    Unhappy RIP Dad

    My dad passed away earlier this week so I am out on the East coast for a few days to sort out the usual things and attend his services here in Va. I know he's at peace now as he had several health issues the last couple years, so that part is a comfort, and the rest will just take time.


    Anyway, I thought I would share this with the group - One of his prized possessions that he wanted me to have is a 1950's Narita single shot that has had my eye since we brought it back from Okinawa in 1970. I know a couple other members have one(maybe 2 that I have seen anywhere). This one is a bit different from those as it was built without any lighting at all. Hope I can get it back to Utah in one piece. Best pachinko I ever played!

    i will get better shots of this later, but for now here's the Narita:

    Thanks to everyone for their support. Every member I have actually met in person or by phone has been great to meet up with and fun to buy/sell/trade with. This is just one of many reasons, but really the clincher, as to why this is still my favorite site.

    Sorry to hear about that Scott. Best wishes for you and the rest of your family moving forward.

    On another note that is a beautiful machine. I hope it has a nice podium spot within your collection.

    Finally got through the "stuff" in his house. Quite overwhelming. So many things with so many memories. Can't describe it.

    Sorry to hear about losing your father, Scott. You're dad left a fine legacy in who you are as a person and I'm sure that reflects on him and what kind of a man he was.
