Pachinko Manual /guide books?

[hanabi]

Quite a few Pachinko Manuals / Guide Books listed right now from a Seller in the US.
although the items are located in Japan...


Personally I feel the prices seem a little high...

They are written in Japanese and not sure which Machines some of them are for,
but there are Sea Story & New Sea Story ones listed...

Aren't these the magazines that parlors get that showcase all the new and upcoming machines at that time? Each one has 2-4 pages about the newest (and hopefully greatest) machines, and then lots of smaller ads for the currently available machines.

They are neat magazines, but I don't think they are worth quite that much...

I'm thinking that the Seller doesn't really know what they are,
but they would be nice to have and look at...

If only they weren't so high in price

I don't know...it says it is 75 pages but yes, very high in price!

[Rik1138]

Well, I meant 2-4 pages per machine, but there are many machines in each magazine, thus the 70-100 pages...

Sort of like a industry-wide catalog of what's currently available for parlors to buy, with the newest machines getting the most page-space...

Cute pics but written entirely in the Japanese language...
