Repair Service near Seattle, Washington?

[Donna]

About 10 years ago, I borrowed a Pachinko game from a friend for my son to use. Now it doesn't work. I kind of remember vaguely that some simple wire broke, but now I don't remember what broke.

I'd like to know if there is a person in the Seattle area of Washington (or within 50 or so miles) that would like to fix it for me. I'd like to return the Pachinko to my friend in working order.
I can take a picture of the Pachinko game, if that will help someone.
You can PM me

Thanks very much, Donna

Welcome to PachiTalk Donna

I think pics are going to be helpful, if possible a pic of the front, and probably more importantly some good clear pics of the back, so that the members can see the rear workings, hopefully they may be able to see what is missing or needing adjusting

I'm assuming its a vintage pachinko!?

If you can post some good pics and try to explain what's not working I bet someone here will probably be able to talk you through fixing it yourself!!

Yes, it is a vintage model, or I should say that I think it is.
I made a Picassa Web page of photos.

You can see on the back that there is a lever that is detached.

Basically, when you move the silver lever to get a ball into the machine, nothing at all happens.

I don't care about the lights, for now, I'd just like the ball to run through.

Thanks so very much. I'd appreciate any help. Just remember that I am not real mechanical, so keep it easy, please!!

I've always loved that crab machine...Hopefully one of the vintage guys will be by soon to help you out!!
