[Gmwd]

Ok guys here's the deal... I have an offer of 40ish vintage pachinko machines in varying condition for a great price 2.hours from me. Is this a member here? Is anybody near me looking to beef up their collection ? Lol. Holy crap! 40 machines!!!!!

[Spyder138]

I once bought a batch half that size and had to rent a cargo van. You're going to need an 18 wheeler. Hahaha.

[Gmwd]

Lol right ! Maybe a 2nd workshop lol

brother max bought a huge bunch from a local guy that became a member... i dont remember the count but it was nearly 40 machines..

stacked them like wood in a small u-haul trailer... top to bottom.. face to face.. then back to back so the trays did not get broken..

i know there are pics some where but i cant find them

[Mrtoad]

I would get home to find the front door lock changed... ;-)

[Gmwd]

Lol mrtoad im convincing aomeone to rent me some indoor atorage space to avoid that ! Haha

[Mrtoad]

Ok here is the update...I'm going to pick up the lot of machines this month. Apps 50 total machines...the lady has given approval. I have high hopes to start modeling many parts for various pachinko so I can print replacements on my printers. Should be a good long project that hopefully helps some people out in the future :-). #savethepachinkos

:-). I'll add some photos of shipment :-)

[Lt Teddy]

Alot of pictures please.

[Drunkenclam]

Lets hope you can get a quick turn around of some and take the Missus out to dinner.

[Gmwd]

Lets hope so :-) she gets dinner made for her all next week as a "thank you for not leaving" haha. She is starting to get into pachinko im proud to say (maybe giving up and accepting is a better phrase lol) so she has a few modern machines she wants. So a few modern machines she gets! One down 3 to go lol.

[Gmwd]

So the total count is 54 and one power flash which is my only one and thank you so much it will look great in its permanent home!

here is how I moved them and them in their temporary spot until I can start getting pictures.

some are parts machines that I can possibly bring back in some way most are all there. Ready to be cleaned played and loved. What is the best way to add photos for everyone to see? If there is one that someone wants we can work it out :-)

[Peteybob]

Looks good and enough to keep busy with for a bit!

Perhaps you could upload pictures to a photo album in your profile and then link them in a forum posting. That way you have them all together in one place for future reference.

[Gmwd]

Great idea! Thank you

[Moparformances]

nice collection do ya mind saying what ya paid???

[Gmwd]

I would rather keep that between the member and I, unless they'd like to pop in and share :-). I hope you understand.
