Hanemono in the UK!!

[hanabi]

This looks like a hanemono type Pachinko for sale on UK eBay

Really cool horsey Merry Go Round feature in the centre too

Pachinko Machine - Pinball Machine **Collectors Item** | eBay

Good starting price of £49-99

I've seen a Monako 'Merry Go Round' before, but it was a 1990's model, this one looks earlier and Seller thinks it's 80's

Would love it, but it's not to be, and it's too far away, no idea if it's working either

Certainly looks like it is



wonder if it is the actual same one being re-offered?? Seems strange to have 2 of them in the UK, we are not known for an abundance of that era of pachinko

The other version I've seen is this one from 1994:

Its a different seller id from the buyer of the other one. Also a different part of the country

Well I collected this today.



4 hour round trip and 180 miles. not much to report yet. As seller said no balls, no transformer. It looks pyshically ok. exept for the odd dead spider and some slight marking around the frame lights on the rh top corner. Also the outer front glass is missing and so is the lock.



I have been unable to power it up yet due to the fact that along with no transformer, there is also no power lead from the circuit board.




If baby clam is good tomorrow. I might be able to make up a quick test lead and run it from one of my other transformers temporary.
It looks like a pair of spade connector that plug into the board on the top right corner.
Plus I have no idea how to play this type a pachi

Should be like other hanemonos - you need to get a ball in the #2 pocket, and when the flippers start moving get a ball into the center feature, and land it in the front center to keep it going in a fever mode. Hope you have a ball lifter or you'll be busy reloading the hopper! Enjoy your new toy

[hanabi]

Hey congratulations Mr Clam!!

I'm glad you were able to get it, it's one very interesting pachi for the UK

Looking forward to hearing what you think about it gameplay-wise and I think you got it for a very reasonable price

[Drunkenclam]

£50 a good price...If it works
But I like a challenge

[MrGneiss]

WooHoo!! I'm glad you got it..But I hope you didn't get rid any spiders..Hanemono's don't work without spiders!!

Just recently figured out that if the ball goes in the #1 pocket the flippers open once,and #2 wll open them twice in a row also the music is usually different as well
gratz on the machine, it's a real charmer!

[Drunkenclam]

Good News everybody.
it works perfectly except for a couple of bent nails that need straightening. Checked all the pockets last night. Alphaminor is spot on. The music is different and the flipper opens once if the ball goes into the 1 pocket.
Also goes into error if you don't get a ball into the centre feature. It sure pays out alot too Got 2 jackpots last night. Till the loud music started to drive me nuts Then called it a night
As its not a CR model I might have to invest in a 500en Ball dispenser, when I wall mount it.
Very pleased with my purchase

[alphaminor]

Gratz! what a great find!


my Sankyo Casino 2 does the error thing as well (guess they figured no one would pass up on the JP?)

as far as the sound, sometimes there will be a volume control set in directly behind the speaker when you open the ball tray,my early modern Sanyos do

I know the speaker is there. I'll have a look for a switch. If not I'll fit a pot in circuit

meant to type Sankyos not Sanyos

[MrGneiss]

Will we get a clamtastic video of it??

[hanabi]

[Drunkenclam]

I'll see if I can do something on Saturday

[Drunkenclam]

Well its a video but clamtastic
Found the volume control. You have to plug the plug out of the speaker circuit board and insert the lead into the other connector block. Sorry about the sound. But it is filmed in my kitchen

[alphaminor]

wow! very nice!
the psychedelic spinning background adds even more fun,
its my turn to say... "I'm jealous!"
