Go here, click the left most of the second row, then the right most of the top row.


Thanks for the challenge!

Bought that $50 one then came on here to see if anyone had mentioned it. You guys were hours ahead of me. I can't believe no one scooped it up. I just hope I don't get killed on shipping. First pachinko ftw!

Welcome to PachiTalk johnnya

and congrats on your Pachinko bargain!!

[dattia]

The shipping should be somewhere between $80 and $100, I would think.

[MrGneiss]

Welcome and congratulations on your 1st pachinko purchase!!

I never bid on anything without a set shipping price.

I got burned once, the seller charged for professional packing at a shipping store.

they threw the items in a box and put in a bunch of small air bags.

I could have done a much better job.

[johnnya]

Thanks everyone. I figured it would be between $60 and $100. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

[jmaclerran]

When you get it, be sure and post pix, and tell about your delivery.

Since it is an older machine it will be nice to see what it does.

[johnnya]

Just an update--still waiting on a shipping price. She just bought the box for it on Friday... She's very nice at least.

[johnnya]

Still don't have the machine, but the shipping was $82.

[hanabi]

Still don't have the machine, but the shipping was $82.

That price sounds pretty reasonable to me,

hope it arrives soon for you

Congrats on your first pachinko machine! and welcome to pachitalk! keep us updated! Lets see some gameplay videos!

[johnnya]

Finally received it yesterday. They didn't do a great job packing it, but it came in one piece. They didn't take the balls out of the machine though, so there were loose balls all over the box. It seems to work ok, but every time I fill the reward hopper, it just shoots balls into the shooting tray. I'm assuming this is because it hasn't paid out the backlog of reward balls. I'm not that familiar with pachinkos, this being my first. There are only enough balls in the machine to just be able to trigger the payout.

Anyone have any suggestions as to how many balls I should buy and where I should get them?

[MrGoodBurn]

Congrats!

I think you are correct abut the backlog of payouts. That's a common issue when there aren't enough balls for the machine. People just keep playing and never fill the hopper. You should have minimum of 500 balls, but I recommend at least 1000 for a better playing experience.

Hiro has Pachinko balls cheap... You can contact him at gameplanett@yahoo.com


Enjoy, and post pics and videos when you can.

Ah, ok. I thought so... I've sent an e-mail to Hiro. Thanks for your help. I'm going to hold off on pics until I get more balls though. It's not very frantic right now.

[johnnya]

Got the balls from Hiro yesterday. Put them in and it immediately shot 200 or so back into my tray, haha. Guess there was quite the backlog. Everything looks good. Once I figure out the intricacies of the machine, I'll post a video.
