Greetings from Limburg The Netherlands

Hi all!

After 5 years I finally got around to it. After searching and monitoring the Dutch and German auction and market places for several months I got my first 2 Pachinko machines.
For me the crave began during an internship in Japan (2010) where I played a Lupin Pachinko:

Actually I'm still searching for the exact same type > to get one of those is my ultimate goal.
However... I haven't seen this machine being sold around these parts so far.

So I finally decided it would be wise to start with some other machines. You know, to get into the scene

My first one (acquired 3 weeks ago) is:
Shin Umi Monogatari

And yesterday I managed to get a newer type:
Macross Frontier

The Macross needs some work though > cleaning is really necessary and I still need to figure out how to add some volume controls sinds it's crazy loud.
But I have no doubt that I'll find all there is to know on the forum here.

Kind Regards

I would definitely take the plunge for that one

So far I have not found an economically good way to get them from yahoo auctions and ship them to the Netherlands.
It also gives a sour taste when the transport costs are more than the machine costs itself.
