17 Vintage machines in Cali

[PachiNC]

Looks like there are some very desirable machines in this lot. Several power flashes, other electro-mechanicals.

Yes... extremely tempting... and Spider138 has been attempting to ply me with promises of booze and other fun things to go in with him on the batch.

The seller won't break apart the group. I just don't have the space. When you have one pachinko in your house whose sole purpose is to prop open the front door, you have too many.

I hear that, Im an apartment dweller with three pachis a slo crammed in my bedroom and another pachi in storage. The tripline, the mizuho and the maruto big top are the only ones really tempting me and I dont think I have the space for one more let alone 17

has anyone sent bonsaimaster a link to this...

I saw this posting and I can't believe this. Why is JohnQ getting rid of all of them!? If I were him, i would die before i sold any one of these machines. Whoever gets their hands on these machine is one lucky guy. I'm surprised Mr. Al hasn't gotten a plane ticket to cali to come pick them all up. For 4K, this is a steal!!

Hey guys quick update. John just told me that the collection was sold. Was it you Mopar??? Well whoever it was congratulations. These are some pretty amazing machines!!!

Would have loved to seen pics. Unfortunately, the posting was taken down before I could. Just found out today, my company has blocked PachiTalk from being accessed from work.

[bonsaimaster1]

Sorry to hear that Card Shark. I totally forgot to put up some pictures. I'm surprised no one else put some pictures up either. Sorry about that...

[Card Shark]

No worries. Not in the market for new additions right now. I still have my Computer Pachinko project to focus on. Also need to track down a ball lifter to complete my heavily modified Power Flash. Decided it best to finish up the last two projects before taking on anything else.

I also have a 2nd Arrangeball that I may work on getting straight.

[bonsaimaster1]

Nice. I have always wanted a ball lifter. I've seen quite a bit on ebay, but have never decided to buy one. Good luck with your projects! Make sure to keep all of us updated on the finished products. I would love to see some pics of them as well when you get a chance.

[Moparformances]

nope was not me..

[bonsaimaster1]

Sorry about that Mopar, it was worth a guess since like you said, " i know thouse machines.. i have had my hands in every one of them.. " I would of thought you would of been the first one on top of this deal. But of course, it is 17 pachinkos and $4,400. So you would need a lot of room, and some pretty big pockets to square this deal. Well if anyone has any new information, please share.

[Moparformances]

i have a perty good idea. but not my place to post... if the buyer wants to post then thats there option to join

[bonsaimaster1]

Completely understand!

[Moparformances]

after talking with others i now have a better idea.. but still not my place.. i would have thought someon would have joined in and posted??

they might be waiting till the machines are in there hands??

[Drunkenclam]

Not me Gov

[luckydog]

I didn't win the lottery, so, it wasn't me either

So brother John decided to let the nicer ones go huh. I saw those when I went to pick up 60 vintage machines from him. They were all really nice machines all with really nice cabinets built by mopar. (Great job) I would say I wished he sent me an email but then again I'm barely able to house 101 machines and I don't really feel up to another trip to Sacramento now. (or have the cash )

Hope those wonderful machines went to a good home and that John is doing alright.
