    ok i really sent the wife on a tear with this one. i found it on cl 10 machines 200 bucks. called him and offered 125 and he took it! the threw in about 2000 balls and gave me info of when and where he bought them. been in storage since mid 1980s. all need a really good cleaning but all work good surprisingly. i figured id post and see if anything looks different or rare. i really dig the sankyo one and the two matching bowling ones also the ufo one is cool. let me know.

    I really like the Nishijins, #1 and #4, and the SAnkyo at #7!

    and I'm not even a vintage guy!!!

    There is always another machine around the corner...

    Nice haul. I bet the wife is REALLY PO'ed!
    I'm not addicted to Pachinkos. I can quit at any time. Did I tell you about the three machines that I have on the way?
