    Default What machine is this and is it worth looking at?

    Hey guys...first off, thanks for all you help. I've got those three machines up and running and having fun! Saw this one on Craigslist and they are 1 hour away. Worth making the trip?

    Thanks,

    Nice machine. $99 is a bit high in my opinion. I typically pay around $50 for similar machines in my area.

    I would also be curious about the number of balls that will be included. If 500 or more (and in good condition) then that would increase the value. If only a handful, then you will need to purchase more just to play the game.

    I have seen that center feature before.. is is two sumo wrestlers.. when a ball goes threw the center it hits the plastic and they rock back and forth..

    I like that brand of machine and have always had good luck getting them working again... (one problem is the shooter tray is held in with screws, making access hard..

    on great thing is the screw mad it hard for someone else to get in there and screw things up

    i agree a bit over priced but worth a look..

    I also dont see that brand of machine with water stains to often..

    Daiichi is the brand name. The slanted lower window pane is their trademark.

    That would be a 1976 Daiichi (Sumo Wrestlers)

    I think it is a tad high in price at $99. I would agree with Jeff that typically the most I would pay for that would be $50.

    What I recommend to you is if your interested contact the seller and ask for a picture of the back and let us take a look (before you make them an offer) to tell you if it is all there. As you know it can be quite hard to find missing parts. (plus they are a good excuse to knock the price down.)

    100 machines and counting...

    Looks like a nice machine but I agree the price is a bit high. $50 would be my max on the machine unless it came with a lot of balls.

    Good Luck.
