    Default Nishijin Powerflash (Thunderbird)

    Vintage Nishijin Supra Deliuxe Pachinko Machine | eBay

    Says "needs rewiring" but all mechanical parts work*. But currently only at 99 cents. Likely will go higher (duh)...

    * how can you tell all the mechanical parts work if it needs rewiring? These are solenoid driven, ne?
    Woof!

    One guys opion on "working" could be different than what really should work. When you drop a ball in the tulip it works weather the machine is on or not...just doesn't do the multiple closing and opening it suppose to do. Too bad the guy won't ship! Overall it looks like its a clean machine.

    Hmm... seems to say it will ship, but "varies"... I messaged the seller to be sure (and said to cancel my bid if he/she wouldn't be able to drop it at a UPS Store or the like)

    Hopefully they'll cancel tho... didn't see that stain... yech...
    Woof!

    He can ship it. I followed up with a few other questions about what happens when it's plugged in, etc. Actually wanted to know my best offer - he'd pull the auction and ship it tomorrow... but in these cases, I'm going to play by the rules so I can get the ole Ebay/Paypal buyer guarantee.
    Woof!

    That machine is interesting. I wouldn't have the seller plug it in. Seeing that there are 2 transformers on it so if they are hooked up wrong

    Scratch that chumsize...I just looked at it closer and it is just the shadow of the flash! MY BAD!

    He's going to miss out on a lot of bids if people don't think he's going to ship it...which is good for you chumsize! I'm staying out of this one...I already have my power flash from Moparformance and happy as can be!

    a few thought..

    one trans for lights one for solonoids... not the best pic of the back..

    the lights are not hooked up right??? could ahve been rewired inside the box but the power is applyed to the wrong leads...

    seems like it would be worth a look... but i would not get to carried away with bids

    So - He didn't answer my "have you plugged it in" question... which sounds like it might not have been a good idea, anyway.

    Only said "yes the tulips open and close". Which apparently doesn't say too much...

    Eh... If I get it, I get it... My high bid isn't that high, and will be easily snipe-able. Don't think y'all have to hold out if you want it. Seriously. I'm totally overstocked now...
    Woof!
