That was super smart and nice of you to do for me!

[hanabi]

no problem, all part of the job

Also, I did a little search and found some threads discussing the 'Togin' models

PachiTalk

You may find some helpful info in those threads, whilst we await our more knowledgeable Vintage members to respond with their thoughts

It is definitely showing the badge of 'Togin' in the pics which is a branding we believe originated from Nishijin

If you look at the first thread from my link, you will see that we have debated here in the forums about why Nishijin badged some of their models as 'Togin' and it makes very interesting reading

Thoughts on Togin

What that is, is a Togin machine. Basically Togin was a small brand the bought all of Nishijin's left over parts and built machines with mainly Nishijin parts but slapped their badge on it. The Togin machines are harder to come by however, because they are basically a Nishijin it doesn't make them worth much more. I thought they have always looked odd.

Also just FYI that machine in the ad is missing a few parts:
See-saw cover - not really needed
Jackpot cover - not really needed
White track cover - needed or balls will go everywhere. But you can buy a replacement one here Pachinko Replacement Parts You need the Nishijin one as that is the same back.
Also it is hard to tell but it looks like the wiring has been chopped up. But it isn't needed for play as it only runs the lights.

If you have any other question just ask. And once again welcome to PT.
