Looking for Pachinko collector to interview for new web series.

[Hunter/Gatherer]

Hello,
im working on a new web series about collectors and am on the search for a pachinko machine collector with a sizable cache of machines to interview. I'm based in the Los Angeles area but would be willing to travel to its surrounding areas to shoot the interview. Please ( PM )email if interested. Thanks!

Hello

Welcome to PachiTalk!!

As this is posted in the Vintage section, is it just vintage pachinko you are looking for?

Just to confirm for our members

We have a bunch of pachi members in California it all depends if you Choose the Red or the Blue Pill Then you'll see how far the rabbit hole goes

Define the term "sizable".

Also, I presume you would like to find someone with a large collection of working machines, correct?

I'm your man.

I have close to 95 Machines and I'm in the Orange County Area.

Forgot to mention that all my machines are vintages and I only have a select few that I play. But would be more than happy to haul some out for you to look at if you want.

If you want post a comment on my blog with your email and I'll get in touch with you. Never Pachinko: About Us

Ah... the excesses of Orange County...
Knew a girl from Cameo Shores/Corona Del Mar who owned close to 500 pairs of shoes... and they weren't sneakers.

Just looked at your blog Max! I might have to store my machines in another area of my house when I start (continue what I started) gutting my living room and changing it into a game room. Do you have any pics or specs on your 2X4 storage rack? Looks like more machines can be stored in less space that way. I can figure it out myself...but was really looking for any problems or pitfalls you encountered along the way that I can avoid. Plus only one comment on your blog...deleted by blog administrator. How bad was the comment that it was deleted?

I don't have any specs on my rack but I can get them for you if you would like. I actually built the rack with wood that was left over when I got that lot of 60 machines. Each unit is able to hold 8 machines and there are about 6 units. And it clears the top of the garage door by about 2 inches. I have yet to have an issue with my rack system. (well the only issue is when you want a machine at the bottom you usually have to pull 8 others out to get it.)

The comment wasn't bad. It wasn't a member here it was someone locally who was curious about getting a machine restored. I pulled the comment because it had his email in it.

@ pachiwall

That link I used for my blog is just the about us page. If you use the one in my signature it will take you to the homepage where you can see my projects and stuff. (You can find the pages on the side menu too.)

That sounds awesome. Can you "PM" me so we can get in contact. New to this forum stuff and can't figure out how to PM you.
