Angry_Radish:
Thanks for the update, well I guess it's just as well I missed it, the wife would have killed me for coming home with another 3 or more cabinets :)
Were the slot machines actual slots, or the Pachislo skill stop machines?
Cheers!
:cheers:

Yeah, we missed you Radish. I had a great time at my first auction and it was a huge help to have Drew walk me through the way things work. And just for the record, the slot machine we bought was not pink, it had skulls and manly stuff on it. I merely pointed out the pink one as being cute and sexy. ;)
The wife was all about the Pole Position and being the restoration genius I am ( :laugh2:) I figured I'd take a chance on one that wasn't working properly. Once I got it home I got it working in exactly the way Drew said. Try that sledgehammer to the neck trick, works at least 0% of the time.
We really wanted that Star Wars Episode I pin and the wifey was willing to do just about anything for it. No flashing, but she was trying hard for the $100 or $200 discount they were throwing around. If she did flash we would have had a free pin! :cheers:
If I had more room in my van (which is usually parked down by the river) I would have wanted many more of the arcade cabs that went in the $100 or less range.
I also got something that not many other people have seen, a picture of Drew. :dizzy:

By the way, the slots were those skill stop versions. The kids are having a fantastic time with it.
Angry_Radish:
Nice!
If you haven't heard of it yet, check out http://www.pachitalk.com , the best resource for pachislo and pachinko info, they are pretty addicting to collect, takes up much less room than an arcade cab:-)
Cheers! :cheers:
BTW, for those that don't visit there, there is a thread on the milw auction on the KLOV forums.. http://forums.webmagic.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=0&Board=UBB3&Number=436026&page=0&fpart=all

i don't think I saw anything about this listed for the upcoming Ohio Gas show
heres the info:
http://www.ohiogas.info/
i think i read somewhere (man! i sure cant remember where...) that USAA is going to have... 150 machines there?
edit: saw it on eBay, coincidently listed from the guy I bought my empty centipede cabinet from!
from the cached eBay listing (was taken down, i assume because someone thought they were bidding on machines...)
"SUPER AUCTIONS WILL BE HOLDING AN AUCTION ON SATURDAY AT 10AM WITH 150 ARCADE GAMES!!!
THATS RIGHT, 150 ARCADE GAMES AT AUCTION ON SATURDAY MAY 5TH."
