    Default Greetings from Canada

    Hi everyone, I'm really excited to join the community! I've got my first pachinko machine coming from Clover Collectibles next week and can't wait to dive into this cool hobby. It seems to be very rare in my area (Alberta) and so I'm happy to have found this site. My first machine is an Evangelion 10 Premium Gold version and I'll be sure to post some pics when it arrives!

    Make sure you have plenty of balls and if you can invest in a Daverob dongle, you will find the experience more enjoyable. I used to charge up the dongle with 1000 balls and see how long I can play for.

    Glad to hear that! It blows my mind that Pachinko isn't more popular in the west.

    It's a transitional electric, it's supposed to be plugged in. That is part of it's magic.
    Hopefully they have a transformer, but whatever that can all get redone. GET THIS FISH!

    The insinuation is that a 24V machine might have been directly connected to a 120V line zzzzzzappy zap
    But unsure where they got that idea
