    Once burned, twice shy! But it does look very nice.

    We have close to 700 of the most prolific ebay pachislo buyers. I doubt seriously that guy is going to be doing a very good business. I saw in his last auction, which was private, that only one bid came it at the end of it. Anyone want to venture a guess as to whether he purchased his own machine? :twisted:
    Meanwhile, somewhere in Oklahoma.

    I like it! But where is Bluto and Wimpy? Are you going to incorporate those characters in the machine as well? Hopefully one day I will be able to afford one of your machines. Are you ever going to sell just a customizing kit for those of us that may want to convert a machine we already own? Might help those who get bored with a certain theme.
    and a few others.

    Bluto and Wimpy will also be on the slot. They will be on the reels and on top.

    The problem with making a custom kit is the top glass and the reels. Most slots have the same size belly but the top glass can be different sizes. Also reels can change in size (28.5 inches 31 inches) and all pachislos have the symbols in different order so it is not possible to make a "one size fits all". I would have to know the exact size of your reels and the order of the current symbol on the reels. With 63 symbols on all 3 reels there is also the chance that communicating what symbol goes where gets messed up.

    I use Red Pulsar for my custom jobs so if you bought one of these

    then it would work. If anybody is interested, let me know and I will give you a good deal (as long as it does not end up on ebay

    I thought that my Super Reno machine would look good with your monopoly conversion. The money bags that light up, kind of a fourth reel, would go well with that theme. I believe it is made by the same manufacturer as the Pulsar machine you use. It sure looks a lot alike.
    and a few others.

    $35 including the shipping (contains top and belly backlit film and the reels in single 27.5 inch strips) - I will do it for a limited time for members of the board here if anybody wants it. I don't want to mess with changing the size of the reels and the position of the symbols so I will only print them ready to go for the red pulsar model.

    The Pulsar machine does not use backlit reels (front light only) so I print on Premium Luster Paper.

    I have had a few e-mails so here is how it is going to work.

    Pick a theme - Each member can pick up to 2 (2 of the same theme is fine)

    Monopoly
    New York Yankees
    Patriots Super Bowl
    Betty Boop - Harley Davidson
    Popeye (artwork will be done monday and I will post it)

    for $35 a set you will get the artwork for the Belly Glass and Top Glass (you will have to provide the plexiglass) on Backlit Film. You will also get the reels printed on 3" x 27.5" luster paper

    Please note the the reels will only work correctly with a Red Pulsar Model
    You can buy one at
    https://host65.ipowerweb.com/~pachis...h2&user1=1
    and they show up on ebay also but they will usually cost you more
    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=6158125579

    You can put the reels on another machine but the payouts will be all messed up because the order will be different.

    I ask that you don't sell them on ebay because I already sell them. That is fine if you want to sell it locally or through another source or give it to grandma.

    If you are interested, PM me.

    I will let this go until March 9th.

    If we cause a rush on that machine at pachisloUSA, you might want to give them a call to make sure they actually have it available before you place your order. Their website seems quite willing to accept any order up to 999 machines. I doubt thay actually have that many in stock.

    The site says that it is the last one. :<
    New Pulsar - Nice clean look to it. There are frogs and witches on the wheels. Sounds are synthesized, and not digital though. Last one: This unit only has a 5amp transformer, but it does have the original door key.

    Woops, missed that. :oops: Well, I guess it's not going to take much of a rush to clean them out then, is it? :-)

    New Images posted on top of this message.

    I tried a trick that worked out pretty good. You will notice that my reel glass has the symbols that are used on the pachislo machine. What I did was remove the Plexiglas, and then taped off an area and then used Finger Nail Polish Remover to remove the silkscreen paint. I then placed the graphics behind the Plexiglas. It turned out really great and looks like it was made this way and is at the same level as the factory graphics.

    It is a major pain though removing the silkscreen ink, hand to rub hard and use a lot of polish.
