    Question Help in Choosing Models to Buy - Thanks To All

    Help in Choosing Models to Buy - Thanks To All

    I do alot of IT work and after helping a friend build a gamming system
    he lost his job and couldn't pay me so he gave me BABEL.
    I brought her home and my loving and understanding wife kissed me and
    said see ya in a couple of weeks, knowing full well I would be mezmorized
    with Pashislo Machines and resarching her.

    I found, snagged, coppied, and clipped all Pashislo info I could find
    about 15 gig worth, Links galore. Then PachiTalk appeared, a dream
    come true for old and new owners. I have read or at least browsed all
    the threads in the Pachislo Arena and based alot of my research off the threads.

    Shoot I even wipped out my personal web space from my ISP for Pachislo
    info to share with my friends who don't know yet what they are missing.

    Hats off to the Admin and Modorators and Members.

    I have seen members in need of info and almost as soon as they post somebody
    replies...No waiting 2 or 3 days for someone to care. Now thats devotion to the cause.

    As for BABEL she was the first and will always be here. From what I have read most collectors that have had her would like her back.

    sob sob tear jerk ..... get a tissue ..... I feel better now.
    Wife gave her blessing TO GET MORE MACHINES Yaaaaaaaaa
    Here is my gonna get these, after I get her's list.
    Compiled from foum Info and hours of web searching and translating JP pages.

    Should I avoid any of these, or are there any other ones I should watch for?
    I understand the NET & IGT are the best to aquire. Correct?
    Since I like to hear and play them.. Big Bear is the closest to me.
    Not real crazy about having them sent but it seems Big Bear and Milt's place are OK.

    I have seen and played with some of these here at a place in San Antonio
    be he wanted way tooooooo much and I got to see some real homely ones
    to which I would be glad to give a home to but not for that high of a price.

    BABEL - Eleco 2002 - Popped my cherry with this one.
    BETTY BOOP - Sammy 2002 - For the wife so I can get the others.

    KING CAMEL - Sammy 2003
    OUTLAW - Eleco 2003
    BLACK JACK - NET 2002
    HARLEY DAVIDSON - IGT 2002
    SUPER BLACK JACK - NET 2003
    LAS VEGAS - Olympia 2001
    TWIST - Olympia 2002
    AUSTIN POWERS - IGT 2003

    Thanks

    The machines you listed are all great machines that owners enjoy. As far as vendors in my experiences milt's the best (but he's the only guy i deal with) but from what ive heard and seen on the forum Gaku at Big bears is just as well. I would definately recommend sticking with one of these 2 vendors and all of your purchases should be fine. As far as shipping when buying from a reputable vendor i.e. milt, gaku, you probably wont have a problem with machines getting damaged.

    Nice list of machines, I don't have any of them. But of the ones I do have, Neo PlanetT is my favorite. Pachislo's are great, but the real fun is in Pachinko's.

    Don't forget about Spin Luck... even with that Harley in there!

    Black Jack and Super Black Jack might be a little redundant? Don't know for sure (never played Black Jack '02), but I've heard the SBJ is a better bet.
    My SBJ is GREAT!!!

    Twist is cool for looks and especially music (50's), but playability is a bit weaker than the others. It's still a great looker!

    Looks like you've picked out some good ones!
    Welcome to the addiction! :lmao:

    Just keep on keepin' the wife happy about it!

    KING CAMEL - Sammy 2003 - Good teaser machine
    OUTLAW - Eleco 2003 - I think this one will get repetitious
    BLACK JACK - NET 2002 - Older model - Get the Super instead better vid does more
    HARLEY DAVIDSON - IGT 2002 - If you can find one and afford it - without a doubt
    SUPER BLACK JACK - NET 2003 - Great machine
    LAS VEGAS - Olympia 2001 - I've heard some good - Mostly though it appears to be an ornament piece - a lot have said the play is, eh..
    TWIST - Olympia 2002 - Good theme - nice music but another ornament - play is average
    AUSTIN POWERS - IGT 2003 - Can't say, not a fan of the theme myself.
    Meanwhile, somewhere in Oklahoma.

