for $97 ten days back. Thanks to Tulsa who said ya need 2500 balls for the Thunderzone's big payouts! 8-)
Wish I'd bought more.
