    Default Another Victim Of Pachislo Addiction

    Hi all,
    I'm one of those guys who could have retired years ago then was suddenly faced with the question...
    What to heck am I going to DO if I retire.

    My day job is IT manager and equipment tech for a small powdered metal parts manufacturer.
    One Monday morning I walked into my cubical to see this thing sitting there that looked like a slot machine.
    Found out later it belonged to the president of the company and the reels wouldn't stop.
    So they figured I could fix it.
    Eventually I did.

    Then I was looking for a restoration project.
    I was actually looking for a 1960s to 1980 pinball machine, when this ad pops up.
    A magician who lives about 10 miles away from me had listed 4 non-working Pachilo slot machine for $85 each.
    I bought one and had it fixed in two days.
    Went back and bought another one and had working 100% in one day.
    until
    Then I went and bought a third one....
    I may still be working on this one until I do actually retire and beyond.......
