i just bought it:
Vintage Japanese Misono Pachinko game - eBay (item 360033865695 end time Mar-16-08 18:30:02 PDT)

an oldie but a goodie

I would guess around the 50's or maybe eariler

[compirate]

Thought that one looked familiar. Mine's a Misono Deluxe. The similarity I noticed was the payout tray and ball insertion plate, both of which aren't in the below picture. Every time I see a machine on Ebay that looks like one of mine, I have to go and find it to see if the family has been putting them up behind my back.

It's in the middle of being rebuilt, with a few enhancements. Those spinners are just jewelery pieces I got at the craft store to cover the original spinners.

There's not more than one ebay is there? I've been enjoying looking at all the different machines that come up in a daily search of "pachinko" and I never saw that one! Or did you just spot it and snap it up real quick? Great find!

[luckydog]

nice pickings BB i wished they came up more often over here as Liza is turning in to a vintage junkey

[birdbrain]

couldn't have been on for more than 10 mins or so !!

[sharmoni]

I just got one too! Here's mine (eBay shot—I'll take a better one when I get it all cleaned up). I've been drooling over these vintage machines ever since I saw rick-okc's pic of the one he restored: PachiTalk

[garfield]

Hehe, I bet you weren't the only one here looking at that machine. But for me to bid on it plus the shipping costs, would make it a bit expensive, even for a nice oldie like that Have fun with it !!

[sharmoni]

I got lucky: I was the only bidder, so the price didn't get bumped up. Plus, at the moment I have more money than sense (soon to change—money-wise at least).
