I'd be on that in a second if it wasn't local pickup only. I'm a bit far away for that.

Good ol Smart Ball! Not sure if the balls are supposed to be glass though.

Thats what I was thinking too..I've never seen one that uses glass balls!? And I"m not sure I remember ever seeing one on US eBay..

That looks like a fun game

[MrGneiss]

I bet it would look great in your gameroom...If you ever finish it, that is..

[emmadog]

That looks like a modern-ish parlor based on it's looks and the peoples' dress. Yet those arepachis look to be vintage... Maybe it's one of those cheaper priced parlors with only older machines. Sorta like vintage arcades over here.

Yes it would, but it won't fit

Wow. Good way to get the kids addicted to pachinko when they grow up. Ingenuous!
I want it.

I wish I was close enough to see it before bidding. I am going that way in June and could pick it up but after looking at the game being played and looking at the insides of the machine, I would say their are a few missing pieces?? Like the scoring unit and attachments.
Afraid I would get it and have to try and figure out how to jury rig it to work. Now if Compirate would just drive over and inspect it for us and let us know his opinion it sure would generate some bids.

[compirate]

If I had any money, I'd get it no matter what!

[MrGneiss]

18 hours left...Its at $75 with 8 bids!!

I have some Vacation time on the Books now. If Compriate would lend me his Rig I would be ALL OVER That ! ! !

Spoiler

If he would also pay the fuel bill for the Trip . . .

Hi Guys and Gals,
I believe that I am currently the high bidder. I am an hour away from River Edge. Now you have me concerned that there are parts missing. I bid on it because I thought that it would be fun to try and figure out how it worked and if it needed work it would be a mechanical challenge. Does anyone here really know how it is supposed to work ? On vintage pachinko they seem to work on gravity and simple levers. Is this Smart Ball machine basically the same in your opinion from a simple mechanical point of view ?? If I win it, If any NJ members want to come over and work on it with me they are invited. I am in central NJ. Let's see if anyone goes higher tonight.

I'm pretty sure it's mechanical.

[Lt Teddy]

After looking at the video from ttc I do not think it scores. I think you win balls and therefore it might be pure mechanical. Looks like to me you might need to find some more balls but that will be the least of your problems. I sure hope you get it so we can all see how it comes out. Good Luck.

So...Do you win the auction, Frank??
