    if possable you should go check it out first, you could buy it right then if it seems to be in good working condition.

    When I read:

    This machine I have never played so I'm not sure how it works but seems to be in working order, and has quite a few steel balls.
    It is a PIG IN A POKE

    It's a very old pachinko machine, you can see the shooting ramp almost all the way down. Beware as Arby says, they are avoiding saying that it works, which means it is 99.999% chance it -doesn't- work. And while some older ones can be repaired, it may take buying other machines to get parts.

    There are better newer mechanical ones on eBay right now, though you will pay a little more for them.

    That one is very similar to my vintage nishijin. It is a neat old machine -- but only if it works. :lol: If he could send you a nice close up of the back of the machine to see if the mechanical parts are there that should be, maybe you could make a decision?

    Here is mine for comparison. If you do get a back picture from the seller, I could email you the back of this one.

    I really think the only way to be sure on this one is to drop by in person and try it out. The price seeems good if it works.
