Thunderbird PowerFlash

[tommy4132]

I bought this a couple of weeks ago from eBay. Yes the one with the $100 shipping (OUCH). The guy did an excellent job packing though. Tons of bubble wrap, put it in a large box full of peanuts. He even took out the glass and packed that really well. The machine was really dirty but it did work. The lights were a little messed up, but a easy fix. Well, it took awhile to get one and it cost me, but here it is.........

really nice machine i really wanted that one as well, but there is a new one on ebay that i am going to win no matter what happens, so i will share my story on here with your powerflash as well when the bidding ends.

I had the same attitude when I bought this machine. I have let to many slip through my fingers. I am really enjoying I so far, a lot of fun to play. Look toward seeing yours when you get it.

Looks like the powerflash sold for $255.00 + $37.28 shipping! Under $300 for a good working machine sounds good. So who got it? Bonsai?

[bonsaimaster1]

yep that's right i got it, it was sold for 255 dollars but i placed a bid of 350 to make sure it was mine!

[bonsaimaster1]

cant wait for it to get here to work on it and play on it( the best part of any pachinko). My first ever powerflash, i had to let many go as well but i made sure that this one didn't get away from me, im just so tired of losing these amazing pachinkos.

i will definitely post pics when it gets here with a follow up video when it is completely cleaned and playable.

Congratulations!

The little man version has the "joker" wire. You might already know about it.
You could add a switch to open or close the connection.

Think you'll enjoy playing your new Power Flash.

[bonsaimaster1]

i don't know about the joker wire please tell me more about it!

Not sure I remember the listing and when you bought it. What do you like about playing it? I enjoy working on power flashes and appreciate the mechanics of opening 9 or 10 tulips at once...seems like I always want to add more lights and a cheat button. Went through a lot of variations of those options... This is the perfect forum to display projects. Might start an album of just my power flash projects...

I think an area dedicated to Powerflashes would be a great idea. It appears to be a very popular machine and also one that is very popular to modify.

It would be great to have one place to see member's machines with instructions on how they modified their individual machines and videos of them in action.
