$50 Power Flash

[emmadog]

It's a Little man version and is described as the more popular of the two. I think most would agree the T-Bird is more fun but it's still a P Flash at a great price. It's not working which normally means a little cleaning is necessary.Pachinko Power Flash Flush Deluxe Super

I find it interesting that a pachinko that once went for over a thousand dollars on ebay has been sitting this long. Of course at one time we all thought they were extremely rare until they started coming out of the woodwork.

[emmadog]

Sorry bout the dual post. It surprises me as well that these machines are not in demand like they once were.

[JACKSJE4]

Perhaps a sign of our saggin economy.

Its probably our fault. We've pumped them up and then made them "just another choice Pachi" to have. We may be at fault here.

That would be me...I've let a modern and a single ball get away, both were good deals; but I didn't want to lose at a chance to get a powerflash. Shipping is high at $80, but I don't know how much a powerflash weighs. I noticed that it seems to be missing the transformer, but that seems readily available. Can anyone see something I'm missing. I want it but I'm afraid it will quickly rise out of my reach. I have heard of the T-bird powerflash, but am not familiar with it. Can someone post a pic... or is it in the archives somewhere?

That power flash is what many people reffer to as a "china man" power flash. I would say a power flash weighs around 10 - 15 pounds more than a standard model B. I don't own a power flash but I have a circut racer machine (very similar to a power flash) and it is heavier than a standard model B. Good luck I hope you win it for a decent price

One thing you need to note that the relays are inbetween the front and the back. Most people do not realize that their is an inside guts to this machine and I think the circuit racer has one too. You open it on the left side from the back but even if you could see the relays I do not know if you could tell whether or not they work or not. The persons to ask would be either Mopar or emmadog. I note all of the bottom wiring is missing and if you do get the machine you are certainly going to need help wiring it up.

Well I am not an expert but I have bought and sold or given away five powerflashs over the last two years. Just a few comments as I think you were looking at buying.

1. As you stated their is no transformer and you will need help with the wiring if you get it. Th
2. The decals on alot of it are missing but they are available.
3. Not many pachinko balls and they are in poor shape.
4. The machine looks to have some deep chips in the playfield. These are conviently hid by the camera flash in the first picture but can again be seen in the second.


This is about all I can see.

1. That seems easy enough. I have seen posts that give Radio Shack part # to get a transformer that works.
2. Do you have a pic with the correct decals so I know what it should look like? This will not be a stumbling block, as I can take or leave a decal... but if available would look into.
3. Don't care. Throw them away!
4. That I didn't notice. I looked again and see what you mean. Not a dealbreaker, just a bummer!
5. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
I noticed a grey wire coiled up on the right side. This may have gone to the transformer. Also, 2 holes to the right of the studs for power hookup. Looks like the thumbscrews are missing from studs on right... are the holes to the left normal, or should studs be there also?

[Lt Teddy]

I am pretty sure my mechanic Mopar might have an extra set of decals and if he does not Mbodi was the person making them. I will post a picture of my best looking powerflashs if I can find them. Maybe then maybe one of the mods can put them where they belong if they belong.

hear is a nice pic of a china man

Well when I try to post pictures the bar does not come up on go advanced to post any. If you would go to my site and look at all my posts you will see excellent pictures of powerflashs. Their are two threads on page three of my threads one is named ( number 2 powerflash little man ) and my other thread is when I bought my first one ( I got It I got it a powerflash ). Their are all kinds of pictures for you to preview and those two were the nicest ones. Mopar now has those in California.

[Lt Teddy]

Another way to find great pictures is to go in to the search engine and input powerflash. It will bring up the last one hundred threads that have anything in them about powerflashs. Their are alot of nice pictures in most of the posts and their are alot of posts on how to fix or buy some of the things you might be looking for. Good Luck on your bidding.

Power Flash T-Bird By Mudfud on Youtube here -------> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIZ9Rw4VVjc

and I have a Chinaman Power Flash that I can take Pix of if needed. And I believe that my solenoids ohmed out at about 37 ohms.

[pachiwall]

Guess I wont have to buy a transformer for that one. Multiple snipers at work here. Six days, only 3 bids. Then in the last 6 to 10 seconds: 151.05-178.87-200.00, and the winning bid $202.50. Hard telling what shipping is, to ship to Ohio was $81.00. That is why I set my limit at $150. If someone here got it let us know!
