    Good for you, it sounds like you were a bit nervous with all these professional "snipers" around here. Enjoy your new toy.

    It was Yellow Cab at $202.50. Not bad since he can drive over and save shipping!

    yes, the yellow cab machine, i tried to get it last week but was sniped....

    will let you know the fun!!

    OMG I can't wait!!



    ps any suggestions as to how to set it up nicely?? Was thinking, maybe I should get some nonskid "feet" for it on the bottom? Any hints?

    Its been a long time, last pachinko I had was my dad's vintage....

    how many balls should I have? If I'm over there, might as well pick up some more balls!! AWGH I CAN"T WAIT!!

    at least another 1,000 balls.

    It still won't be enough for a jackpot round, but will make it a lot easier.

    $202.50 That's a bit off from what TA was going to sell it to PachiTalk members for at $400! Jeez, what a deal we missed out on.

    On purchases that sell for a price lower than what a dealer might expect, sometimes the difference is made up on "aftermarket" items.... like the auto industry, etc.

    Take a look to see what balls cost before you just decide to buy them there. TA's regular price is pretty high, IMHO. You did good... now don't get taken with balls. There are places to get good balls for 5 cents each or less.

    It's hard to pick up a machine without walking out carrying more than you wanted.

    For that machine, the only accessory I would need would be a bib, to catch the drool.

    Yes, I figured I was getting a good deal....

    1000 balls it is, how much should I not pay for extra 1000 balls?

    seeing as how I'm there and all.

    Should I get the baskets for the balls like I've seen on the pics?

    Do I need a ball lifter (I've heard of those don't have a clue as to what they are for...)...

    Well, any insight you have I appreciate!!

    check ebay for balls, thats usually the best place to get them. I won 2-1,000 lots from slotusa for about 60.00 total delivered.

    But, I had to clean them.

    OMG I can see me now tomorrow at TA....

    "OK you gonna need the ball lifter, extra 2000 balls, transformer, safety glasses, packing, etc. etc."....

    Just kidding!! They are great guys, I've talked to them before I'm sure it will be great!

    Game review to follow!

    Yes, avoid them for your balls. eBay is going to be much less expensive. You don't need a ball lifter but you might needs Logic's bib.

    Goldenstatetrader "2000 balls" auctions go for about $45 + $9.85 shipping.

    Yellow Cab for $202.50 and no shipping, that's great.

    Since they have changed their site prices based on what they get on ebay, maybe they will lower thier $330 Y.Cab price.

    Yeah right.

    By now, you should have awakened the video princesses from their nap and the Yellow Cab should be speeding about from stop to stop.

    What do you think?
