interesting to see these machines seem to be standing straight up and down.. no 2 or 3 degree lean...

Look at them closer they do tilt back ever so slightly.

I'm surprised at how close the machines are together. No gaps between them at all. I know space is a premium, but geeze! I guess they were counting on no portly pachinko players.

Hey Sid... can you create an album for Parlour Photos that everyone can post too?

That's a good idea. Don't know why I didn't think of it.

found more pictures.



I know they have shooter knobs but are still from the same time period as most vintages.

Sorry not parlor pics but I thought they were kinda cool.



◄ Supposedly this one was built in 73 by Kusuno. Anyone seen one of these before?

I also think the person who uploaded those photos may be a PT member. There are some other cool pics in there.

Like these.

Here's another photo I came across.

Also, a video tour of the ruination of the Toyo Bowl pachinko parlor, although I'm not sure what vintage machines were in there. The video isn't all that exciting but if anyone would find it interesting, it would be the fellow crew at PachiTalk:

Very interesting video. Wonder why they left so many balls behind?

I came across this photo the other day:

I have this picture somewhere! An old 8x10 with a clipping on the back from a paper that preserved the caption that had been run under it when it was printed. It's a bit cracked but still great, it just adds to the vintage feel of it.

Man...where is that picture??? I need to get it framed!
