    Default Hello from Minnesota!

    Just wanted to take a moment to introduce myself and to say a big thank you to the forum for all of the information gathered here. I recently picked up my third pachinko machine (a 2008 Sanyo American Dream) and found this forum searching for info on it. My first two machines were a 1973 Nishijin first Gen recycler and a 1976 Sanyo Comet II. I have been enjoying the hobby now for about a year and already collected three machines, before long I will need to address the space issue... Thankfully I have a VERY understanding wife! Thank you again to everyone that has contributed here over the years, I look forward to being able to add my experiences and knowledge!

    I live in the southeastern (toe of the boot so to speak) part, across the river from La Crosse WI. I used to live up in the cities area however, I lived in Inver Grove, Savage, and then finally in Eden Prairie... Litteraly just down the road from where "old man Johnson's farm" used to be if you are familiar with Prince songs.

    Yeah it can get a bit on the "chilly" end of the thermometer around here lol. I like to say that despite what most people believe, we do have all four seasons in Minnesota... Sweat, swat (mosquitos are the real scourge), shovel, and road construction!
