Whats this a mechanical fan buying an electric?

So long time no post. But I recently found myself longing for another Pachi, and through some Craiglist browsing I found a guy selling a "broken pachinko machine" for $20. The bad images he posted looked like an 80s Arapachi. Two weeks without a response to my email, he finally messaged me yesterday midday and we setup to meet after work and a nearby Kroger. He sent me some more bad images but I realized that it was not an Arapachi, but a Sankyo and it was Arabian Nights themed. So we met up, the 600 pachi balls ended up being more like 100, but ohwell. Got it home, plugged it in, it all light up and re set itself, but there were not enough balls for the relief hopper so I just manually pushed down the pressure plate and it started to work. An hour of cleaning later and we have this:

It is the best of both worlds, a Pachinko and a Slot Machine... It needs a frame but so far I am in it about $23. That makes a house of two mechanicals (Nishijin Model A and Model B), and a big blue that plays music, alot. But now back to my hunt for more "broken" sub $50 pachis. Cheers

Looks nice! Congrats on the purchase.
While finding a bare frame might be a challenge, you might find a busted sankyo that you could do a cell swap with.
Good luck, and don't be a stranger.
