    Default (now rehomed)1970's coin operated computer Pachinko Machine, free in Tacoma, WA

    Hello all,
    Years ago, I picked up a unique machine. It is a free standing coin operated computer pachinko, has a light in the top, takes quarters. I know these have been seen and discussed a little bit here over the years.
    Anyway, a piece of plastic broke in ours, near the ball loader, rendering it unplayable. The coin and computer board system still works fine, and the machine is in good physical shape.

    Cleaning out the garage, and am offering it free to anyone who wants to pick it up. Do not want to throw it out, as I know working, these seem to be worth a few hundred bucks. Any local collectors want it?

    Eamil spoolframe@aol.com.greentroep (remove greentroep) put that in to discourage spambots

    Thanks,
    Bill in Tacoma, WA

    Wow!! What a great deal!! Can you post a picture or two? There are several versions of the Computer Pachinko.

    I really wish I were local to you. I would love to use it for parts for mine.

    I would put up pics, but not that computer savvy. Email me for pics. Want it gone this weekend. This one is aclled "racer" if that helps identify it. Saw picture of this same one on these forums years ago.

    Somebody did indeed jump on it. It has been spoken for. Glad I was able to pass it along to a fellow collector. :-)

    . And the good home is. Picked this very nice machine on my pachi hunting trip of the pacific northwest. Pictures to follow when I get home. Excellent condition and just as represented. Was more impressed with the 39 pins, 15 + slots and Jukeboxes and one pachinko Game.
    It was nice meeting with Bill and his wife and playing some of the machines. He has more room for machines than I have in my whole place. Thanks again
