That looks like a good one for Eric. Clean it up like new and tune and resell $$$.

Your right Mike, I seen that one last night and was thinking the exact same thing. Since my addiction can easily run out of control my wife and I made a deal. I either wait six hours after I first see it or show her and if she thinks it's worth it then I can do the buy now. Went to buy it this morning and poof it was gone. You won’t see another vintage that cheap till summer time. It looked like a real nice machine too. From the layout it was probably made after 1973. The only thing wrong that I could see from the photos was the shooter spring looked like it was stretched out. Other than that could have had the baby cleaned up and ready in less then a weekend.

I did manage to get a machine that will be used for parts and to experiment on. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...7522&rd=1&rd=1. The seller did not use the word pachinko in the title so I found it using one of my alternate searches. I'll let you know when I get it. Some of those nails have your name on it.

SWEEET, my ol toothless chinko's are finally gonna get a nice grin. I would have got it for a fix up and resell but I end up adopting them.
