Ok. I'm stunned. One of my summer students who knows of my love for pachislo told me that she saw some machines. Well, I couldn't believe it, so I went to check.

Right there on the shelf, 4 machines. Arraking, Mephisto, Babel, and one other I can't recall.

Where you might ask...? ACE Hardware. (National ACE downtown for you Milwaukeeans)

ACE. For Pachis. I just can't wrap my brain around that. I know they have weird stuff (it's an OLD hardware store), but pachis?

Hanging above them was a sign. "Regular price $799.99, SALE $299.99" So no deal to be sure, but I was still very suprised.

A hardware store.
