Newbie, just got a vintage sankyo...i think

[vdubjim]

scored it for 25.00.

it mostly works, im missing a few small bits near the teeter tawter and to the left of the small bell.

anyone got good pics so i can begin fabbing parts, or have a parts machine?

i seem to be missing the 'tunnel' that goes from the teeter tawter to the long pivot arm, and i have a small metal rod and a brass looking bracket on the teeter tawter not connected to anything.

Welcome to the darkside your training is now complete

Welcome!

That's a good looking machine... There are a few vendors selling parts for these vintage pachi's, so you should be able to find what you need.

Here is one.

Pachinko Machines, Manuals, Balls, and More - Vintage Pachinko, LLC

I've picked up a few things from them in the past.

Welcome to PachiTalk! - You will find a lot of helpful people here.

I think one of my machines is similar to yours. I will take some photos of the back so you can make a comparison to figure out if any other components are missing.

here's some pix of my sankyo. i'm in salinas and the machine is in berkeley, so let me know if you need closer shots once I get home. I like the sankyo machine. this one and my daiichi are the most reliable machines. they feel more solid to me than nishijin's or sanyo's.

good luck with the restoration. I can take measurements and stuff if you need, too.

[MrGneiss]

WELCOME!!

HI! and WELCOME!

Sorry I cannot help with the parts you need as I only collect Nishijin pachinkos.
(so far...I want an older Taiyo Electron machine soon. When you see one you will too.)

Good luck fabing the parts you need.

Maybe better to use this:

Search Tempest - Craigslist Helper & More!

to find another like it or to find one to play until you fix this one.

Either way take pictures and try to avoid...The Addiction
(One for now. It will double every few months.)

looking at the pix, it seems that it is mostly a plastic cover and chute that you need to replace.

does the seesaw work properly?

only other thing I see is the bottom tray full lever that blocks the shooter. this one I consider optional, since I usually don't get that many jackpots.
