I have always regretted...

[alancurry]

My first Pachinko machine, I don't remember the model or name, was given to me by my parents when I was 11 (mid-70's) for Christmas. I enjoyed playing it and annoying them at the same time. After awhile, it went to the attic. Six years ago, I remarried and needed to down size so I sold it. I've regretted it ever since.

About two weeks ago, I thought about that old Pachinko machine. I looked on Craigslist to see what I can find. This is what I found:

Nishijin - 1976? (52-6)



A week later,

Sanyo - 1974? (50-12)



and last night,

Sankyo -1973? (49-12)



All three have various issues. My step-son asked me why I bought three. I told him you never know if you need parts. In reality, I hope to get them cleaned and working so I can give one to him and the other two to his brothers (my son's).

Anyway, I normally don't talk much in forums but I do appreciate the wealth of information I've read here at Pachitalk and various other sources on the web.

Thanks,

Alan
