Newby needs advice in buying pachinko machine

[doovid]

Howdy,
Where can I find out what to look for as far as buying a used pachinko machine? How do you know if it is in good shape or not? Are the prices from Texas auction reasonable? Which vendors are trustworthy,etc???
Help!!!

Are the prices from Texas auction reasonable?

Texas auction prices is fair, I think, I have bought three machines from them, they are fast, good packing, very clean.

slotusa prices is fair, I think, I have bought four machines from them, they aren't fast, very good packing, clean.

Which vendors are trustworthy,etc???

Both are, that I have found.

These seem to be the big seller on ebay, as to some of the smaller one, I have bought from a few andÂ… the weather is cold hereÂ… I will continue to buy buy from the two above.

Buy from someone who knows how these need to be packed, no mater how cheap the price you payif it comes in pieces, it ain't no fun to play insurance pachinko with some sellers.

This is my 2¢ worth, and take and a grain of salt.

I am bribed by both companies to say good thing with Wine, Women, and Song No not really, I like how they handle my business.

i got my fever king from slotusa, shipping was slow, but they stand by their product.

you can check out the pachinko museum here or texas auctions ebay ads, they do get carried away with description but you can find out a lot about the play there. :lol:

Thanks for all the info!

Do I have to purchase a stand for the games, or can they be set up on any table? Are they sort of "plug and play"??
Just wondering how much setup is required after receiving a used pachinko....

[luckydog]

they are plug and play, don't forget to read instructions first to avoid problems,

they usually come with two wooden feet which are ok.

or metal brackets which don't really work right,

you can go to walmart crafts department and buy 2 small wooden plaques and mount those on the bottom if you get the metal brackets.
