Anyone know what is going on at Pachislo.com?

[kretter]

I don't know if anyone has seen this yet but Syscom/Pachislo.com has a posting that they are chaging starting April 1st and they are no longer taking retail orders? They have been a great vendor to deal with and I am hoping that they will still be around.

I saw that over the weekend also and sent them an email asking if we would still be able to purchase their machines or if we should 'get while the getting is good' so to speak. As soon as I hear back from them I'll follow up on this post.

I bought a machine from them in December, and the quality and condition was fantastic, and their packaging is superb. I'd really hate to see them shift focus away from the individual machines. If I was a gambling man...... oh wait, too late for that......... ok, well, I'd almost hazard a guess that they are going to focus more on bulk imports and sales and offer their services as a supplier to businesses that actually sell the machines to us. I just hope that isn't the case.

I sent them an e-mail if that applied to parts also. I realy like there volume controls and the 7amp transformers are nicely priced. I might have to stock up.

[rbinkerd]

I saw this too:

pachislo.com will be completely transformed from April 1st, 2007.

*We are sorry, currently we do not sell pachislo and pachinko machines by retail.

We are accepting container purchase orders

I've purchased a few machines from them (slots). Super BlackJack and Street Fighter 2 within the last month or so. Looks like dollar shipping is still a go.

I'd like to get a Beast Sapp at the price they have, but need to sell a few of what I have first.

Maybe the prices with take a downward turn towards the end of March?

I tried to order some parts yesterday and everything I wanted was out of stock.:sigh1: I hope their not getting out of the parts biz too.

[Chrisdice]

Yea I saw that too. I wanted to pick up a few transformers and they were all out.

[Bullwinkle]

Same goes for all their pachislo and pachinko machines. Every single one shows out of stock. They never have answered my email query from last weekend. It's a real shame to lose a respectable vendor with quality products.

Sorry to say but they are now out of the game. I purchased all of their volume controls and numerous bulbs with sockets and without sockets. They have always been great to me and I have nothing but great things to say about them. Kaori and Steve are two of the nicest people you could ever know. Thank you very much.

Sorry to say but they are now out of the game.

Would you care to elaborate?
Stating that that they will be completely transformed Apr. 1st kinda tells us that they are not out of game as you put it.

[coronetgtx]

Sure I will elaborate. For the last month they have been slowly selling everything in their warehouse. And I mean everything. I have bought tokens, bulbs,I even bought their scale to count tokens with. Machines dirt cheap if picked up. Think about this, $1 shipping? What vendor would ship for a $1 without jacking prices. Anyway, today Friday March 9 2007 they will close and will not be shipping anymore. They had a "yard sale" to sell tape, chairs desks, even those litte coolers were selling 2 for $20.

[slotter]

Wow...

[Lddrizzt]

Thanks for the elaboration.
Now that is a bummer.
Who else sells those little volume controls that they had? I really liked those.

[drcrippen324]

well thats defanetly completely transformed and they are way ahead of schedule

[birdbrain]

Vince has them at Autoslot but the are not on the board. @ $1.00 each as many as you want with $1 shipping. i go through lots of them with no probs

[H20Dreams]

Wow... That sucks. No more volume controls. Are autoslots comparable? Install the same and handle the output?

[birdbrain]

they are the identical units but not installed on a board

[coronetgtx]

Actually I purchased all of their volume controls, a total of 4,000. I have both the 501, used on most machines and also the 103 controls used in the smaller speakers for Sammy mschines. All volume controls are attatched to the board.

[H20Dreams]

so you cut a wire speaker wire and solder like the other pots?

[coronetgtx]

Yes you cut the speaker wire and solder. I will post a picture if you like.

[birdbrain]

so will you be offering these on the auction site or are you planning on purchasing a couple thousand machines?
