Oh yes, it will be mine can't control myself

[Siouxzan]

Need to go clear out another cubby to conceal this little beauty from the wifey.
I'm a baaaaaaaad man...

Sanyo Comet II Vintage Pachinko Game

[Moparformances]

that machine has some real nice color

[Siouxzan]

Yeah, I really like the looks of it.
Hope the cell is in decent shape.
I just got off the phone with the guy. As it turns out, he works about half a block from where I do, so we're conducting a covert parking lot deal in the morning.
I'm scared to bring it home, but I figure, what the heck-- I need one of these in my office anyway.

[SikNLow]

Congrats on the purchase and good luck on the covert insertion!

[Siouxzan]

"Wow what is that?"
A Pachinko Machine
"Nice, so what is it?"

Reminds me of the seller on the phone tonight.
"So, is it fully functional?"
"I'd be able to tell you if I had any idea what it's supposed to do."

[hanabi]

Oh beautiful cell colours!!

Of course I always want to know what the centre pieces are, so will be looking forward to some close up pics when you get it, hopefully

[outdoorenth]

Wow, very nice! Love the colors and interested in seeing a close up pic of the center piece too.

[will]

looks real nice imn into moderns but ive beeen looking at vintages and they look ssoooooo cool (playfield colour wise)

[Siouxzan]

And the deed is done.
She's a beaut and in near mint condition.
Came with a cool base cabinet that it sits on and at least 700 balls!
$25.
Beat my neighbor to it, barely.

I will simply say this about the matter:

[JACKSJE4]

Congrats! Where are the pictures!?

[Siouxzan]

I'm at work right now, on the interenet and sneaking around the parking lot buying pachinkos covertly, both of which are against company policy.

I'll bring my camera tomorrow, set it up in my office, and send some pics along. I don't dare bring it home. Yikes.

Amazing deal - great find!

What do they say? It's easier to do wrong and ask for forgiveness, than miss out on a great deal entirely? At least, I think that's what they say...

Yes, I think my new stance should be, "So, you're saying I should NOT buy a cool vintage machine with 700 balls for $25? And you're saying I'M the crazy one?!"

I just visited my car to look at it. My fellow workers think I'm weird (still). Trying to figure out why it's called "Three Ocean," but, no matter-- it's beautiful.

[luckydog]

tell your wife you went to buy the balls and they gave you the pachinko free

[chmer01]

Hey LD I like that one. I think I'll try in on my next pachinko purchase.

[Siouxzan]

tell your wife you went to buy the balls and they gave you the pachinko free

I used that exact excuse last time (and it happened to be true)
1: She wouldn't believe that this keeps happening.
2: She'd say something like, "Maybe if you didn't keep acquiring machines, you wouldn't need so many balls."

three oceans = sanyo

are there 3 oceans near japan?

your wife will be worn down and come to the dark side. mine is very supportive now, and both mom and she were impressed how much fun our guests had at the party, so I foresee a much easier time. also, I sold or traded 6 last month, so at least I look to be trying

[Siouxzan]

Here's the center of my new Sanyo Three Ocean cell:

Ohhhh... ahhhh... pretty.
