ORIGINAL RECEIPT (SEE PHOTO ), we're the second owner though, OWNERS MANUAL, replacement fuses, and OUTSTANDING CONDITION! Purchased 12-2010 and paid $3,196 (see photo of receipt). Today this chair is $3,500 (It REALLY is this price).

AcuTouch® HT-7450 Zero-Gravity Massage Chair Features
The Human Touch AcuTouch® HT-7450 Zero-Gravity Massage Chair offers a combination of our patented Human Touch Robotic Massage Technology® with zero-gravity engineering design and a classy, refined look, including a choice of black or espresso top-grain leather/leather-match upholstery.

Dual-lumbar back heat-Two lumbar heat modules gently warm the lower back muscles, gradually reducing tightness and pain. Heat calms and soothes back muscles, preparing them for a more restorative massage and faster healing.

Foot-and-calf massager-It's ideal to massage the calves in an upward, rolling or wave-like fashion. This motion forces blood away from the feet and toward the core of the body. Only Human Touch offers this patented technology. The width and intensity of the foot-and-calf massager can be adjusted and customized.

Massage Comfort Control-Use the Massage Comfort Control function on the remote control to customize massage intensity. You can also use the Massage Comfort Control (in non-massage mode) to create a seating experience of unsurpassed comfort and relaxation.
Synchronized seat recline-As the chair reclines, the seat automatically tilts downward independent of the backrest, allowing the body to naturally move into the most comfortable and effective massage position. This patent-pending seat design provides superior lumbar support and allows for an optimal massage at any recline angle.

True-zero armrests-The armrests glide independently of the backrest as the chair reclines, ensuring the optimal ergonomic ratio between the arms and body. There is virtually no stress or strain on the neck, shoulders or arms while in a reclined position.
Zero-gravity design-Reclining into a zero-gravity position, with the lower legs above the heart, relaxes and decompresses the spine. This neutral posture increases blood circulation, enhances comfort and enables a more invigorating and effective massage.

Seat massage. Once only found in chairs twice its price, this innovative feature provides a relaxing air massage to the body's largest muscles.

Body position navigator-Legs-up — Deploys the footrest from a retracted position and presents the foot-and-calf massager, ready for use. Use this button to raise the footrest to the desired height.

Body position naviagtor-Legs-down — Lowers the footrest to a fully retracted position (foot-and-calf massager must be on top before retracting the footrest). Make sure the area behind/underneath the footrest is clear of any obstructions before retracting the footrest.

Recline — Reclines the backrest to a horizontal position.

Incline — Raises the backrest to a vertical position.

Lower body massage-Circulate — Activates the calf vibration.

Massage — Press to toggle among two fixed speeds and two auto foot-and-calf massage programs.

Seat (Air Impulse Massage Seat) — Activates the unique seat massage, which uses two rows of rapidly inflating/deflating air bags and a layer of Visco foam to create a precision seat massage.

Cancel and restore-Restore — Press and hold this button until the backrest returns to the full upright position.

Stop/Park — Stops the massage and parks the massage rollers at the top of the backrest.

Massage focus-Heat — Slowly heats up the lumbar region of the backrest to subtly soothe tired lower-back muscles.

Zone — Press to target your massage to a three-inch zone. Use the Position buttons to focus your massage on the desired area.

Position (up/down arrows) — Use these buttons along with one of the Manual Massage Modes to focus your massage on the desired area.

I PROMISE you this! The first person to try it WILL gladly trade it for a pinball game in a heart beat! Trading because I need a pin!

What kind of pin do I want? Some examples might be: Pinbot (need some cash to add), Space Invaders, Big Guns (restored), Black Knight 2000, Jungle Lord. I will consider any pin(s) made after 1979-80 actually and don't have a specific list. Any multicade that has 200+ officially licensed games.

I recommend you post this on your local Craigslist.

