i am going to purchase my 1st pachinko very soon ,

i have a choice ,new sea story ,or magic carpet

does any of you guys own ither of these machines ,and i your opinion which plays the best ..etc ,etc

your thoughts would be great

[Drunkenclam]

I haven't played either. My sea story is about 4 years newer than New sea Story. But it's a good family friendly theme, Magic Carpet, I don't know at all, Sorry. But one thing I look out for when I get a machine is what other cels fit the frame.

Do you know make and year of magic carpet

[robb]

i belive its this one with a purple frame

Magical Carpet I Pachinko by Sankyo 2003 (

and the sea story is a red frame

[luckydog]

magic carpet is in the victory frame

[candyflip]

Of course I'm going to say Magic Carpet. The Sea Story's are deji-pachis and they bore me to tears.
Magic Carpet is a modern hanemono and has some degree of skill involved.

My 2 cents.

If you like video slot machines choose Sea Story,if your more of a gadget, Rube Goldberg fan you might enjoy the Carpet better

will throw another one into the mix ..what about woodywood pecker?

[Drunkenclam]

Might hold its value more as its a recognizable theme. Oh please bear in mind the number of balls you will get. As they aren't readily available in the UK like they are in the US

[Card Shark]

I think I would lean to the Woody Woodpecker machine. Just my opinion though.

[robb]

thanks all looks like its woody woodpecker,,,where do i get more balls hoping to get 250 with it .can you get them from the uk?

[Card Shark]

I order them off eBay from Goldenstatetraders1. Not sure what shipping would be like to you though.

Here is a link:

1000 Real Pachinko Balls Imported From Japan!! | eBay

[Drunkenclam]

I wonder

Spoiler

I got a box of 5000 coming from Japan. Should be here beginning of next month. Or just order plain 11mm ball bearings 5.5grams each, if you don't want genuine parlour balls. Work just as good, or import some from either Japan or thd US

whilst searching for other links today, I did find a manual for Woody Woodpecker,

so I thought I'd pop it here for you just in case

Sea Story is probably one of the most popular themes in Japan, they must like their fishies

I get confused with all the Sea Story pachi models, which one are you looking at getting?

Is it this 2002 Sanyo one?

** edit** I can't see any manuals for any of the Sea Story ones, apart from a Nishijin Sea Study one, sorry

[robb]
