I recently purchased a large quanity of vintage chips off E-bay. 100's of them. paid a fair price and expected some old stuff . But the idiot Silly Me! Just thru the loose chips in a box along with chips in tubes that had rubber plugs in the end. No tape! No Bubble wrap! No foam peanuts No static bags.. Duh! Duh! frying pan frying pan . So all the tubes were empty whaen the package got here  hissy fit Parcel Post  no. The pictures say it all !!

He gave a full refund after Paypal saw the pictures.

Is proper packing that big a deal ?? Scratch Head Scratch Head

Chips that smelled like pizza would be OK , but not this worthless mess Duh!

Too bad, was a few good vintage chips in there that could have been saved and available to those of us looking for them   yummy

He offered a partial refund because some should be useable !!! I told him try again and escalated to ebay. He folded quickly!  Refund came from him. I had competition on this buy from some here I am sure.

Wow...what a mess of chips.
I highly doubt the broken chips happened during shipping though.
I have no idea how you can get that much force onto a chip to crack in half while in a box.

Take a chip that you know you won't use, bend the **"prongs"** over so you don't stab yourself  Duh!
and try to bend it.
I'll bet you cannot crack one in half.
I'd have to put one into a bench vise and crack the chip with a hammer!

No matter what, eproms should never, ever be sent through the mail system like that! lol
THAT is totally un-acceptable...

Use them to create a 3-D collage of modern art. Perhaps you could design a "picture" of a slot machine suitable for hanging on the wall.
You'd get more for that on eBay than you ever paid for the chips.  propeller

That was my thought too. Chip packages are very hard. I can't see it happening just from bouncing around in the box.

Well.........
I have seen "Pachislo" and even some IGT S+ machines offered for sale on Craig's List in the Islands.
So I guess they wont sentence you to death for owning one...
I will keep my Bluebird and 2 I-Games but wont have room for 20+ machines like here in Vegas.
I plan on playing more with radio there. I have boxes of Motorola VHF and UHF equipment. I have a UHF
HAM radio repeater I took out there 2 years ago and left it behind. I have been controlling it from here
VIA a 4 wire VoIP circuit. I plan to leave the "System" i have here in Las Vegas behind and control it from Hawaii.
SO....if given the choice of......

1> Live in Las Vegas and visit Hawaii once a year......

2>Live in Hawaii and visit Las Vegas a few times a year
enjoy a FREE room, take advantage of free slot money
Eat their free food,take the discounted airfare to vegas and back..


My vote.......#2 !!!!
