Vintage POWERFLASH pachinko machine - OHIO

[candyflip]

$250 would have been a fair price, IMHO.

Seems that vintages listed as 'not working' are usually owned by people that wouldn't know if they were 'working' or not?

Another email from seller. They thanked me for the information, stated that they couldn't find much info on it online.

how is it they could not find information on it??? I wonder if there computer was on while they were doing there search..

Vintage Powerflash Nishijin Pachinko Machine Asian man * Poker Flush - $275 (North Royalton Ohio )

Collectors know how collectible and desired this pachinko machine is... This one is the end of an era the 100% mechanical machine. Later they became computerized inside . Highly collectible and sought after. Dates from the 1970's. They sell in the high $300.00 -400.00 range plus postage on ebay for non working condition. This one was just removed from a home that was just purchased. The glass case is locked and we have no key. Machine is inside a very heavy wooden case. So we are unsure of working condition. Has a bag of metal pinballs. Please only interested parties e-mail us back.

The last few on ebay didn't even break $200.

At least it is on Craigslist. I'll keep an eye on it...hopefully it won't get any local bites!

New pics from seller! I checked the Craigslist link, no new pics. These were emailed to me.powerflash 1.jpgpowerflash 2.jpgpowerflash 3.jpgpowerflash 4.jpgpowerflash 5.jpgThey finally got it out of the trunk. Found a loose piece of white plastic...wasn't sure if belonged to PF or not. I told them it was, do not throw it away. (I might need it, you know)It was the upper track cover that is frequently missing. They admitted to know nothing about how it worked, I suspect they were "mining" me for information, since they took what I told them so far to quadruple my bid! I simply told them that it don't look like it has a transformer, DO NOT hook up to 120volts!!! Although earlier machines work without power, this one won't! Well, some of it will...but what makes it a PowerFlash won't, not without 24 volts. I wasn't gonna say anything else to make them try to up the price any more. If I wanted to meet them in Columbus for too much money (for me), I couldn't even test it! It does look clean! Maybe I'll make them an offer in about a month and see what happens!

Just to see what the above search would provide...I stumbled around and found this gem! Rarer than a PowerFlash, maybe?

I bookmarked the Craigslist ad, and keep refreshing it. Still active and not updated. No new pics in the ad...they sent me the pics that I posted earlier, you would think that they would post more pics in their ad if they want a premium price. I sent an email to see if they still have it for sale. I didn't make an offer yet, just in case they have it and make me an offer 1st. Not to mention, to shut down negotiations if they don't like my offer before I even know if they still have it!

Another cool electrical vintage! Sankyo Pachinko - YouTube There are more of these out there than I thought! Sadly I never see them for sale.

Crazy sellers. Some of them just can't make up their mind or keep a promise.

As Mike Rowe would say, "They're not right in the head."

That's OK! I don't really have the resources to pay that much...much less drive that far. It just shows, once again, that they pop up all the time! Usually when you can't afford them!
