Yeah, I am doing sort of a trade/swap thingy with mine. So it is no longer for sale, but here is what I am doing. I've located a guy who is regarded as THE best source for pachinko items in the US, and the best thing is that he is about 2 hours away. What luck.
Anyway, I wanted a new Star Wars pachinko, but found out that it is only a few wire plugs and some clamps that hold the "cell" or game board (with the screen, lights, circuit boards, etc) on to it, so you can swap other "cells" into the same outside "frame." So instead of trying to find a place for multiple machines, you basically buy one frame, and the cells you want. They swap out in about 5 minutes, and that is taking your time.
So I am getting a frame, and then a Star Wars cell (rated #2 right now), Indiana Jones cell (rated #3 right now), and a Julie cell (rated #1 right now). Best thing is that instead of working through an eBay "dealer" who claim that they are providing clean machines taken from parlors in Japan (with all of the scratches, and some areas not cleaned, etc), I am getting 100% new components. No smokey smell, no scratches, no burnt out bulbs... Plus, the cells cost less to buy, and cost less to ship since they aren't full machines. While I am picking mine up, they still cost the guy to get them here from Japan. So lower shipping DOES help me out too.
Here is what they look like:
Julie
Star Wars
Indiana Jones
Should be fun!
