New to Pachitalk

[Dasichi]

I have wanted a pachinko machine since the early 1990s when I saw a vintage pachinko machine at a friend's house (he obtained his pachinko machine from the Phillipines). I finally bought one and then another and then another . . . and I am thinking about buying another. The first 2 were bought from the same seller (Nishijin DX with a bowling theme and Daiichi New Vangurd Hi-Deluxe). Next I purchased a Nishijin Shiroi Komame with a Tarzan/Jungle theme). I really like the Nishijin Shiroi Komame because of the theme/attraction(s). My most recent purchase (today) is a Maruhon Super Fine Play MVP. I will post pictures of all of my machines as soon as I figure out how to.

My next purchase- I am considering buying a Popeye (private seller wants $200).

Look forward to learning from the available resources and other members of Pachitalk.

welcome to pachitalk!!!

Need a sanity check. I paid $50 each for the vintage Nishijin and Daiichi. Paid $150 for the Tarzan Shiroi Kamome and $150 for the Maruhon Super Fine Play (with custom wood cabinet). Assuming that these are all fully functioning and in good condition (no missing part, rust, etc.) am I over paying?

Is the 4th Generation Popeye overpriced at $200 (again assuming 100% working)?

Would appreciate any thoughts/opinions.

Thanks for the welcomes!

Welcome Aboard



Sorry, I don't know much on US prices. But this month everyone seems to want Popeye
If its working and comes with a lot of balls. Sounds good

That sounds about right for popeye, if it's 100% working.

Have decided to focus my collection efforts on the Nishijin Shiroi Kamome Model C from the 1970s. Have 2 in my collection already. Let me know if anyone is selling or knows of anyone selling a Model C and who is/are willing to ship to South Florida. Also may need some spare parts. Checked with Vintage Pachinko and they do not have the part I am looking for in stock. It is the clear plastic cover Immediately above the ball shooter lever/handle and immediately below the words "Shiroi Kamome". Sorry for my ignorance of the correct name/term.

Cheers!

if your looking for a specific part.. try posting a picture of the missing part/area it is missing from..

will help us all in locating one for ya

[Dasichi]

The part I am missing is the cover for the open space immediately below "Shiroi Komame". I look forward to finding out what this part is called and that someone has one for sale.

Lens or window I would think I can't remember if that part has ever been talked about in depth here

It may be hard to find one that fits but hopefully someone has a parts machine with what you are looking for. you may look into the whole upper tray and door as a replacement as lots of them fit even with different shapes of tray and plastics that are more style than function.

Good luck with the search

At least it is playable with that part missing
