    Default How heavy?

    How heavy is a vintage Pachinko? Too heavy to carry around for an hour or so then take on a train?

    Heck, mine are both full of Pachinko balls at the moment, one came built into a heavy oak frame and weighs a LOT!!

    The other one is just as it was ripped from the parlours, and I tried to look up the weight when I was sorting a Courier, I was told it was about 10kg??

    Not sure if you have something to help you transport / carry one around, maybe something with wheels, like a luggage bag thingy??

    Weight would also depend on how it was packed / wrapped / protected too??



    Sorry I can't be more specific right now, but I hope another member can give a better idea, it would be great for you to get a Vintage

    I just put one of mine on a scale and it was between 25-30 lbs..(11-14 kg)

    I'm not sure how well this scale works, so it may not be that accurate..but that weight seems about right!!

    Looks like parcel monkey will be able to do a good deal on the courier and the seller is willing to pack. Hmm, do I bid now? Or do a snipe?
