PachiNoob is new! Need a Pachinko in MI!

[PachiNoob]

Hello PachiNoob, what brings you to PachiTalk
I'm looking to get a cool Pachinko machine and have been scanning the web and stumbled upon the site! I've Been searching for one in Michigan and have came up with only one or two! Anyone got any they are looking to sell? Looking for a cool themed one!

How about you tell us a bit about yourself, PachiNoob.
Saw a cool Western Hero machine on ebay but it was in NJ. Looked around for info on it and saw pictures of them in North Korea at some hotel and I wanted to get it badly! Too far for me to travel though!


Thanks for taking the time to introduce yourself!

Welcome to PachiTalk!!

Well you have come to the right place to find out more about pachinkos and hopefully track down one that is of interest to you

Our Members are very good at finding them and I'm sure they will post with suggestions for where to start in your particular neighbourhood, although I know Craigslist is usually a good place to start

Thanks everyone! We'll I've been looking on craigslist and haven't found anything great yet in my area. One is in an estate auction but I cant see what it is from the picture and its on the opposite side of the state! I've noticed there is a Thunderbirds theme which would be my top choice and all of the ones movie or action related are awesome looking! Western Hero looked cool for an older one. Indiana Jones was eye catching too! Definitely looking for a Pachinko and not Pachislo. It seems its gonna be tough to get a great deal on one as you buyers probably snatch them all up !

[PachiNoob]

I thought I posted a reply but maybe not? Thanks for the welcoming and Jeff I'm looking for something fairly new pachinko I love the themed ones either movies or video games etc. I've seen a thunderbirds one which would be my top choice as well as the Indiana Jones looks cool! Nothing really special on craigslist in Michigan that I've found only one in an estate auction on other side of the state and It's not recognizable from the picture. A Western Hero caught my eye on ebay but it was in New Jersey and didn't want to be shipped! Any help or people looking to sell something cool to get me started would be great!!

[PachiNoob]

ahh wont let me reply!

[PachiNoob]

Thanks for the welcome everyone ! Jeff, I'm looking for something newer with a great theme and in good condition. I've seen there is a Thunderbird theme which would be my most desired choice. From there I'd enjoy anything with a movie theme or action type video game theme. I also really enjoy soccer so something related would be great as well! Indiana Jones looks like a pretty cool version and has some cool movement. I noticed a pachi talk member has a great pachislo Thunderbird machine that I would buy in a second if it was Pachinko!

As far as craigslist I've found two so far in Michigan that i'd be interested in. One was a Woody Woodpecker listed for $150 that didn't seem to be that theme in the photo. So I was sort of put off by that and the price tag.

Second one I found is in an estate auction this weekend but its on the other side of the state. It is unrecognizable from the lo-res picture provided. However it does look like a decent pachinko.

Any help from you guys would be great as I work towards making my first Pachinko purchase! Hopefully it is sooner than later.

There is a Thunderbirds pachi listed in Sacramento, and we have members in that area.

Most members on this site have helped others with purchasing machines from CL and shipping them (if you are willing to pay the shipping charges). If you ever see a machine you want in the Denver area, just send me a PM or post a thread about it and I will gladly help you out.

Welcome to the club!

[PachiNoob]

Ahh sorry for all the replies ! lol Great find!!! who should I get a hold of to try and work something out ? Is that a good deal or a little high? Do you think this would be a good first pachinko machine?

[JACKSJE4]

I am a vintage guy, so I am not as well versed in the modern machines.

I would recommend starting a new thread with the link to the CL ad and ask all of your questions there. You will be pleased with the advise and reponse you will receive!
