Best Vintage Pachinko Game !!!

[CarlW]

This is the Best Vintage Pachinko game!

Sorry, there can be no dispute; it clearly says, right on the playfield; "More Best".

Had the frame and front tray door powder coated flourescent green; a severe rust fix.

Added one green LED (with a 330 ohm resistor) near lock / key tied into a new jackpot microswitch.

Again, sorry everyone, this is "More Best" than any other vintage machine...

[browne92]

Clearly, no other machine can compete. I concede to your More Bestness...More Bestyerness...More Bestessness...Oh hell, you win, I quit.

Looking nice Carl! Anything you work on looks the "BESTEST!"

[mxfaiman]

Looks good Carl but it isn't the best.

This Maruhon is the 'Best Machine'

[Chumsize]

Well crap. No way I'm driving to Manteca to get this then. Apparently only "Best". Too pricey too

Again, really sorry, clearly... "More Best" wins. Maruhon is a 10 but Ginza goes to 11...

He's got you there Max! Besides, yours looks like Miinie Pearl - HEE HAW! Take that tag off!

Hey Carl...how much did the power coating cost? It really looks good! Love the green!

$75 retail. Sandblast and powder coat. Tiger Drylac color. Good idea to mask areas where the hinge pins are (I did not)

[jodini]

Thanks Carl!
So Max...is that tag with #126 an inventory number!!! I saw how you have those pachinkos stacked up in your warehouse! Holly cow!

No those pics borrowed from Billy at vintage pachinko

Here is the rest of that machine. 1970s Flower - VP0126 - a set on Flickr

Billy has worked on a lot of machines but he has never owned as many as me.

Yes quite literally, more best is better than best. The only thing that could be better than more best would be most best, but in a hypothetical situation where more best preceded most best, more best would take the title of, the absolute best.
The beautifully themed and very stylish Maruhon you have the Mx is no light 2nd by this terminology. I REALLY, like that its gorgeous. Shoot they both are but Im a sucker for blue and you know, Ima' ah dee ima' dye

These two machines are obviously top candidates for potential future vintage pachinko simulator projects if I do a pure vintage machine. Arrange-balls are just so rare (I still dream Maturi of Apollos and Penguins, a nice vintage or an Arrange-ball) and I am curious if there are any "best" arrepachis.

I found my Ute Ute Jyanshi (the misnamed Maturi Allwin) by complete chance and even two apollos but sadly, one was out of reach (1 of a $1,500.00 lot) and the other was not available for shipment. I am keeping my eyes peeled.

Thank you Carl and Mx! Funny posts!

All the machines listed here are clearly and unequivocally the best of the best!

Nice Eiffel 65 shout out!

Bet you like Playstation a lot too?

[Rival]

I may not have the best machine, but I did have a Nice Machine!

It is also wonderful and good.

This is a SANKYO with a cured problem. Frame with SEVERE rust, rusted all the way through the chrome.

This was powder coated blue to match the shooting tray door color.
The blue that looks lighter or discolored is actually just light reflecting off the chrome plastic parts...

Cost is about $60 retail for just the frame. The door was already coated in a blue stippled plastic.

Thought this thread might morph into powder coated projects...

[Card Shark]

Might be a good idea to start a new thread on powder coating. Would be a lot easier to search and find later that way.

[mxfaiman]

I think the blue looks pretty good. I'm also glad to see you left the naugahyde on the front panel After all it is indestructible.

Frog surrounded by calm, blue water and indestructible Naugahyde...

[sydtheframer]

thats worth considering ... I had thought of spray painting ... Even chrome tape which is used on cars ...
