Soccer teams - pachi conversions

[Mike]

Hello all, I just saw this on Ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/slot-fruit-vid...QQcmdZViewItem

and it got me wondering.

If you were to convert a machine as a dedication to a football/soccer team, which machine would you convert and why? For instance, some might say that the machine above has been converted from a Million God - boring as hell to watch! (sorry any Chelsea fans!). Any other suggestions for sports teams welcome.

I could think of a few teams who could use the Million god conversion..

and not necessarily football...

couldnt make the damn playoffs...

I just want to know the trick to making the whole thing an icky washed out yellow color.

That's a Net Machine, it looks like a Zett or Surprise Model.

It may be 30 Pai tokens too!!!!!

The music and sound is good for customs, Arby did one.

Of course his was a Masterpiece

How many hours does it take to do such a conversion? I often see ones for Beatles and Elvis on Ebay and they always seem to go for £200 plus. Is it worth buying a cheaper pachi, doing a conversion and selling on? I suppose it depends on how much love and attention you put into it.

[Sid]

Im sure it would be worth it if you did it well enough and where able to find the right buyer at the right time looking for that exact theme...

[Mike]

Certainly some food for thought.....

A KISS conversion just went for $315 on ebay so I guess it pays for the right theme. It went to a KISS fan as all of the bidders seemed to be KISS fans by their names and bidding histories.

Cheers Eddie, looks like rock groups might be the way to go!

Just imagine what a rush there will be for the Queen one! :

There have been numerous threads/discussions/arguments about this very thing. If you do a search for custom you should come up with a bunch of threads on the subject.

Cheers Lddrizzt, I remember seeing the one you did. Very nice indeed. Good suggestion, I think I'll have a little search.

Good suggestion, I think I'll have a little search.

You will be surprised as to how many threads there are about this.
