Help for a First-Time Buyer

[halflip87]

Hello,

Could anybody tell me more information about this particular Pachinko machine? I've also attached a picture of the back. Does this machine look to be in good working order as the ad claims? I'm interested in buying this as my first pachinko machine but I'm not too knowledgeable about them. Any help would be appreciated!

WELCOME!!!

I'm not a vintage person so I have no clue if anything is missing from the back or not, It looks to be a Nishijin 'A' type machine..The front looks ok to me, but its a tiny picture so can't tell for sure...There might be some water staining on the top, but again, tiny pic!!

Sorry I've been no help at all, but I'm sure one of the vintage gurus will be by to actually help you!!

Welcome to PachiTalk!

That is a Nishijin model 'A' series machine that was probably manufactured in the late 1960's or early 1970's. As mentioned above, it is really hard to provide a good assessment with such small photos, but the mechanics on the back appear to be complete. If you can request and post some larger photos, then we can comment further.

Personally, I don't think you can go wrong with a $40 purchase price, even if it is not working at the moment. Offer them $35 and see if they sell it to you. If you do have any problems with the machine, you have a global support group here at PachiTalk that would love to help you get it working.

Again, welcome to the club and good luck with your purchase!!

looks like a winner to me...

since it has a 9 volt attachment it looks like someone kew something aobut it...

thouse are hearty little machines.. not much to go wring unless they have been forced in some way..

i would offfer a little less but if ya have to pay 40 your not doing to bad... i have paid more for machines that were junk
