Just Added to my Collection!

[Steve Cebu]

I bought the Ice Paradise and Wanted Pachinko Machines from a PachiTalk member. They look great for older moderns.
Played with them for a bit but they really need more balls to play properly.
My wife hit a small fever on the Ice Paradise and it ran out of balls. I was
reloading them for a while. That means more balls being ordered tomorrow.

Have to upload via Photobucket a 3MB per pic limit would be great (hint, hint )

So in order are an Ice Paradise a Wanted and a pic of my 2 Pachinko and 1 Pachislo machines.
I know the pics could be a bit better I like to show the small details with no glare. Still not bad for a Point & Shoot (Canon S95) Shutter 1/1600; ISO 100
They are multiplying!

You can get better pictures of the pachinkos by removing the front glass.

A very nice collection you have going thus far, but they still look a little lonely. Which machine are you purchasing next??

Ok that's good to know. I will try that and see how it works out, it's tough to eliminate glare with the plexi there.
Thanks

Thanks everyone, it's a small collection right now the vintage Maruhon is sitting next to my desk on it's own pedestal.
I'm going to add a UY Forever Love and a MiniSuka Police 2 and hopefully a Julie and a Cutie Honey, if I can find one.
My wife will likely play them for the rest of the day when she gets home from work.

The table is rated for 1,200 lbs. from the manufacturer as long as the weight is evenly distributed. I figure 3 machines with balls/coins will weigh 150 lbs. each, so no drama.
The tables are 29.5 inches high 18 inches wide and 72 inches long. I think I paid $69 for it from Sam's Club. It has a 5 year warranty as well.
I sat my 200 lb. arse on it and it was as stable as a rock. It's the perfect size for Pachi. We are going to buy a 30 inch wide one and put pachi on both sides facing out.
Now if I can just find a decent 30 inch high stool.

Is yours the Wanted machine on CL San Diego or another one? http://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/ele/2776692603.html

[Steve Cebu]

It's neither I bought it directly from a PachiTalk member who PM'd me.
I was and still am looking for a Julie and a Cutie Honey. The Wanted and the Ice Paradise were offered
and I bought them. Neither of mine came with any balls.
I really don't mess around when it comes to buying stuff. If the price is right and my wife says "Yes", I buy it.
Now if I can just find the Julie and Cutie Honey I'll be all set.
Although it's difficult not to buy interesting pachi when they become available.

I have no issues saying the Machines were shipped from Cali...

Im glad to hear and now see they arrived in great shape...

I doubt i put more then a few hundred balls threw Ice Paradice.. and all though Wanted was played allot when My kids came for a visit i have only shot a few thousand balls threw it...

Its no secrete im more of a Vintage guy so its great knowing they will get the play and use they deserve...

Congrats Steve and of course, thanks

[KimbaWLion]

No matter how many you have you ALWAYS want the next one...

Thanks I am really enjoying them. I'll enjoy them a lot more when my wife gets a day off and we can make a real racket with them.
I think each type of Pachi has it's own charm.
The Vintage machines are very cool, fun to work on and a great hobby like restoring a classic car.
The older Moderns are pretty vibrant and have a lot more pins than newer moderns and are also very cool to play.
The new Moderns are really something. They are full on, in your face, lights and sounds like a mini disneyland on your table.
The Pachislo's are also fun for a taste of Vegas Japanese style, the wacky videos and bizzare stuff make them entertaining in a totally
different way.

They are all fun to me.

What is funny is when we hit the Ice Paradise cell with the new LED light we got and really lit it up. I found out the Cell is actually
of the inisde of a refrigerator complete with Ice Cold Beer, Egss with a hatched chick and Milk and other stuff.
I'm liking it even more now as its even weirder than before.

Thanks, yes they are pretty fun to play what little I was able to do with them.
Love the Ice Paradise inside of a refrigerator theme. I thought it was a skating theme or something.
So that's a BONUS!

I only want 5 or 6 more, wait make that 7.
