    Default Friends pachinko

    Here is my new machine. Great theme especially if you are a dog lover. A few videos that I took when I quickly hit a fever round. I am no TJ so they are turned on thie side and not high quality like Tony does. Hope you enjoy.

    I was going to bid on that one for my daughter, but I recognized your ID as a Pachitalk member and I figured there was no reason for us to start a bidding war, especially with all of the questions about the seller. I'm glad you got it in good shape. I hope you enjoy it, and I hope another comes along for the same great price

    What a night tonight. Hit two fever rounds one right after another! Got a little tired of refilling the machine. Maybe I should bring it down to Arby sometime to have him do his cyclic magic to it.

    I hit three fever rounds in a row on ThunderZone just now. It kept me busy. The answer is to have two small buckets nearby to use to keep the balls recycling and to hold the buckets on your legs and open the bottom cabinet door to empty and refill thru the funnel on the top.

    If you don't have a cabinet with the door or some other system, I don't see how you could possibly keep up.

    Oh, I spent 3100 balls to win 3 fever rounds of 1800 each round for about 5400 in winnings. It was a wild time and I had a blast!

    Read my one-handed method. Life is easier without a cabinet.


    Holding buckets in your lap?? geez... that's funny!

    Actually, it's a helluva lot of fun! But, we don't want to go down that road again... I don't think? BTW, never let go, even for a second, of the shooter. Just kept it going. The bucket in the lap business is just for a few seconds to drain the balls out of the bottom and then dump back in the top. The buckets are small plastic ice bucket size and hold about 1500 balls. It really does work well.

    Well NOT hanging on the wall gives you a table to set that on. You're basically using the one-handed method without the benefit of a table.


    lap balls... that's still funny!

    I just don't see how you can keep up with the payouts in fever rounds without having the funnel (a pour area of some sort) on top and a collection area on the bottom (where the door is on the cabinet).

    Ummm... lap balls. Hahaaha! Yep, that has some sort of a meaning.

    Anyhow, Thunderzone got really loose, this evening and was sure fun to fool with. I've negleted that machine for awhile and it was fun to give it a workout.

    Just with Slotter, we've had this round robin going for quite awhile now. It's a guy thing.

    Yeah, it's a guy thing, but I have to be careful with the guy who runs the system... or else.

    Make yourself a hopper on top to hold enough balls to pay out a whole FEVER round. Only having to fill the hopper after a FEVER is well worth it! Plus when not ina fever, you can play for a VERY long time with out having to refill the machine. If you hit a FEVER, just dump the balls from the bottom in the hopper and play through the whole FEVER round with not re-filling. NICE.
