Not a bad looking machine, but I question the playabity. Even looks to have Faux wood.

If they would laminate it with that same faux wood look it would be an interesting model. But the claim of it being the only machine with black reels is bogus. They sell other machines with black reels themselves.

[doodude]

Well, it is the only one with THOSE black reels. Could that be what they mean?

[Tulsa]

In the wonderful world of creative advertising, it very well could be. However it does clue you into David's concern about it's playability. They didn't include a video and the only interesting they can think of to say about it is it has black reels. Must be a really sorry machine.

But only 2 sold on ebay last year and it has two 3 inch woofers according to the ad.

i've never heard of a 3 inch woofer before.

here's the museum link http://www.pachinkomuseum.com/gendai...ven/index.html

it says 7 line payouts.

The cabinet for the original 1985 machine had a wood look.

i played one today at the flea market, the machine looks very nice and plays fine, led screen is pretty good, but overall it didn't turn me on.

he got a new shipment in, 135 machines. all very clean, he has about 25 at the flea market.

I also got to play catwoman, wanted, king camel, newest azteca legend returns and a few others,

Catwoman has a very hi-res screen and looked like an interesting machine to play.
Wanted reminds me of the lone Ranger with the white horse.
King Camel nudged a few reels on me so i didn't win. the top reels turned every spin.
New azteca legend had the plane sound and tunnel choices.
Free sunday entertainment for me!!!!!

[Tulsa]

Would you buy any of those you played?

[luckydog]

All of them, if i had the money and room!!!!!!

i suppose i could sell a kidney and put on an addition.

king camel and wanted were my favorites.

[Tulsa]

Well you could sell a few of the others you've gotten used to, cycle them through the house as needed for new machines.

[luckydog]

I'm going to have to start doing that one of these days.

being retired, it's always i'll do it tomorrow.

[doodude]

Do they still make machines with LEDs?
Is that a tech thats just over?
If so when did they stop making them?

[Tulsa]

They're still making them as far as I know. It's just another form of a 4th reel.

[Lddrizzt]

Cat woman isn't the comic book catwoman is it?

LEDs are here to stay Doodude, they rarely burn out and are cheap, so the companies are still gonna use them, most of the flashing lights are LEDs, and the LED displays are much cheaper than the LCD ones, and as we all know money is the bottom line.

[luckydog]

some dealers call this the cat woman http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWA%3AIT&rd=1

[Tulsa]

And here I thought was in reference to our old friend tattoolady..

[slotter]

LEDs are great. Don't burn out, are cool and do the job.
