Anyone out there want to see if you can eyeball what these are?

And yes... I already inquired for better pictures and offered to put a deposit down on at least one Power Flash.

The electric shooter one looks interesting...

[Moparformances]

both power flash machines are there

looks like a nice collection

[Card Shark]

Is there something different about the top of the T-Bird cel or is it just the picture quality?

[Chumsize]

Contacted by seller... Better pics on the way via email of Powerflashes and mystery early electric. Soooo. We shall see.

Found a pic of the mystery machine,

looks like it might be an ippatsu-dai (these use the tulips during the jackpot) pachimono.com has more info in the glossery (thanks candyflip)

[Card Shark]

Love the cel on that one.

Well their was a time when you could not even buy one of the powerflashs for twice what he is asking for the nine machines. How times change. Their are some great buys in that lot for anybody close.

I'm a-heading up there tomorrow. I let the seller know I absolutely want the Kyoraku and probably one Powerflash. But since I'm driving a couple hours each way, I might as well open it up for anyone here that wants one... Anyone want that second power flash? Apparently one has broken glass - which is fine, I'd just take it out to ship it. Sell it to a Pachitalker for $50 + a bit for gas + shipping.

Anyhooo... Here's 3 more pics - exclusive for the fine people here...

I can see that the pockets and center feature are different on the kyoraku your going to look at compared to the pic I found

very intriguing
Cannot wait to see what yours does

[Chumsize]

Here's a closer look... yes... intriguing...

I'm just glad to see that the playfield graphic is supposed to look that way...
From a distance, the black patch at the upper right looked disturbingly like a massive growth of black mold.

[JACKSJE4]

I'm wondering if that is the same seller that I bought my last Allwin from? The ad looks similar and he was located in about the same area as the ad describes.

Interesting...

Alright lets see what you have there...

74 Nishijin B PF (T-bird)
74 Nishijin B PF (China Man)
71 Nishijin B
72 Nishijin B
71 or 72 Nishijin B (all I see is the lower panel so I can't give exact year.)
74 Daiichi
76-77 Sanyo
64-65 Nishijin single shot
And the early modern

Seems like a good lot of machines. Though at $450 for 9 it seems a tad high. I'd try to get it at about $250-275 for all 9. I usually end up paying around $100 for lots of 4. Just keep telling the seller how much more room he will have.

I hope those PF machines work. One looks like it has a cord coming from it better hope that goes to a transformer somewhere or else you might be in deep

[Chumsize]

Don't want all 9... Looking to get the early modern and the powerflashes (assuming they don't look beyond simple repair... If they both are good, the 2nd has been spoken for...)

Those Powerflashes need transformers with two taps, right? One for lights, one for solenoids and others?

Anyhoooo... Saturday afternoon. I'll post my results when I get back.

[Moparformances]

these are the ones i use...

others jsut change the bulb to 24 volt bulbs.. i like having all my bulbs the same

Looks like the... Um... Gentleman... Sold them all before I could get there.

Dats ok... I kindly told him how much the Powerflash machines were worth he had just sold for $50 each...

Now he's mad at him(self) too... (evil grin)

Typical CL flakes. They never know what they have, they just want it gone asap they don't care so much about the money.

You make that sound like it is a BAD thing.

Personally, I have scored my BEST deals on craigslist from people who either don't know what they have, or just want it gone (or both).

No that part is good. It is the "I want it gone" part that stinks. As they usually sell it before you can even show up, even after you told them many times you would.
