    Default 2 machines Speed Racer and one other - Looking for value

    Hi, I have 2 Pachislo machines in excellent used condition. One is Speed Racer. The other I have no idea - it has a blue guy and a red guy, that's all I can tell lol. I am looking to sell these and hoping someone could help tell me what they are worth. I am completely clueless on these machines, stumbled across this site and figured I'd try here. As soon as I get some photos I'll try and post them. Thank you in advance for any help or advice.

    Hello bball and welcome

    Photos will be very helpful when you do get them and of the inside and outside if possible. There are several versions of the Speed Racer machine and I've seen the first one fetch $100-200 as long as everything is functional throughout the game play. Speed Racer is somewhat a collectible which helps the price. Another thing to help the prices along is if there are any extras included like tokens, volume controls installed, etc. Prices are also going to be what someone is willing to pay. Meaning you could have a machine that someone has been looking for over a long time or you could have a very common type that will go for $50.

    Sorry, struggled with photo uploads. I also have what appears to be several hundred tokens.

    Thanks for the pictures as other members may recognize any issues happening there. I can’t say that I see any but others know more than I.

    The Speed Racer is from 2004 and I believe the first of two styles that came out that year with two more in later years. It is a fun one which I picked up a month ago. I have wanted this one for a long time and gave a guy $225 for his that was locally for sale. His was super clean inside and out, had about 400 tokens, and a few other extras. To me it was a fair price but I also really wanted it for a long time. Others may read this and say no way. I have passed on several others that were $200+ for just the machine over the past three years.

    The second machine I do not recognize off hand. Hopefully you have keys or a key to open the outer door and for the lock type switch on the power supply? The key switch is for resetting the machine and changing the odds, sometimes replaced with a push button or toggle switch.

    I would guess that you have 400-500 tokens per bag. They look like they were never opened. Not new but cleaned and bagged for resale from overseas. The going rate is around $40-$50 per thousand on eBay. I had once come up with 525 loose tokens is equal to 6 pounds using a digital kitchen scale if you want to get an idea of what is there without opening the bags. Or you could open one and count them out.

    I found the following for the other machine. The title is "Yajikita" from 2003 by Mizuho (now under Universal).

    Here is some more detail someone wrote up with a lot of pictures.

    Others should come around and hopefully offer you some opinions. Some come by daily, some weekly. So do check in for any more info left for you. And if you have any questions then feel free to ask.

    Thanks so much, you both have been very helpful! Would anyone know what the Yajikita is worth, or what it should sell for? Thanks.

    There was someone here in vegas about 4 months ago selling a yajikita for $200 in very good condition, very loud machine though.
