I have had this for about 15 years and keep saying I want to sell it and finally pulled it out and here it is for sale. This thing is heavy but is in perfect working condition. It operates on tokens but can be easily converted to coin operation. We have keys for the machine. This may be an antique with possibility of being worth something of more than I am asking but dont know. I am firm because it may be a hot item if antique. No trades serious inquiries only reply to tom at ***-***-**** $250 not a penny less

It's a COLLECTABLE.....it's a ANTIQUE........It's a piece of Japcrap!
For christ's sake they didnt sell (and dont) for $250. I have owned a few Pachislos when I lived in the control freak state of Californication.
Most are insanely BORING.When I moved to Las Vegas I GAVE most of them away. 2 of them i drilled a hole in the top and installed a table lamp in them. I have to admit they ARE good for this duty!

The the guy trying to sell this thing, LET GOOGLE BE YOUR FRIEND.....

$250......this guy is on drugs........

Here is the rule of thumb..and I doubt it qualifies.....

The definition of antique varies from source to source, product to product, and year to year. However, some time-tested definitions of antique deserve consideration, such as the following:
"An item which is at least 100 years old and is collected or desirable due to rarity, condition, utility, or some other unique feature. Motor vehicles, power tools and other items subject to vigorous use in contrast, may be considered antiques in the US if older than 50 years, and some electronic gadgets of more recent vintage may be considered antiques. Another general rule of thumb is 75 years for most objects to become antiques

But is a cool piece of Japanese history from at least 15 years ago. Things were different then, it has to be worth thousands!  

There was a guy here locally on craigslist trying to sell a Pachislo for $600 because it was an "authentic" casino machine from a Japanese cruise ship. Another had a skill stop machine that he wanted $500 for and said it was an Aristocrat machine. Sometimes I just want to emaiil these people and tell them they are crazy but I'll leave that up to the buyer to know what they are talking about.

I bought one for my first machine but it was only $80. I'd hate to see someone pay hundreds for one because they don't know what they are doing.
