    I have 4 older machines and love them! Simple mechanical machines that are fun to play. In the late 60's early 70's my Dad was stationed in Hawaii and a friend had one. I wanted one from then on. My first I bought from an antique mall and then I went crazy for a bit and bought 3 more. My wife said 4 was enough and not to buy anymore pachinkos. That's when I bought my Jungle Queen....Hahaha! I told her it wasn't a pachinko machine. Then I bought 2 more pinballs, A Spirit of 76 and a Hotline.
    I think it's cool that the pachinkos use leaf switches like the EM machines.
    Oh and

    Quoted from jodini:

    ....... until my wife said she was tired picking up "pachinko poop"! .....

    I bought an extra mechanic's magnet (telescoping type) to keep by the machines that is awesome for picking up pachinko balls!!

    I'm currently looking for a nice Daiichi machine. I love the angled front glass.

    Quoted from stangbat:

    Seems like this thread is attracting more fans than grumpy people like me. This may not be a popular opinion, but I hate the things. I've worked on several and I now turn down any more repairs. Not because it is difficult, I just don't enjoy working on them at all.
    I also won't take one even if it is given to me. Sorry for being the Debbie Downer, but you asked for everyone's opinions.

    Haha! That's why they make chocolate and vanilla ice cream!
