I found my first Pachislo machine and I'm picking it up tomorrow

[panoz77]

I just wanted to know if I did good on the price. The machine is in full working order, with manual, keys and tokens. It is a Yamasa Sea Story, I am paying $100 for it. Funny thing is one of the symbols on the machine is JP which are my first and last initials. I figure I can't loose on that price, they used to sell them at a store called Marc's here locally for around $100-$150, so I figure the price is right. I think my 8 year old will have fun with it.

​Congratulations! Looking forward o seeing pictures.

The only Sea Story I'm aware of is a 2005 made by Sanyo. But I don't remember it having JP on the reels. Can you post picture? Either way $100 sounds like a fair deal for a working machine with tokens. If its the one I'm thinking of they were selling for about $150 3-4 years ago.

Here is the picture the seller provided.



If you look close you can see the JP (silver and blue) symbol

It looks to be the same machine as this one.

It doesn't appear to be a newer LCD, it appears it is a reel type.

Oh I've seen that model before, I think it was made by Yamasa in 2003 and called 'Sea Number One'?

Here's a link to a thread with more info about it, there are also some links to the Manufacturers Site and Guidebook

Try having a 2 year old who loves my super sea story pachinko and constantly grabs you by the hand to take you out to the games room

What is this on/off switch for at the very top?


Also, on the outside there is a silver round button below the coin slot, what is that for? Is it a coin return or jam release button?

[Moparformances]

i think the top lever is the switch that makes the machine stop after a big bonus..

when on it will require a full reset after the BB

when off it will continue playing after a BB

[panoz77]

OK, great info thanks. Better to leave it off then. Thanks again.

Here is a video of the Big Bonus Round on this machine. I hit two in about 10 minutes, this one ran out of coins and showed an error E3.

I think you are correct on both accounts.
