New to Pachinko with first vintage Mizuho

[techman]

Hello All:
I am new to this hobby. Last week I bought my first vintage machine at a local auction. Don't know much other that it appears to be a 60's-70's Mizuho mechanical machine. It needs to be cleaned out, new plexiglass and rewire lights and switches. I been reading the posts here, lots of good info, thanks for those that post. Here are pictures from my machine, notice the USA and a makeshift uncle Sam. Hope to soon get some pachinko balls for the machine. Thanks if you can share any other info on Mizuho company history or year/value.

Thanks
Techman

Thanks for the comments, I been searching for info specific to the Mizuho company all over the net and I have not found much out there.

I'm pretty sure that Mizuho was bought out by one of the other manufacturers.

Did you ever find anything out about your Mizuho machine? I have one also that seems to be about the same timeframe. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!
