I'm planning on going and bringing a few items. We'll see what the
turnout looks like--sounds like it will be a buyer's market....

I'm going to miss it, unfortunately. Hate to miss the last auction of
the year--especially when reports seem to indicate that the Baltimore
auction last week was a real buyer's market--but I just can't go.

Anybody headed to the Winston auction this saturday???

The best way to get what you want out of a MAME machine is to build
your own. That way you have control of the button layout, artwork,
installed games, and shape of cabinet. If you decide to go that path I
can list several usefull resources.

I'm looking for a (mostly) complete MAME machine in the Raleigh area.
Preferably something that looks like a 1980's machine, with one joystick and
a couple of buttons. Perhaps a trackball. Nothing so grandiose as the
monster panels I've seen in some of the prefab MAME cabinets.
If you have one for sale or have any suggestions, please email me.

Wow! Lots of interest in Pachinko machines! Got tons of responses, so I
went by time stamp on the e-mails. Don Shoemaker is the winner! :-)

Dave,
If your willing to ship it let me know what it would cost. I'm
interested in it. I'm outside the Asheville area.... my zip is 28753

I was going through some pinball stuff and came across a couple of
backglasses that I forgot about. They were part of a bulk purchase a
few years back, and have been in storage since. They are for :
1982 Bally Rapid Fire
1987 Williams Space Station
They look to be in good condition. I don't want to try eBay and hassle

A friend of mine gave me a pachinko machine last week. Seems to be
complete--power supply is included but not attached. Also has a box of
balls. My friend told me he had it for over 20 years and never used it.
I don't know enough about these things to even attempt attaching the
power supply. Thought I'd take it off his hands as a project, but I

sorry also has speed chip installed and it came with an
extra "board" not sure why but its included also.
