    That's Doc's machine. Not sure why he'd want to get rid of Rio?

    I find all this changing what sellers are doing very offputting to get a pachislo, seems to be seriously misleading as well unfortunetly

    Yep and I remember a few people ranting and raving about how cool it was.

    I recall jokingly stating he could get 2000.00 for it on Ebay. But now I am thinking that is not too far off where it would go

    I couldn't have said it better myself, even though I've never used the term "offputting" in my life. I love the fact we have so many different members from so many different places around the globe.

    Cheers everyone, wherever you hail from!

    Good job we have this place to stop us from picking a machine up with a theme we like to only find out it's a butchered mess at best.

    If people can't research before they payout for somthing then they have more money than sense

    Ok, Now Doc is not misleading anyone on this auction if you read it. He even says in the title that it's a blackjack machine. I have no problem with a customizer who is honest and tells the truth about the customization and actually reveals what the original machine was. There are a number of users on here (myself included) that have sold custom machines on ebay, but we have always disclosed what the original machine was.
    But I do have to admit that Rio is easier on the eyes than old Gene

    This is my personal opinion, or of the voices in my head, and are not meant to reflect the opinion of this board.
