    Default Vintage Advice Needed

    Looking at these 2 games...no balls...no photos of the back. Owner claims they "used" to work but they just need a good cleaning.
    The Donald the Duck looks different and I like the look of the ball tray!
    What's your thoughts??? Price???
    Thanks!

    Nice looking machines from the front.

    Got the Heiwa and the New Gin (might be a ginza though). The Heiwa I have seen a few of so I'd say top value maybe around $50. The New Gin are harder to find so value around $75. Personally I'd buy them at $50-65 for both. But less is better

    100 machines and counting...

    The machines look good to me, but with out seeing the back sides, I can't say what they are worth. Assuming that all of the parts are there and nothing is broken, I personally would offer $45 each.

    I'm sure others will chime in as well.

    There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

    Everyone says they "used to work", they probably do. Just a ball jam, or seesaw reset. Get a pic of the backs and post them. If complete, (probably missing ball track cover) we can tell you. Aside from missing parts...you can make them work again! I agree with Max on price...and I'm usually willing to go higher than him.

    Seeing the machines front , side, back , top , and bottom and knowing what should be with these machines is the power for getting the best price for either buying or selling a Pachi . Thankfully you are a member at the Best Site In The World For Pachi's
    When things don't go right the 1st time , Step back ,Take a break and come back renewed. RGS

    Thanks for the help everyone! The owner wants $50 each if I get both, I'm going to pass. It's a 2 hour round trip and with no balls it doesn't appear to be a "deal".
    On to the next one
