007 pachinko...finding a frame

[Jcpautz]

I recently purchased a 007 pachinko from a reliable vendor that I have purchased from before. When I received the machine the fame was in rougher condition than I was expecting. Needless to say I'm a bit disappointed. The cell is in great condition though, so I was wondering if anyone knows how hard it is to find a replacement lumina frame and the cost? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

At least the Sankyo 'Lumina' was used on a lot of the popular pachinko models, I would imagine most collectors have at least one in that frame

so if you can't just buy up a frame, you could perhaps pick up a cheap title in same frame and then you'd have 2 games that fit it

Here's a link to member Daverob's Game list for that frame:

As above, but this list is better

Empty frames of this age are much harder to come by these days. Good luck. I'm sure your find one sooner or later. Either a complete machine or frame.

Just an update. I found a Julie pinball machine in great shape for $50! Now I just need to figure out how to swap cells. I do have to say though the Julie pinball is cool pretty cool so I might use that more than the 007. Thanks again for the replies!

Score

Cel swapping takes about 10 minutes the first time. But once you done it once. You can do it in a couple of minutes. Just make sure the frame is secure first. There is info on how to do it in the lumina frame manual. I think there is a video on YouTube as well.

Where in the world did you find that in Wisconsin? And for $50, score!!

You could probably sell the cel if you don't want it

A friend picked it up for me at an auction. Was definitely a lucky find!
