    Default Introduction

    Not sure what the protocol is here, but I thought I'd say hello before inundating you good people with questions.

    My name is Bill. While I am new to the forum, I'm not new to pachinko. I picked one up about 10 years ago, built a cabinet for it, and have it hanging on the wall in my game room. I've recently picked up a second off ebay. After A LOT of clean up and some adjustment, it seems to work well. The only other one I repaired is working fine after I dug 108, count em, 108 balls out of the thing after they transported it with the balls in it. I've since given the owners clear and concise directions on how to unload the balls before transport.

    Looking forward to see what the future holds here.

    Thanks to all for the warm welcome!

    Here's a pic of my first machine:

    pachi1.jpg

    I didn't realize how cruddy and dirty it looked until I cleaned up the new aquisition:

    pachi2.jpg

    She's all cleaned up, but not quite ready to go. Need to work out some sort of a 'tray empty' switch, the original is gone. The front acrylic is chipped and badly scratched, I'm going to replace with glass. The thing was absolutely filthy when I got it. It looked like it had been played for 100 years, then set in a barn for another 100 years. The little window that lets you see into the tray had grime so ground into it, I couldn't clean it, I had to replace. Spent 2 workshop nights cleaning the crud off the ball path and the dust out of the back. A few minor adjustments, and off she went.

    Guess I need to pull my first one off the wall and clean her up before my big 4th of July party.

    What brand is that first machine? I have never seen one like it. Also if you get a chance can you post a picture of the back of it, because you sparked my interest.

    MX, the machine is a Heiwa. I'm going to post more pictures of it, but I'll do it under a seperate thread. The more I look at this thing, the more questions I have about it. Look for a post from me labled "Mystery Machine", probably Tuesday.
