WTB a Vintage pachinko machine in the chicago IL area.

[jfitts23]

Lol. Gmwd i wasn't really looking at the ad with the 2 machines, i already have a pachislo.

mxfaiman and Mopar the one i posted some pics of he said he would take 40 for it. Think i'll try and grab it. I'll have to start a thread on it to see how to get it looking good and working again.

Today i just picked up a modern star wars pachinko machine. Couldn't beat the price. plus its star wars. If i get the vintage machine that will make 4 machines total in 2 weeks. this stuff is addicting.

[jfitts23]

Oh yea i found the star wars machine on a site called offerup. yall should check it out. On ebay people was wanting crazy prices for star wars machines, i only paid 200 for it.

[Gmwd]

Lol! I'm at 4 pachislo and 1 pachinko! As a fellow newbie I agree it is very addicting! It's nice to hear there is someone near my area buying! I'm in Bloomington :-)! Small world!

[Gmwd]

I will check out that site! Thanks

[jfitts23]

Now i need some cabinets or atleast those feets on the bottom for they can stand up on there own.

[jfitts23]

what do yall think about this one. he said it works but missing ball catcher.

[Gmwd]

What is he asking for it? You'd have to make a ball catcher for it. I use the 3d printer at my work for those type
of things. If you don't have access to something like that you can use that to "beat him down" on the price :-)

[jfitts23]

price is only 30 for that one. but i don't have resources to make one. the ball catcher isn't that just a container you put at the bottom to catch the balls?

[Gmwd]

I try for 15 :-) but id probably pay 30.00 for it. Can you go see it to make sure it works ? The real deal seems to be how many balls does it come with if its a lot snatch it up lol

[jfitts23]

I ll ask and see. i don't think neigther one i'm looking at comes with balls. And i'm figuring out also that i'm gonna need alot more.

[Gmwd]

its all about the balls :-) just like with pachis its all about the tokens

[jfitts23]

Whats the year and model and make of the machine i posted in post #26?

[jfitts23]

Does anyone sell 500 count of balls for less then $30. thats the cheapest i have found.

[Gmwd]

I'm not sure how you tell honestly. I'd suggest posting that question for others to answer who know. I'm not even sure what tells you the year made lol. Looks newer than mine. Both mine appear to be 70s. I would randomly guess mid 80s.

i honestly hasn't tried looking. I have found that you can buy a machine with balls cheaper than just the balls lol

[jfitts23]

I was hoping mxfaiman could chime in on the model year question.

Tomorrow i'm gonna go look at 2 vintage machines. The one guy said he would take 20 for the last pics machine i posted up.

[Gmwd]

Any balls or just the machine ? Them balls are like the tokens and can really break the bank lol

yes its missing the ball catcher.. 99% of all machines are missing the catcher.. the huge problem is your missing the upper hopper and you have to have one of thouse.. you can buy one but that gona cost ya another 30 or 40 bucks>>(thats a guess might be 50??)

it looks like a mid to later 70's machine i would guess 76 or 77.. by the 80's all machines were modern style with electro shooters no more flippers in the 80's..

to be honest i would pass on that machine.. if it were cheap i would consider it but its nearly a parts machine.. would be an easy fix but needs allot and allot of cleaning to make it nice..

keep the pics coming.. we will get ya on the right path for a starter..

Ok thanks. then i'll pass on this one. I guess i'll just go with the first one i posted the model A since that has all its parts and just needs a cleaning.

[Moparformances]

take a look at these.. it will give ya an idea what your going to look at befor ya get there.. and help ya make sure all the parts are there
