Oldest Machine

[Tulsa]

I don't have room for one more machine and here I am getting at least two, maybe three more!

Egad, what an addiction!

Tony, at some point you're just going to have to do what is necessary, take the bull by the horns as it were and get a proper grip on this addiction. You're going to have to simply cease and desist, stop trying to force so many machines into your home.

Tony, you're going to have to buy a larger home, that's all there is to it.

Well actually, I had a better idea for his dilemma. There is a certain lady in PA that still finds herself with only one machine. (I won't mention any names) I am sure she would be willing to house some of his machines for him at no charge.

Something with say 40ty rooms, should do you for a while.

Tulsa, Dattia, Arby, I don't want to get a grip on my addiction! Besides, I just bought 6000 tokens and need machines to put them in! That makes sense, doesn't it?

And a lady friend is moving, she brought over a long dresser that is now in my living room. She says when the move is complete she won't need it any more and I can have it. It's perfect for two bright, flashy pachinkos, maybe three!

I almost wish I had my Dad's old 5 bedroom house, but it's in Houston.

Well you know they have no idea what they are selling here as the estimate it to be 60lbs. The shipping calculator shows $24.91 to ship to Tulsa...

When I bought my Twist on e-bay, the calculator said something like $26. Even though the ad stated "buyer responsible for all shipping", I was only charged the $26 bucks. I was fully expecting to see another charge for the additional shipping, but it never came. (might have something to do with the fact that the machine did not work. I guess he didn't have the nerve).

Tony, interior designers say that you only need a minimum of 18 inches of walking clearance around your furnishings. I'll bet with a little creative rearranging, you could have as many machines as you desire (or your wallet will afford). Play on.

[Tony Junior]

Hey, that works for me, Dattia!

One, possibly two of the machines are going to my nephews office. Move the Pachinkos to the living room, move the two older machines to his office, that gives me room for four new machines and I'll still have room for more in the LR!

Then there's the kitchen, breakfast area...HOT DOG, I can get several more before I start shipping them to PA!

[dattia]

I'll wait Tony. After all, patience is a virtue.

[Tulsa]

Tony, have a chat with Lucky Dog. He's a master at space utilization.

[luckydog]

Tony i have 15 pachislos in my living room plus 2 pachinkos. If I got rid of my couch I could fit 4 more in.

5 in my front bedroom, 4 in my back bedroom and 2 in my kitchen.

I haven't got to double stacking like VGC yet!!!!

I have loads of other stuff I've collected over the years and can't bring myself to get rid of it.

I come from a long line of packrats.

P.S. I live in a 12 by 60 mobile home.

[dattia]

If you can fit all of that in a 12'x60' mobile home, then you really are the Master

[Tony Junior]

Lucky, you sound like my Dad...and to a large degree, me! I still have room on my dresser for at least one more machine.

[luckydog]

when you think of it each machine only takes up 2 square feet, but you need playing room in front of it.

so i'm only using 56 square feet for my machines.

so that leaves 664 square feet for me and Samson

and he doesn't need much room

[Tony Junior]

I like the way you think, Lucky!

Here's one from 1980 http://www.yamasa.co.jp/

Pulsar The first machine which the mountain 佐 should commemorate, as for the pulsar 0 1975 age it is announced halfway the machine. When 7, the design of BAR and the watermelon is even, オーソドック it was the type as that time when it rushes to the bonus game. But, in should being surprised already concept of the reach eye exists in this machine, the person who knows being to be proud of the leading game characteristic which is known, does. The first pulsar which is starting point of the mountain 佐 pulsar series just can be ahead 10 years that it was the pioneer of the times when it goes.

Interesting machine. Certainly looks to be a Yamasa model and it's been converted for quarter use. Notice the keylock in the upper right hand corner. This is the same conversion that was done on the so-called "Dune's" machines. We had one guy trying to sell one and it would take 99 credits, not the standard 50. I don't think anyone knows where these conversions were done or by whom or why. Maybe this is the Cruiseline slot?

The keylock in the upper right corner is to access the service area (turn key one way) or the main compartment (turn key the other way). I know absolutely Nothing about this machine except I got it in Florida and the stop buttons don't work.

[arbycoffee]

you drop the coin and the reels spin ?

how do they stop ?

[Tulsa]

Remember the other one we saw like this had the stop buttons removed. Maybe these are non-functional but left in place.
