Hey folks,

Back in the 70s I bought one of the old type Pachinko machines, installed it the family room wall, and everyone enjoyed playing it. When we sold the house in 1982, I left the Pachinko game stay with the house, and I have regretted it ever since.

Just before coming home from Florida a few weeks ago, I found a vendor selling Pachislo machines and asked him about Pachinko machines. He said he would bring a couple for me to see the next day, and I bought one (Fever 7 Flash) just before we hooked up our camper to start home. When we got home and started to play it, it was a hit with my kids and their children.

Since then, I have purchased 6,000 balls on E-Bay and a second modern machine. Slotter said that since I had 6,000 balls, I would need a third machine for all those balls. Well, Since I have joined this forum, Slotter sure seems like a very wise person, so I thought it would be best if I would follow his advice.

Today I bought a third machine on E-Bay (Item number: 8175923208). This machine is one of the old types and looks very good on the E-Bay pictures furnished by the vendor. It is listed as an Okumura-Yuki machine and has a lion, a mouse, and the Statute of Liberty on the play field. I asked the vendor about the machine, and he said it is in full working order and that it is very nice cosmetically. It sure looks nice on the pictures.

My wife knows I bought the old machine today, and she is not very happy about it. She actually has no idea about the #2 machine I bought a few days ago, and I do not think that is going to go well at all. Do you think I could tell her that Slotter made me do it? After all, wouldn't any reasonable person listen to what someone as wise as Slotter had to say? I hope she buys the Slotter thing.

Best wishes,
Dave Wile
