New Guy here with Model A single shot
New guy here with a pic of my Pachinko machine. My brother in law brought this back from either Japan or Taiwan back in the early 70s.
Trying to find any info on it, I know it says Sophia on it and it's made by Nashijin, a model A single shot. And saw the video on youtube where they refer to it as a "recycler".
I have had contact with Billy at VintagePachinko.com about dvd's and a light kit for it, as the wiring is all butched on it.
One question in particular is on the red jackpot "see saw" on the back, it seems like there is a Pachinko ball inside of it. Is it supposed to be there (counterweight?) or should it be removed?
Also it's really hard to get the ball to even go to the top of the field, very "dead" feeling. On the tip that hits the Pachinko ball, there is a really cheap-looking spring, sort of like would be inside a retractable pen. Pics I have seen so far the spring looks really substantial, so might need a new spring. Am hoping that's all that's wrong with that.
Ok here I will try a pic, can anyone tell me if there is a specific name for this style, other than what I have said so far? Also is there a date of production on this somewhere?
