number six is new!
Please allow myself to introduce.. myself.
I'm over in Tampa and have been collecting arcade/pinball machines for about 15 years. I run the Florida Arcade and Pinball Collectors group (http://www.arcadeflorida.com, shameless plug)
It's through arcade collecting that I got introduced to Pachislo years ago as they used to show up in bulk at the Super Auctions arcade auctions (as the owner bought container loads full and took them to his auctions). So like everyone that collected I ended up with at least one (a Space Adventure Cobra which I still have). Eventually the man told them they couldn't sell those here anymore so its been a trickle since.. which is a shame really because the few i've seen from recent years have really advanced with LCDs and all sorts of gimmicks. Makes my old one look downright plain and simple.
Anyhoo always wanted a Pachinko as well and finally took the plunge and ordered one. Looking forward to getting it (a Galactic Railways) as the youtube videos look like a lot of fun.
Look forward to finding a new way to blow what little disposable income I have left.
