    Definitely a good deal if they both work! Would have been even better deal with more balls though; better order another 1000-1500 to be able to play through the fevers. I’m not familiar with those particular models , both digipachis; both seem to be CR (card reader machines) so you can buy a Daverob dongle to dispense balls with those buttons; a recommended modification.

    I do have a 1998 Newgin “Tequila” in the same frame as yours.

    orange frame machine is from 2002, no idea on other one, put felt pads on bottom of wood feet, i use round circles, and many spaced out, easy to slide machines, and protects whatever you put them on

    Seems like a good deal to me if they both work!!

    I don't know these games, but it's fun sometimes to get random lesser known games, you never know what could be a hidden gem!!

    More balls will definitely make them more fun!!

    Do the machines have the power transformer 120vac to 24vac ? If they just have a two prong plug Do Not Plug them in !!

    You will Fry The Boards on them . They both work on 24 volts a.c. At round 5 amps .
    When things don't go right the 1st time , Step back ,Take a break and come back renewed. RGS

    They both were already modified for 120, I just have to extend the cord on one of them as its a bit short.

    Perhaps you will find some themes that she likes and it will draw her into the hobby with you. It makes buying more machines easier. I'm not saying to use this as a ploy, rather sincerely inviting her into your new world. I recently found some machines at an auction and my wife liked one of the machines so I got it for her. She now randomly asks to go downstairs with me to play the various machines (but always hers first) which I greatly welcome as she knows how much I am into my Pachi's! And with her MS it is far from an easy task to move up and down steps.

    I have the exact same orange "Seven Flash" machine. I am normally into vintage machines, but bought this one for $125 because it was listed as having "hundreds and hundreds of balls", which it did.... about 1500 which I was quite pleased with.

    But it seems it gets more attention than any of the vintage machines when there are visitors, including my wife and granddaughter who has figured out how to twist the shooter knob.
