Newly minted Tachi Palace satellite (2 Viewers)

Hey guys, just wanted to say hello. I normally stick to lurking, but figured now was as good a time as ever to break the trend.

I came here searching for my first small cash game set and somehow ended up with 1000 Tachi chips (thanks jim!).

I couldn’t believe how well the good old Amazon suggested salad spinner + TSP + ultra sonic worked on these (I followed ski to a t).

Hope you guys have a great Sunday! Happy chipping

Hello and welcome!

Here’s what they looked like out of the box, will post cleaned and oiled pics later today, along with chip type breakdowns (surprised by how many variants there are).

Uncleaned they fit 20 to a barrel in the Spinettis 66.7 racks in case anyone was curious.

I been posting all my clean pics in the Black Friday thread. I had the same results. They came out looking great! Congrats on your set as this is my first set too!

Also doing a Justin's Greek mold replica of the Tachi 1k chip. Join if you are interested so we can split the fees. There were only 200 sold during the Black Friday sale and I'm trying to up my count for my tournament set.

Very happy with how they turned out! My ocd kicked in and I spent a while magic erasering the rack check marks after the ultrasonic. They needed quite a bit of oil (the one pick shows left most barrel oiled the rest thirsty), but look great. (Edit: Most barrels of the cleaned 5s fit 21 to a barrel now)

My breakdown turned out to be:
- ones: 141 yellow, 34 white, 25 20th anniversary
- snappers: 99 white, 1 burnt yellow (not a special edition or anything)
- fives: 325 white, 33 20th anniversary yellows, 9 30th ann, 9 series 1 21th ann, 4 series 2, 8 series 3, 3 NYE 2001, 6 Easter, 2 valentines,
- twenty fives: 96 white, 16 20th ann, 8 25th ann
- hundreds: 70 white, 35 yellow
-five hundreds: 11 white, 9 yellow

I think I’m only missing the Easter $2.50, the valentines $25, and the NYE $25. I have a second order of chips 60 or 80 chips (I forget how many ha) on the way so will update the numbers when they get here.

Hoping someone who got a tournament set might want to sell or trade a $1k chip - hard to kick the completionist itch now.

Using these for our tournament game tomorrow

With only 200 sold during Black Friday 40 racked checked auctioned there were only 160 in sold in sets. So maybe 4-5 people have them. There isn't a lot floating out there.
