Hanemono? in the UK

[hanabi]

I think this is a Hanemono type pachinko??

NISHJIN and SANKYO RARE SEMI AUTOMATIC PACHINKO MACHINE in full working order | eBay


For sale on eBay UK, seller describes it as

NISHJIN and SANKYO RARE SEMI AUTOMATIC PACHINKO MACHINE in excellent and full working order

,Complete with instruction, large quantity of ball bearings and original mains adaptor.

but looking at the cell, the writing is definitely 'Future Trend Nishijin' so I'm thinking the manufacturer confusion could be caused by the generic instruction booklet accompanying it??

I would love a Hane, but it's way too far away and the starting price is a bit steep at £215, the seller appears to be a vintage toy dealer.

Although expensive, I'm posting this because someone may be interested and it would be nice to find out more about the theme and centre feature (plus I'm stealing the pics for future reference )

Hey Ang

It is indeed a NISHIJIN hanemono called もちあげ隊 (mochiage-tai, or 'the lifting guys/company')

and the Seller is confused about it being a Sankyo. Perhaps the documentation he shows erroneously mentions that maker name?

Pity you can't get there... I'm such a hane tragic I'd travel 500 kms to find one, but then, I do live over here!

and you're right - it wasn't on my site DB.

So will add it right now - thanks for the heads up!

Why get ed
Only 20 minutes away from me, but not at that price considering my hane was £40
