    Default Stolen pachislos from Roscoe, IL

    If anyone comes across Neo Pharoah Zetz, Epsilon, Frozen Nights, or Ohanabi and they're missing the hoppers and (except on the Frozen Nights machine since they're chained to it) the keys somewhere out in the Rockford or Chicago area, please let me know. Someone broke into my storage unit, stole the four machines (without their hoppers in them so they're useless), and damaged the hood of my Chrysler New Yorker that was in there while taking them.

    Also, since chances are really high I'll never see those machines again, if anyone would be willing to part with their Epsilon... please keep me in mind. I went all the way from here to Denver, Colorado to get one a few years ago :'(

    Thanks guys.

    Sorry to hear about your loss. Therenis a good chance that if the thief tries to sell that someone here will spot the machines.

    Hoping you had taken the insurance option on the unit?
    There is always another machine around the corner...

    Really sorry to hear that

    Just wondering

    Did you by chance have the serial numbers recorded?

    I'll be watching to see if any of these pop up. Do you have pics of your machines? It would be useful to know what we're looking for. Sorry for your loss.

    Unfortunately, I didn't have insurance on the unit itself and I don't have the serial numbers

    Do these machines actually have serial numbers on them? I've never noticed before.

    I'll try to dig up a picture here later. Thanks for keeping your eyes open dudes and dudettes.

    You know, trying to find pictures of these things is really tough! Unfortunately I can't seem to find any pictures saved on my camera card and my computer that might have them is still buried in another storage unit. Ugh. Not to mention this old iMac is being stupid about copying image addresses to post them so this is the best I can do for now. Thank you so much for your time with this...

    we seem to be having problems with some pic coding links, so here are some links from our Research Centre, that I presume relate to the correct models:

    PachiTalk Research Center - Yamasa / Niigata - NEO Pharoah - ZETZ - PachiTalk

    I think Epsilon is another Yamasa model

    PachiTalk Research Center - Aruze / Eleco / Macy / Mizuho - Frozen Nights - PachiTalk

    PachiTalk Research Center - Aruze / Eleco / Macy / Mizuho - OHanabi - PachiTalk

    Unfortunately, I doubt they were stolen for the machines themselves. The idiots who stolen them probably had no idea what they were and took them thinking they were slot machines full of money. After they cut them open and find nothing, they'll likely toss them.

    We had one of these geniuses break into the yard where the city buses are kept. Looked around the maintenance shop until he found a cutting torch and cut the coin box out of a bus. We got a torn up bus, and he got nothing because the coin boxes are emptied at the end of the shift. Morons.

    Well it's been a few months and nothing. I'm going to sadly assume my machines have been destroyed and are in a landfill somewhere...

    I truly hope they turn up. I assume you have been keeping an eye on Craiglist in your area.

    Oh yeah, every day for a long while, now every few days just in case. I'm pretty sure they were taken to steal the "money" that should be inside which, obviously, wasn't. I still have the hoppers and tokens from all four of them though.

    If anybody knows the whereabouts of an Epsilon, please let me know. I so badly want another one.

    After so much time, I'm thinking they are gone for good... thanks to everyone for keeping a lookout for me.

    So if anyone finds another Epsilon, please please PLEASE let me know. I went through hell to get that machine :'(

    That is so weird,I just read your most recent post and decided to check my local CL here in Dallas and this popped up just 8 hour ago, although $350 is way pricey
    Might be worth given them a shout And see if they will ship it

    Well they still have it... once I get my tax return stuff done (and if it's still around) I'll certainly try! Thanks for the info though.
