    Default Help with decision

    because I want a pinball machine also, I have to limit myself to 4 pachislo machines and sell the rest. Super Blackjack stays as the wife loves it. Austin Powers stays as I love it. Two openings are left. I have these in my garage. Which 2 would you keep? Babel, Thunderbirds, Neo Pharoah, Neo Planet, Monkey Magic (rare?), King Camel. Im leaning towards Thunderbirds and Monkey Magic but King Camel is nice. Ideas?
    I got me 4 of dem machines but the names is all in foreign talk.

    I would keep the king Camel over the Thunderbird.

    I can get a Thunderbird Pachislo for under 100.00 with 500 tokens locally and have passed on it

    Better gameplay with the fourth reel on King Camel and better light show.

    Keep the Neo Pharoah and the King Camel two great machines, but then again, bottom line is, the machines that YOU LIKE best are what to keep.

    It's totally your preference here. I choose to keep the Thunderbirds and eliminate the King Camel from my collection. I like the Thunderbirds theme, so I choose that. Now I gave that KC to our other admin and he loves it and thinks I was nuts for giving it up. Better it go to a home like this where it will be loved.

    Is the Monkey Magic rare?

    Eleco mass produces everything they make so I'm not really sure anything they make would qualify as rare but that word is so over-used by sellers you'd think everything was rare.

    I'm also not sure that it's highly enough sought after by collectors to attain that status.

    In my opinion scarce

    Mine is serial number 11071

    It comes up very seldom on ebay and most vendors don't have it in their inventory.

    there were more Spin Llucks on Ebay but, they are more in damand.

    less that a dozen Monkey Magic last year on Ebay and Gaku was the only one with some in stock.

    I'd keep Monkey magic and King Camel

    I've never played either but I couldn't part with my Beast Sapp, and have heard great reviews on King Camel

    If I add two more machines to my collection (down the road)...it would be the Las Vegas and King Camel.

    You ever checked out that guy in Mesquite that sells Pachislo, Pachinko and Pinball? His ebay listing dont list a name, just an address in Mesquite.

    by the way, my beloved Spurs loses to the Mavs is just an illusion. We shall overcome

    I've been there once, before I knew anything about Pachi's, I went there to check out a pool table he had. He sells alot of Customs. TA is also in mesquite, but I havn't bought from them since they quit selling Pachislo's. I stick to Gaku for Pachislos its a longer drive but I get quality and service.

    If the Mavs make it past San Antonio they've got it made. That was the first time they have won a game 3 against them. Maybe a good sign