    Thanks that is just the type of info I was looking for.
    Now I can start to narrow my search down and
    research the newly mentioned machines..and the
    comments on the other ones...I may not be brand new
    but I believe one persons 2 cents is worth a million to me.

    Please keep them coming..Ya won't hurt my feelings.
    after all I asked for it.

    Did you already get Betty or is she on the wish list for your wife? I have Betty and I absolutely love her. My first was TWIST...I like it very much...but not as much as Betty. I bought two Babels, one for Dad and one for my brother...pretty neat machine. I also have a Hound Dog...which I am still undecided about as this one has been very stingey with me so far. I am sure once it goes into a Bonus of any kind, I will like it fine. Everybody gives the King Camel high marks around here and of course the Spin Luck and Harleys are much sought after. Good luck with your list.

    I used to live in San Antonio, btw, Zeron. And, one of my very best friends lives out in Boerne but darned if I can remember the name of the subdivision now. It is gated, but cannot remember the name. Darn. It's not Fair Oaks Ranch, it is south of that...

    Howdy, Zeron! Man, that is quite a list you have there. Wish I could comment on all of them, but I only own two in your list, including your wifes list. See my Pachislo list in my sig.

    KING CAMEL - Sammy 2003 -- Still my favorite machine because of the reel action.
    OUTLAW - Eleco 2003 - Don't own.
    BLACK JACK - NET 2002 - Don't own.
    HARLEY DAVIDSON - IGT 2002 - Don't own, but want.
    SUPER BLACK JACK - NET 2003 - Don't own, but want.
    LAS VEGAS - Olympia 2001 - I have this one and really like it. I tried to post a video of it in the museum. Has some English spoken.
    TWIST - Olympia 2002 - Don't own.
    AUSTIN POWERS - IGT 2003 - Don't own.

    As time permits, I am slowley writing reviews of all my machines, even if they are only supplements to others. Someday I'll get all this video hardware and software figured out, again as time permits, and get them transferred to the museum.

    I know this isn't much help as it stands, but hope it helps a little.
    Check my member page here or...

    Temporarily, go to youtube.com and search for BudgeRahe for videos. Until I get the links set up in the museum

    Welcome Zeron! theyre all good machine on your list. since your from texas, i recomend you to go check it out bigbears because you can play more than 50 machines in their showroom including your fav list! maybe somehow, it will help you to decide what to get and also you saves lots of money from shipping.

    Musky, I own a wildwolf and it is one of the best looking machines I own very cool looking in attract mode with the top of reel length led and the cool color changing wide reels, it has pretty good sounds even has a wolf howl ounce in a while, it is a cool game and the one that really got me started on this hobby, the only minus is it is very stingy on the payouts, so you have to feed it alot of tokens to get a bonus, also I belive this model may be a 7 line also, hope this helps you some.

    Zeron,
    I have a Austin Powers machine and I like it quite a bit, it has a lot of different scenes on the lcd and good sound, also alot of fun mini games like austin battling dr. evil or mini me, and femmebots and a time machine. I haven't even begun to learn all the secrets of this very fun machine, I myself highly reccomend it. It's one I haven't got tired of like some machines I've owned.

    Musky;
    Wild Wolf rocks!
    As stated though, it's tough to get bonus rounds on. Its still a super machine for the money
    (BigBear has it for $77).

    I have played it (Wild Wolf) at Big Bear's and liked it a lot. It's on my list. I just don't have room right now for more machines. Working on that problem now. I like Mephisto a lot. I would suggest it to those looking for another machine.

    Everyone seemed to forget to mention a Dragon Dice. This is a worthy machine to check out. Also maybe a Beast Sapp or Sinbad's Adventure. These machines have a 15" LCD screen that lies over top the reels.

    Also, you won't regret moving up to a jet boat. These things take boating to a whole new level, and much more fun than the jet ski's. Just keep in mind that these boats are known to toss their passengers. If you are gonna get radical with it...Then life vest and the wrist band to kill the motor are a must! What boat did you choose? I have the Sugar Sand Sole with the Mercury 240EFI engine. Its up on plane in under 2 seconds. Jet-Set-GOOOOO!
