Pachislo Database

Well I guess I would call it a semi-pinball machine. I saw these on Target.com clearance for $149 shipped and hinted to my wife about it. Within two days of hinting I got it! An early birthday present from my kids, my son loves it! I thought my friend and I were going to destroy it on Saturday night, we nudged the crap out it and it survived!

I had almost bought one like that last year from Best Buy. It was Pirates of the Caribbean themed. The legs were kind of flimsy so I passed on it. That machine would look cool next to the Marvel Heroes pachislo. Just what I need, another distraction at home

The Marvel machine is the same layout as Pirates and has some improvements? For $149 shipped its a nice addition to the game room! Get them while there hot! : )

I have to admit. The $149 price tag is very tempting.....must resist

I see those on craigs list also. some are CHEAP! $40-$60 for that price I was tempted also.
I see Devon's next custom machine. a Beerfest pinball.

People have been already modding these. Mostly beefing them up with actual pinball flippers and adding some small bumper posts. They are all the same layout. Once the machine starts breaking the modding will begin!

It looks pretty cool! Now when you get your video pin done, you can host tournaments, or pinball night.

Thats a good idea! I'll have to get my Bartop Mame done also, everybody can switch.

yeah thats cool
would look way sweet like chris said

OMG that looks so cool. Never been tempted for a pinball before. Why is it only a semi-pin? I would so get killed if I even asked to buy it. LOL! I was lucky to squeeze in a vintage pachinko recently.

I call it a semi-pin because its smaller and a little on the cheap end compared to a real pin. I'm waiting to see something break soon. My 4 year old son and I beat the crap out of it. He loves playing it and has actually gotten pretty good! Are you enjoying your new/old pachinko?

I play my vintage pachinko more than my newer ones. 1950's vintage single shot 2friki or 2frihi (actual name) It is here in the office with me along with 2 full size pinball's.

Not able to restore it yet, so it's just sitting against the wall. I shot a few balls through it. One went into a pocket, the others out the back.

When restoring it don't do what most folks do, Love it to death!
Giving a dirty old pachinko a good bath will wreck it! the best Ebay machine I have gotten are non working "parts" machines, why? nobody gave them a bath to pretty it up to sell. the moisture from cleaning seeps behind the nails and gets under the PF coating and causes staining. look close near the nails most Ebay vintage machines have this nasty discolored ring around each nail. It usually is greenish gray from the copper in the nails.

It Just went down to 99.99 on clearance! I just got 1. This looks like a great alternative then a 4000 dollar pinball. And I have a 5 year old that will love it.!!! Get yours before they are gone!@

Does any one know how much is the shipping on that? I dont feel like signing up for a target account just to find out how much the shipping is.

Chris, its still the same price I got it for! Pinball $99.99 + Ship $40.19 + Tax $9.81 = $149.99 The shipping maybe slightly different to you. You can use your Amazon account also to pay for this if you have one.

Well for me it would be a whole $144.95. Woohoo!! Do you still like your Devo? I am strongly considering this for my kids At least that is what I told my wife

Its actually a hard pinball, I have not beaten the machine as of yet. You have to hit certain targets that represent each of villians 3 times each. I've been very close to beating it, getting down to the last villian usually Venon! Its also good for kids my son plays it at least five times a day. He even rocks the machine to get extra points! Your kids will love it!

it just looks very cool!
if I had the room
