    Default Sometimes you get lucky..

    Dude on Craigslist posted a vague ad that he wanted to offload his pachi machines. Got 2 pachinko and 3 pachislots (albeit older) for 120.00 👌

    Downside: machines were wayyy gross, balls and tokens had to be washed. After a through cleansing, they aired out in my garage for a week to defunk.

    I left out the other pachislot photos to avoid cross-threading.

    Lucky! Just the Yellow cab is worth that; at least! Most CL sellers in my area typically believe their cruddy old vintage machines are worth a small fortune; and moderns are few and far between, but also typically overpriced!😒 That said, there are hidden gems out there occasionally!

    Last weekend, I made the trek to Akron, Ohio.

    Got a heck of a deal on a lot of machines.

    -Freddy vs. Jason
    -Jaws (2008 timeframe)
    -KISS
    -Beast SAPP (pachislot)

    KISS is a pretty fun game! I can live without the others I picked up

    I'd like to see the other Pachislots you have...from first and second post on this thread. PS. How is Jaws? Is that the one without the animatronic barrels but the big teeth around everything?

    It’s the exact one you mentioned. I spent a ton of time reconditioning it. Two things that were painful.

    1. Taking the ball processor apart was a bad idea. Like the entire machine, it was filthy. But required much much care to reassemble.

    2. Had to disassemble the frame. There’s little strips of wood in the center of the top and bottom. They were in really poor shape and I couldn’t attach temp feet.

    Jaws works great, but it’s not for me. Doesn’t hold my attention for more than a min.

    I’ll attach a photo of the other Pachislos’ a bit later.

    I really love my JAWS machine and my Beast Sapp is probably the one that gets played most when company comes over. Sounds like some great finds.
