    Default Looking for advice on a purchase

    Hello all.

    I believe this is my first "modern" pachinko post. I have a number of vintage pachis, but my most "modern" machine is a Nishijin C.

    I have been presented with an opportunity to buy 4 modern machines for $100. The biggest problem to me making this purchase is that I will have to make about a 350 mile round trip to pick them up.

    According to the seller, "they are not in good working order, but they light up, balls go up,but all "bells and whistles "do not seem to be working". If I buy all four, all of the balls come with them (looks like 1,000 balls...maybe as much as 1,500)...also, per one of the pics, it looks like one has some sort of ball lifter.

    I will freely admit that I know nothing about the electronics of the modern machines...given what you guys see in the pictures, is this a worthwhile endeavor (keeping in mind the 350 mile roundtrip)?

    If anyone needs to see the backs of the other machines, I can provide them...the only ball lifter is on the one as shown.

    I appreciate your comments.

    I'm not addicted to Pachinkos. I can quit at any time. Did I tell you about the three machines that I have on the way?