[monkplayer]

I did but pinball is almost non-existent in my area. In fact there is only about 3 places in a 200 mile radius with more than 1 pin.

There was a guy in Pensacola who ran a home arcade repair business a few year back. A quick CyberStalk (who says LinkedIn isn't good for something?) reveals that he now works at Fat Daddy's Arcade in Orange Beach.

His old web page:

I would drop him an email and ask for acquisition advice. Locals always know best.

[thomas_surles]

Pensacola is my home town. Been stuck in GA for the past 4 years. There really isn't much to choose from in pensacola. I remember the greyhound station on 29/ Pensacola Blvd. Was the only place to play centipede.
I never met anyone there with a cab or pin. Put I can name 10 people with Xanax problems...

But since you found an arcade building forum you could consider just selling the chair and fund a Mame build or even a dedicated or xx in one build. Take a look through the project announcements and give it a thought.

Jeffo,
Thanks for doing this work! I will update you on my progress.

I dunno ... guy has been fixing machines in Pensacola since 1980, including a stretch in home game repair. There must be something around to fix.

There are lots of collectors and machines out there, even in those places where people say there aren't. A cursory look on KLOV shows good sales activity in the area. A quick look on CL shows at least one active pinball collector. And some guy who wants to trade a massage chair for a pinball. 

The key to finding machines is finding the people who have machines.

Another tip to find local collectors, those "WTB any condition" ads are a good place to start.

[thomas_surles]

There definatly are collectors there. I creep on pensacola cl all the time for stuff I might be able to pick up while I'm in town. There are also a few places that use to have some good games. DeLuna lanes and carmine cinema on 9mile both had some good games. They might still have some there or in storage that they might want to part with.

Keep in mind that most of the time, those places didn't actually own the games but had agreements with local operators who put their games on location in those places in exchange for split profits. Remember that if you decide to go to the main counter and ask to see the back room where they're storin' the old games...

[thomas_surles]

That is true. There is a bowling alley here in GA that has a CarnEvil cab that stopped working and they stuck it in the back room. The door has a little window and I see its still sitting back there. (2 years now) Nobody there seems to know who actually owns it. I would really like to snag it.

Go see if there is a distributor/operator sticker on it.

Grab a work shirt, a dolly, and a clipboard and go steal it. I guarantee you won't be stopped or remembered.

[monkplayer]

The few games that are around here are all own by the local amusement companies, who don't keep them up very well. Well all know that route games take a real beating. Remember that I want to trade for a game not buy one, so I'm looking to do a trade for most likely an early year solid state game for my massage chair. Any more ideas on someone in my area that (if bought new today..see the above link) wants to trade for a $4,000 very high end massage chair? I'm only asking for a small credit for the chair.

[Malenko]

You're taking an already limited market and limiting it even more. I wouldn't trade my $900 Comet for a massage chair, and from what I've seen on pinside most owners only trade pins for pins not much else. Even trading a pin for a vid is rare, so I think a pin for a used massage chair is unheard of.

LOL. To make it easier there is a back door right there in the gaming area that the smokers use. It is out of view from the whole bowling alley...

[monkplayer]

I've spent a lifetime beating the odds fellas. I've already got an offer on the table as you were typing your comments. Lot's of pin owners have back and neck pain, and I got the gift that keeps on giving long after the money is gone; a nice even heated massage. Nobody has ever offered a $4000 massage chair for a $1,000 pin either, eh. 

[JDFan]

Probably easier to find someone that wants the chair ( few and far between)  - and someone else that has a Pin for sale ( fairly limited crowd ) -- than it would be to find someone that has a pin for sale that wants a massage chair ! 

[behrmr]

If you're looking to just pay cash for a pin you'll find that a lot of shop owners and pin collectors are willing to ship them.  I just a Revenge From Mars pin shipped to me from Fruitland Park, FL and it weighed 425 lbs.  The shipping cost was under $300 and I got it in 3 days.
