Thanks Hanabi. I won the bid on the No legs No balls and busted tray.It is a lot worse than that.Two of the top spinners are missing..looks like a kid has taken it apart and never put it back together.just like used to do .The internal payout levers are missing and most of the screws holding it together.Is anyone brave enough to take pictures of their internal levers so i have some idea on how to make my own.I don't want to throw it away or sell it as a lemon.

[MrGneiss]

I'm not sure if I'm brave enough to take mine apart...Hopefuly someone else can help you out...If not then maybe I can talk my self into taking mine apart!!

[Mudplugger]

Thanks Mr Gneiss.The fact my one had most of the screws missing.it was easy to take apart.It is quite basic inside.no need to take the screws out the bottom front part.just the screw by the ball shooter at the front and all the screws from the back.Pull the hammer back while lifting the perspex out from the front.while holding the machine vertical.the spinner should stay with the glass.lay the machine down after removing the front.the play board metal sheet lifts out exsposing the back pall guide and the payout mech.might be a time to find any lost balls and clean the play field .Put back together in reverse order.I fully understand if your machine is in good working order why you would not want to take it apart and risk breaking it.

[Mudplugger]

I had another look at Epoch Pachinko I purchased from Ebay.Looks like there is more things missing.Thanks To Mr Gneiss's post of a picture of an old epoch machine on ebay.So I am going to write this one off as a bad purchase.Some you win some you lose.So no need to pull a machine apart and take pictures for me now.

The $63 one is still available!!

The rerelisted one went unsold..again..

And the last one went for $9.99!!

[MrGneiss]

Here's an odd one...While the start is too high at $30 for one with no box or feet and only 5 balls..The odd thing is that the seller states that they are the original owner and that its "all original" BUT the next thing they say is they are not sure if the balls are original?? What?? And that it "Fits nicely in lap"??

Here's one that looks to be in ok shape, but no balls or box..It does have feet though, but the start is a tad high at $19 for one without stuff..
