    Default Masamura Pachinko Machine (PICS) - $200 (Ventura)

    http://ventura.craigslist.org/atq/2423377479.html

    Is this statement even true? "get the machine by the guy who started it all. Masamura was considered the founder of Pachinko"

    Also this machine has the same ball tray setup as my kyoraku sun 406. Same trays just different colors.


    100 machines and counting...

    A guy named Masamura developed the pin layout that almost all the vintage machines use but pachinko was around long before he set the standard. I doubt the company has anything to do with him other than sharing a name

    the lower tray is the same as my Kyoraku "electric" machines. They must have merged, been sister companies (Like Sankyo and Bisty) or used the same suppliers for parts they did not make themselves.
