Unknown Pachinko * HELP *

[ollium]

There is ab unknown vintage Pachinko to sell in my hometown.

Spielautomat machanisch Japan Pachinko Sanyo bei eBay.de: Automaten (endet 27.02.10 13:46:12 MEZ)

I don't know if the price is ok for that machine ?
The condition is not really good i think.
The price is 65,-Euro (US$88).
So could you tell what it is and if the price is ok ?
Thx a lot, Olli

Hello

it looks like a Vintage Nishijin Type A pachinko

It looks like there is some water staining to the cell and the chrome work needs some attention

I'm not sure whereabouts you are, and not sure whether these are rare in your area, like they seem to be in the UK,

[ollium]

Ok, must update my profile
I'm from Germany and Pachinko machines are extremly rare here!

[hanabi]

in that case it may be a good chance to get one, although you won't be able to clean up the cell staining, you should be able to clean up / restore the rest of it

If you look at some of the 'sticky' threads at the top of the Vintage Forum

Vintage Pachinko

You will find lots of useful info especially the 'summary' thread and also some videos on how they work

You can also compare that one with others that our members own and have restored, so you can see if anything is missing, and exactly what you may need to tackle

It may also help you to negotiate a cheaper price, if you do decide to go for it

Here is anaother one i could get, i think this one is in better Condition
Is it also a Modell A ?

I have restored one just like that - it's a bowling theme. When you get a ball in the centerpiece, the ball rolls down the minature "bowling alley" and hits the bowling pins. Then the light inside the alley flashes when the jackpot pays out. It's a fun machine!!

It looks complete based on the photos you posted, and even comes with a small original ball tray. The cell looks like it has a lot of water stains, but then again it's hard to find a vintage that old without some water stains on the cell.

I hope you are successful with getting a vintage machine!

Yes, it looks like another model A, the tray half way down is the usual sign of the model A machine

It does look to be in a better condition too, sadly I recently missed out on one of those for sale on eBay with the bowling theme, it does look fun

Here are some close up pre-restoration photos of the one I worked on.

congrats on your search

That pachinko that is on ebay along, the same seller has the pinball games for sale. Every one of his pinball games has extreme watter damage. I would not buy any thing form him. The building where he took the pics look wet and damp.
Stay away from that seller.
Get the bowling themed one. That looks like it has been taken care of a lot better. Get that one.

I've called that seller on ebay by telephon yesterday and all the things are all little bit messy i think.
I hope i could get the one from the netherlands with that bowling theme.

@JACKSJE4
Very nice machine

[digital1]

I liked the bowling one better also. They both look like they had the covers and wiring.
I wouldn't wory about the water stains, It makes it look vintage. You only need to change the cell if you can't stand what it looks like.

Buy it, Love it, enjoy it, and then buy another...and another.

In two weeks i pick up the Bowling Pachinko for 75,-€
The machine was owned by the seller since the 70's ... so i hope it is in good condition.
When i picked it up, i will post some more better photos.

congrats

from what i can see in the pic provided it looks compleat (Lights will need a bit of work)
Every one needs a model "A" machine
