    Please share your vintage pachinko parlor photos and videos.
    There is a very interesting video here:

    I found this one which I thought was interesting:

    That would be cool to get one of those ball counters in the video used to tally up your winnings!

    I came across this some time ago, what appears to be a late 1960's Japanese documentary on pachinko.

    I found it interesting because the 30 minute video shows just about every aspect of vintage pachinko... from factory footage to the parlor to the patrons rushing in to get the first picks of machines. I had to install a plugin on my machine for the video to play, but it also lets you download in RealPlayer format to play it later. I wish it were a higher quality video:

    I've got 2 of them, a Glory JB20P (with printer) and a Sankyo upright version.

    You can use Keepvid.com to save that to your computer, then use an FLV player to watch. it's an 88mb file.

    I have seen that photo before and like it because it shows how much tilt there was on vintage machines that were installed in parlors. I think it is a bit more than 2 degrees.

    If I'm correct I think it is around 5 or 7 degrees. (well that is what I set the nails on my machines at, at least.)

    That is a cool photo though. Can I ask where you found it? or for a link to it?

    100 machines and counting...

    Three more photos:

    This one from the 50's or 60's? It looks like the one on the end is open and ready for you to play:


    A couple servicemen said to be taken in 1963:


    These are said to be Japanese pinball machines. I've included them here because the photo is supposedly taken in a pachinko parlor. I wish the camera was more directed to the machine, I've never seen ones like these before:

    I am not sure the specific website, I just do general searches in various search engines.

    Kinda odd someone brought this thread up.I have actually been in search of a black and white photo of a vinatge parlor,m machines, or anything else like the. I'm trying to find a picture which I could expand to at least 24"X12". I'm trying to print some art for myself. And thought black and white pachinko pics would look cool.

    100 machines and counting...

    seems strange and yet neat that the 3 or 4 machines in the front of the pic are identical.. and yet these days twins are so rare...

    Odd, much of it is standing-only. I could not imagine a casino in the US without stools in front of the machines. The goal for the casino is for the gambler to be comfortable and remain until they have expended all of their money.

    I guess this was done due to the tight quarters in urban Japanese casinos?
