Vintage and modern - $25 each!

[Siouxzan]

Here are some pics of the 2 machines I picked up the other day.
I beat the guy down to $25 each.

One is a Sankyo Sports theme in great condition.
The other is a Nishijin Model A single shot, which I've been looking for. It's not in as bad of shape as it might look. I may need to rechrome the frame.

I for one find the latter extremely attractive. The modern was just frosting on the cake. I'm quite frankly giddy like a schoolgirl on Christmas morning, whatever that means.

I have a neighbor/friend who takes a great deal of pride in capturing every pachinko machine for sale in Western Washington and offering to sell it to me. The price always ranges from $200 to $500. Um, no. This one frustrated him. I did something very naughty to distract him from getting these, and I really need to confess someday, but that is a story for another time. It had the added bonus of making the seller feel desperate to sale.
I'm naughty.
