Nishijin Monroe Pachinko on Shop Goodwill

Well here you go for those in the Indianapolis area. A Nishijin Monroe pachinko for a cheap price and it looks like it fully works. Only issue is pickup only (and the chrome looks a little rough).

I love that era of Hanemono. It has the best of both worlds. Classic Pachinko play and the excitement of fever modes. It must be a relatively tough machine because it is an All 15 and a lot of the early "C" moderns were either All 13 or All 11.

I had my Hit Parade set to All 15 for a time to play nice with my Gaku Counter but it made the machine just way too loose. Spent more time refilling the machine than playing. I did what you did with your kids hanemono and set the counter to 10 and simply use math to calculate balls won.

The chrome is in pretty poor shape. It makes me appreciate the condition that I found my Hit Parade that much more.

Overall, though it's a nice pickup for someone, those machines are a blast.
