    Question Help with my poor translation skills

    Hi all

    I hope everyone is doing well. I'm hoping one of you bright sparks can assist with my poor translation skills.

    First of all a bit of info: most of my modern pachinko/pachislot machines have been sourced via either JP auctions or sites like Ratouken.

    Something I see quite often in the title of the slightly cheaper modern machines is "frame colour cannot be specified" or maybe it is closer to "No matter what color you choose, you can’t specify it".

    枠色指定不可 or LED不問 枠色指定不可

    All the machines listed like this that I have purchased previously have been the cell and correct frame so I am really hoping someone can help me out with the intended meaning here.

    The fact it's in the title beside "used" or "actual parlor machine" leads me to believe this is key information, maybe just a statement of quality eg. may have cosmetic frame damage and i'm just being a doofus.



    Thanks in advance.

    It’s not unusual for a machine to be available in different color frames; no picking a specific color is what they are implying; you get what you get. color of the frame doesn’t affect cell swapping capabilities.

    It's also about being ultra transparent to the customer. The machine is used. It may have scratches or blemishes on the case. If it arrives not perfect. Don't complain as you have been warned. Same way listing adverts items as junk. It means not tested and buyer beware. Cheapest pachi I brought was ¥500 as listed as junk. Apart from some tobacco browning the polished off. It worked fine.
