    Buying this one from Carl (thank you)

    Nice little restore job too (I'm assuming it's your's, not the old owner's?) - has your look of cleanliness, clear colours and shining chrome.
    There is always another machine around the corner...

    Did clean the playfield, the shooting tray and the chrome frame, you have an eye for details!

    Can you post a picture of the back please? Just curious.
    Only if it is different than the one I posted. I wondered if it was the next generation of machine...

    Hmm. Odd. One pic got swapped with one of yours? Oh well. Look under thumbnails for the non-rotated version.

    Also. Need to put something under steel cover to cut down on ball abrasions... Telflon strips perhaps.
    Woof!

    I think cardwii might sell a replacemnt plastic cover. Not sure it is exactly the same as a model C.

    Well Carl - I finally got all my pachis out of storage as I moved back to the east coast, from the west.
    The ones from the last container, including this one, were now available to test.

    Unfortunately, I remembered as I pulled this one out, that it was in fact THIS one that had taken a tumble out of the truck in McLean, as they were loading it in.
    'Whoops'... said my US agent...' The boys got careless'.

    I quickly forgot about it - until today.

    Damage is that the shooter won't run at all - everything looks OK, but the thing just won't do anything.
    Everything else works perfectly, after I adjusted the game back into its frame, where it had unevely dislodged after falling some 4 feet on it's head, to the earth from the truck.


    Thoughts?
    There is always another machine around the corner...

    Is there a way to stop the balls from shooting out the back of it?

    Do you mean out the back at the bottom??

    Thats where where balls come out on all pachinkos once they are shot..You'll need to put a small container back there to catch the spent balls..Even just a cheap Tupperware type container will do, of course the bigger it is the less often you'll have to empty it..

    Can I resurrect this thread? I am buying one of these tomorrow. Mine looks like the one Carl posted originally, is that the 80s version or 1992? I need some info how to fix it, was told its all working except the ball shooter doesn't work.

    It's the 1992 version, I just picked up one of these last week. It does appear to come in a couple different frames however, I would be looking for a shooter off the particular frame yours has if it's not an easy fix like a loose connector. Keep in mind parts will be difficult to next to impossible to locate when you're negotiating the price with the seller.

    Here's mine, FWIW I paid $55 for mine in perfect working condition, but it was part of a package deal with 3 machines/1 cell so I got a pretty good deal.
