Greetings from Canada

[Wertyo]

Hi everyone, I'm really excited to join the community! I've got my first pachinko machine coming from Clover Collectibles next week and can't wait to dive into this cool hobby. It seems to be very rare in my area (Alberta) and so I'm happy to have found this site. My first machine is an Evangelion 10 Premium Gold version and I'll be sure to post some pics when it arrives!

Welcome to Pachitalk

Make sure you have plenty of balls and if you can invest in a Daverob dongle, you will find the experience more enjoyable. I used to charge up the dongle with 1000 balls and see how long I can play for.

welcome, and there are a bunch of us here scattered around Canada!

Glad to hear that! It blows my mind that Pachinko isn't more popular in the west.

Welcome to the friendliest forum on the web!

1974 Nishijin 'The Fish' aka Piranha

Caution...seller says it's wall powered.

[cait001]

It's a transitional electric, it's supposed to be plugged in. That is part of it's magic.
Hopefully they have a transformer, but whatever that can all get redone. GET THIS FISH!

May have been 120vac powered sadly.

Why is this a bad thing?

Why is this a bad thing?

The insinuation is that a 24V machine might have been directly connected to a 120V line zzzzzzappy zap
But unsure where they got that idea
