Trade my 5 pachinko machines for ???
I had planned to get into pachinko restoration with a few guys in my combat veteran's support group... but it fell through. I have asked for old pachinko machines as donations... but didn't receive any. I've been going around to garage and estate sales though and have expanded my collection.
I recently picked up a couple of much older "hard to find" pachinko machines that appear to be complete.
I've seen one of them sell in less complete/worse condition for over $120 on ebay. There's a thread on this site with photos of the other machine. The other, that I purchased at the same time, I've been unable to locate information about it ANYWHERE.
In this forum, before I've offered 2 of my machines for trade, then 3 of my machines for trade... wanting an EXCELLENT restored machine in return. The issue has always been shipping... and that probably is still going to be the issue, but I thought I would try again... adding these 2 other machines to the offer to sweeten the deal.
What I'm offering is 5 machines in complete restorable condition. 2 1950's model A single shot (one is a "Ginza" and the other says "Comicgo"?), 1 1960's model A nishijin, 1 model B nishijin (lobster), and 1 model C nishijin (golf).
This is virtually a complete collection of almost every type from the different eras.
What I'm wanting is OFFERS. I'd enjoy hearing what trade offers you have... pachinko's or old coin operated stuff...something unique, rare, or fun..but in great shape!,...I'd prefer to find someone who has a beautifully restored pachinko machine fully detailed (down to sealing the wood under the cell)...who will pay the expenses of shipping both-ways (mine to you and yours to me). I imagine a person could choose freight for these 5 and have a company deliver them to you for around $100 - $150. One of the machines alone will sell on ebay for at least that if not more; The Ginza which was supposedly in that historical casino back in the 1950's!
Post your offers!
If you would like to trade and cover the costs of shipping "both-ways"...post photos here or email me photos of the machines you'd like to trade. I live in zip code 98233. I would prefer someone else to arrange the shipping of these through a carrier but I will work with the right person.
Again, I was really looking forward to getting into restoring these but the group idea fell through and I just don't have the space where I am to work on them. I've already spoken with an individual that is interested in working out something but as of right now, he is too busy with "life stuff" to work out a trade. If I don't get any other offers before he gets the chance to work something out, I will probably just hold onto them until he can.
These are really cool machines...take a look!
(I can only post so many photos at a time but I have closer detailed photos that I will post in a few days)
