I have an older Pachinko machine from the mid 60s or older. They use these in Japan as a type of slot machine. They do not pay out cash but you get a receipt for the number of steel balls you turn in and take that to a nearby shop to exchange for prizes (usually cigarettes).
There is some skill involved (like a pinball machine) but it is a lot more sedate to play. My six-year old grandson loves it, but keeps me busy clearing the jams he creates or replenishing the balls when he loses! I would keep it around until he figures out it is really just a big time suck but we sold the house and have to dispose of it before we move to Florida.
I am asking $20 as it is or best offer for a fast sale. If I have to "tune it up" the price would increase. We have an Aug. 1st closing and need to clear things out ASAP!
