[yose]

I know they are both made by hiewa which are very good quality machines with great sound and clear lcd screensThe antonio inoki is in cartoon style animation with different scenes and action.In the bonus rounds it has actual photos of inoki.I don't think you would go wrong with either machine.

Also if you go to imatrixcanada.com they have a short clip of antonio inoki.They are no longer in buisness but still have the adds .

Hello

Pachinkos on the theme of 'Lupin III' are in our Research Centre, Heiwa have a few models and versions, so not sure which one you are looking at, and there may well be newer models not yet showing in our RC

PachiTalk Research Center - Heiwa - PachiTalk

I don't think Antoni inoki is listed in the RC, it looks to be a newer model and in the same metal frame as Maharaja

Sorry I have never owned or played these models, so can't offer any opinions on them, but hopefully other members can

[techdiver]

Both Machines are in the metal frames, both are CR..(which I didnt know) and according to the arcade history website.. the Lupin the 3rd is an 05 and the Antonio Inoki is an 04... that was the only year I could find that they produced that particular Pachinko Mach. I bought them both off of a Graigs List posting ... got them both for 175.00... I found that to be a price I couldnt refuse... any Idea where one might find an Owners/Operating Manual...It has buttons on the front I need to know what they do...please advise...and thanks all for your input...

Look for Daverobs "card reader emulator dongle". You can find them on eBay, about $50...or best offer. Well worth the investment! Simply plug it in, and instantly you can push one of those buttons and 50 balls (more or less at your choice, it is adjustable) pour into the tray! You select # of credits and they show up on a display you don't even know is there yet! You can even make the display brighter or dimmer. Plus a dozen or more options I'll probably never use. A wonderful option that you don't even know you need yet...but trust me on this one. YOU NEED ONE! Buy one for one machine...I promise you will want one for the other.

The buttons on the front don't do anything, they are used in the pachinko parlors to release balls into the machines.Like pachiwall said you can add an additional daverobs card to make them work just like the parlors do. Until you decide if you need the daverob dongle the machine will stil work fine ,you just manually load the balls into the front top ball tray to shoot. As far as manuals go you won't find one to easily. Most of us just learn from trial and error. Most problems are from dust and dirt in the ball tracks and rusty balls and loose wire connections.Keeping them clean is the most important thing and enjoy them both.Any questions are welcome at pachitalk.
