Gachinko Pachinko

[hennaoj]

What is a Gachinko Pachinko? When were they made? Are they any good?

[hanabi]

I presume you are talking about the Gachinko 7 pachinko??

If so I believe it's a 2003 Taiyo Elec model

I can see an entry in the Research Centre, you need to scroll down the page that opens

PachiTalk Research Center - Taiyo Elec - Gachinko Seven - PachiTalk

It's not one I have ever played so can't comment on it's playability or anything, but I know it's one of the earlier moderns without the LCD screen

Hopefully other members can offer their opinions

I always thought Gachinko looked cool...I remember some people liked it, some didn't...I remember it came in an orange or yellow frame...Wish I would have gotten one when they were $40


Think it has a loud bell on the front Is this the one that plays YMCA too??

...I remember it came in an orange or yellow frame...

There's one for sale in UK with the Reddy / Orangey frame

Game play is ok but sounds is horrible. Like being in a tin can.

If you are going for this one it has no transformer, So that will cost you about 38 quid on
top of what you pay.
Then you have to fit it.
I can't comment on this machine, But it is it's 3rd ride on ebay.

I have the game in both case colors. It is fun to play and usually has to be turned down on the volume (cotton balls carefully placed in the speaker cone area help if you don't want to install a volume control).

No balls with it either. I've just had a reply from the seller but there is a bunch of spare parts.

I thought I wrote a review of Gachinko on that page. It's either gone or I don't know how to access it.
