Title: ORIGINAL HANKIN COCKTAIL OR NEW ONE
Post by: GORGAR 1 on April 08, 2012, 08:10:57 PM

I have an original taito table but now want a Hankin cocktail my question is should i look for an original and pay $800 or even more or look at a new repo one for $1500 which has 60 games installed. I like the idea of a new one next to no problems and plug and play but also like something that's been on site and has some history attached to it.

Go the original mate.  I think there may be a question mark on where the new ones are made and the overall quality and longevity of the machines.  At least Hankins were made here in Oz and are tried, tested, proven.

I reckon your right Blair I'll keep an eye out for an original.
