I did it now... Indiana Jones Pachinko

[gottac]

Well for a long time I have been wanting to try out a pachinko (I have never seen one in real life or played one). I bid in at the last sec and all be darnded if I didn't win.

$101 I didn't think was bad for it, hopefully it will be decent.

So needless to say I can't wait till the Indiana machine gets here!


It will be a whole new ball (pun intended) game since I have only had the slots for so long... I am sure I will have tons of questions, etc.

[hanabi]

Well I would like to Welcome you to the 'Dark Side'!!

Although maybe I should wait till you actually start playing and see what your thoughts are then??

You have picked a great Pachinko to start with, just remember they get lonely,
so be prepared to buy more!!


Congratulations!!

[Sid]

Congrats on the New Machine

Great grab as far as I am concerned - I have Indy & still love playing it.

CONGATS ! ! !
Get ready for Multi-Tasking..

You will be moving balls around a little more than Tokens. Especially during a FEVER Round.

That's why I built the cabinets I did with a 4000 + top hopper and 1500 ball return bin.

Once you hit a FEVER round you will never go back. Enjoy it ! ! ! and great find... Was that the auction from samuraislot last night?

[Youngjedi]

Wow...Great Price!!! Congrats!!!

[gottac]

Thanks gang!

Yes from samurai (hopefully I do not regret it) I had saved this money up and it took a while so I went this route because of not having alot!

I need to do alot of research on the pachinko's I need to figure out a case or something, I would like to hang it on the wall, but it seems access is needed to the back for the balls? I figure when I get the machine alot more of this will make sense. It comes with 500 balls (that's probably as bad as a slot coming with 250 tokens) huh??

I kicked around the cyclic, semi, etc. but until I actually play one I have no idea which I would like best, so this will be my start!

[gottac]

Wow that is exactly what type of cabinet I am looking for!! I am printing the plans out right now! Thank you very much, you saved me alot of wasted lumber and headaches!!

[fronzdan]

Nice grab...good price. You'll want to build a cabinet for it, go the paint tray route or do a semi-cyclic mod. Don't stick with the reach around method for too long, it takes away from the fun.

[hanabi]

I can highly recommend Youngjedi's Cabinet Plans

I used them for my own!!

[Youngjedi]

There are a lot of other great plans on this site that the members have built. please see the "cabinets" section in the forums page.

Thanks

Samaraislots does not cover any missing or burned out bulbs!!

no feet either, but you did get 500 balls

[gottac]

Feet I do not care about since I will build a cabinet for it... Lights I kind of like though... I might be getting 800 balls does that make up for it?

Their auction ad says Free 500 balls and in the item description it says includes 300... So I emailed them and asked that mean I got 800 correct? and asked if they would email me a tracking # when it ships.

[rubberratt]

LOL I was cruising ebay today and noticed that someone got a good deal on the Indy Pachinko. Glad it was you

To build on Hanabi's welcome...
You will learn the POWER of the dark side



PS - when you can afford it...don't forget to buy Daverob's dongle and card reader

[gottac]

I gave CF a call and they said it comes with 500 balls (as the auction title stated), they also gave me a tracking #. I should have the machine on Monday according to Fedex website!

[revmondo]

Welcome to the dark side my son. Once you learn to master the way of the sphere your destiny will take you to places youve only dreamed of. Daverobs Dongle? Arbys Ball lifter? Star Wars Pachinko? They can all be yours if you follow the true path...

You missed a couple there bud...
