    All depends on what you like, but hanemonos rock my world, so I'm terribly biased. I find them very attractive. BinBin Variety 2 is a fun machine.

    But best judge for yourself?



    The one for auction does appear to be in nice condition - but I'd bargain on the BIN price?
    There is always another machine around the corner...

    Thanks Candyflip! knew you would have the info, it is truly a beaut!

    gonna have to think about it,as i have two on the way (Gladiator evolution and Wanted) they were both delayed by hurricane Irene.

    also managed to remove two oversized ball bearings from the Rolling Machine (you identified for me) and now its fully functional in all its rotating glory!!

    I would say at least $75 over priced but that's me maybe it's worth more to you.

    I am a vintage machine collector and this is the only "modern" machine I own. I find it really fun to play. Once you get it in fever mode, the machine goes absolutely nuts!! Volume controls are a MUST!!

    I would say a fair price for it is in the $100 to $150 range, assuming it works as it should.

    i agree with you guys about the price, the other side is, ill be saving a lot on shipping and getting to try it first!
    also i can ensure it gets home in one piece!

    might go for it if they come down to at least $150

    I personally prefer the playing field from the original. But everything comes down to personal Taste and if you want it badly. Price doesn't come into the equation. But as I collect anime cels. Thats not always a popular belief with the other half.

    BinBin variety 2 cab.jpgBinBin variety 2 front face.jpgBinBin Variety 2 center face.jpg got it home safe! its really great looking and functions wonderfully

    but as usual there is a slight problem,
    the shooter motor had moisture damage and sounds terrible when on,
    ( a bit like a shovel scraping on the bottom of a trash can )

    can i fix this myself? or just find a replacment part? it looks like this

    thanks for the encouragment all! and other than that sound, im in love! (i think vintage modern is my calling now)

    finding a replacement is going to be hard...

    ya might consider trying to open it up and give it a bit of cleaning

    Small technical point for you - no such thing as a 'vintage modern'. They are either vintage (manual shooter), or modern (electronic shooter).

    Good luck with the continuing journnnneeeyyyy...

    The machine you have we would classify here on PachiTalk as an "Early Modern"
