    Welcome to Pachitalk. There are a few members over in the UK so I'm sure if you ever need any help they aren't too far from you.

    100 machines and counting...

    Hi and welcome to PachiTalk.
    Popeye,a great machine for a first buy the game play is massive.
    If you had the one off ebay with the option of more tokens go for it.
    Try to knock him down to less than 40 quid a thousand if your having the machine.
    you will need more than 200.
    Any questions ask here or pm me.
    Derek.

    Thanks for the wellcome messages. Have gone for the Popeye Pachislo..my first machine... Having to get courier to collect for me
    as a fair way away... Glasgow to Colchester... Should be delivered Weds hopefully in one piece.

    The seller trades a few machines now and then so should be fairly experienced in wrapping.

    I am looking for a cabinet or some sort of single stand to put it on now. What size should this be? Does anyone know how big the popeye is.
    What do you use? Also does anyone know where i can download a manual for this machine.
    thanks guys
    All the best and a Merry Christmas Pete

    all Pachislo machines are the same size...

    a stand about 30 inches tall (sorry only inches hear) would be great for a normal chair or standing... if your using a stool then tall might be better..

    the Pics of Popeye look cool but i have never played it..

    Wow 27 quid that's actually a decent price. I'd like to find as good a deal here in the US. I need some stands.
