PACHINKO?THE REAL PRODUCTS Sammy Kawagoe Factory Guide

See the process for manufacturing pachinko and pachislot. I would love to be at the plant and get one for my collection right when it came off the line.

Just just find it odd, they put that part of their website in english

Oh if they only had a link to buy one fresh off the factory floor. Doubt I could afford a mint one though.

I think I read the estimated cost for a machine new is 3 to 6 grand!!!

Yes, that's right - about 350000 Yen each, new, to a parlour.
Might have gone up since I last heard the figure.

That was cool! Thanks for providing that link.
I have always been impressed when a company makes videos like this. It demonstrates the confidence in their manufacturing processes, and the pride in quality of their products. It makes me want to open my wallet and show my support.
So, which Sammy Pachinko should I buy next?

I love how they talk about how precise the nails are driven and checked for accuracy and if it fails inspection the board is trashed.

"Our nails are inspected for accuracy of placement and depth"...Only to be messed with by the nail bender at the parlor when it arrives...
