    Default Random Craigslist browsing got me that itch... Hello!

    Hey everyone! Just wanted to make a thread here My name's Dan, I live in northern MA as a video editor and I just recently got into this addiction hobby.

    It all started a year ago while randomly browsing CL for something unique. I've always been a fan of arcade games and pinball machines but boy, those aren't cheap. Then I came across one listing for a "Hanabi slot machine" for very cheap nearby. I thought it looked really cool and decide to pick it up.

    ....then about 5 months ago I saw another, the next machine in the line, Don-Chan. Dang, I have to get that one too! It's like a set!

    ...about a week or so ago, I'm curious about Pachinko, hey this one's cheap let's try it out!

    Now there's a 4-reel Hanabi for the same cheap price about 20 minutes away but I have no more room. I have to sadly let that one go. I love learning more about these so I hope to stick around, everyone here seems super friendly.

    So, hello! Here's my setup, on my old computer desk. I'm curious, what was your first machine and do you still have it?

    Waving Hello and Welcome to PachiTalk!!

    my first Pachislo machine was an old Don Chan 2 (I thought it was called hanabi at the time, hence my user name)

    My first pachinko was the original Star Wars

    I still have every pachi, once they come over the doorstep they are here to stay

    I also have some pinballs too

    Welcome! My first pachinko was the Indiana Jones one and the only pachislo I have is Speed Racer. When I was in high school a friend had an older pachinko that we'd play over there. At the time I thought it was just a single ball machine... but I think that it was only a single ball machine because they only had a single ball for it.
