Cool old thing

[arbycoffee]

Just eat your meal out, and you can buy fun machines.

[Tulsa]

Couldn't she just have her meal's delivered from "HER" restaurant? Why cook at home? Buy toys instead!

[dattia]

I did mention before that I am feeling guilty about this kitchen reno...since I don't cook. Who knows, I might start.

[Tony Junior]

Dattia, just buy a cheap microwave for your home kitchen. Then you can say you got new appliances (okay, maybe even a new can opener) and do like the rest have said, buy TOYS!

[dattia]

That is a great idea...but I'm thinking Dear Hubby might disagree.

[Tony Junior]

Does he cook at home? If not, tell him to pound sand!

(You know I'm kidding!)

[dattia]

He is actually a much better cook than I am. Seeing as how he is probably sitting on the beach on the Mediterranean Sea as we speak, that pounding sand thing is quite do-able.

[dattia]

I see, good find, but can I get it at Sears????

[photos8484]

Dattia: just have a drive up window installed instead of a kitchen renovation. Order what you want. No more... "you know I hate that****" ("Shut up & eat!"). No more UFOs (Unidentified Food Objects) in the fridge. No more mold monkeys. No more vegetable bin compost.No more smoke alarms going off (HEY- MOM'S COOKIN!!!).

[dattia]

Now that's a good idea, don't know why I didn't think of it myself!

[MrGneiss]

Here's a very interesting setup. I guess this is how they do it in China.

And heres an older pachinko with some BOLD graphics. It also seems to be all metal in back.

In the UK our old equivalent Pachinko machines were call ALLWAYS. Heres a link for some photographs of machines. I had a few very old damaged ones kicking around about 4 years ago and passed them on to an old friend of a friend who used to make them when they were new. He was about 85years old and wanted to restore them. Must look him up and see how he's done..

This link was found by just searching Allways machines.

Oh no! MrG, don't post things like that. Nooooooo!

That four posters pachinko is not even an hour from my house. And something so odd with such high shipping will probably not get many bids.

*sigh* I might as well build an addition on the house to put all this stuff in. And get rid of my other half before I get killed for buying them all.

[PachisloUk]

OOPS silly me

I mean ALLWINS.......

If I lived anywhere near that I'd have to buy it. that is one very cool setup!

[MrGneiss]

The 4 sided pachinco went for $152.50 + $299 shipping.

[PachiFool]

Someone got a sweet deal. If I get a few more machines I may try to build something similar.

"This is a pre-war vintage game and has been housed in my clean, dry, odor free basement since the mid 1970's."

We dont have many basements down here. A lot of solid slab concrete in TX & most surrounding states. So when I think of basements, the above description is not exactly what comes to mind.

[Tony Junior]

So Doo, do you live in Texas or Misssouri? They are different, I think.

[doodude]

Im from TX & moved to MO 2 years ago.
In both states we had/have a pier beam foundation & the house is raised a few feet off the ground & the pipes etc run underneath.
And where its mostly clean, dry & odor free, I dont think Id want to store anything other than dead bodies wrapped in heavy plastic filled with lime.
Oops!!!

[Tony Junior]

Well by golly, another Texan living as an outcast in another state --- I always thought I was the only one who moved away from God's Country!

[Bobby]

I still live here in the great state and my house is 12 feet off the ground. I park my car under the house. Only problem is them darn stairs.

[azlew]

Bobby : Nice Avatar.....I just sit and watch it and watch it

[MrGneiss]

Less then two weeks later and it's back up.

I guess they just bought it so they could clean it?

[Tulsa]

Well they are trying to make $18 on it. I like that case. Put four modern pachinkos in there and you really have a space saving design.

[azlew]

....I like that case. Put four modern pachinkos in there and you really have a space saving design.

You got that right. That is the best looking space saver I have ever seen for combining more than one Pachinko in a case. I think I'll have my son there go over and look at it.

[arbycoffee]

I shopped it up big and you would need to remove the new Pachinko from it's frme and re hang them in the cube.
I think As Lew said use the design and set it so you could just slide in the frame and all.

[Lddrizzt]

And if you are making your own, add a couple inches to the top for one huge ball dispensing area, no more trying to hit the little funnel on your case leave the whole top open with a closable hole over each hopper. This has potential.

[MrGneiss]

Less than 18 hours left on this one.
