2 coin operated pachinkos whats a fair price?

[Bouye]

Ok so i found these 2 machines 2 minutes away from my house. I have several similar machines that i have restored, but ive never bought or even seencoin pachinko 1.jpgcoin pachinko 2.jpg one of these in person. Most vintage machine go for $20 and up depending on rareity and condition. With that said i have no clue what i should offer for these 2. They appear to be in excelent condition. I do not have pics of the backs yet, but i will be looking at them later today. What do you guys and gals think would be a fair price? I know. They are worth what someone will pay for them. But if someone has a clue what other similar machines have sold for i would like to know. Thanks pachi-nation.

it seems the majority of these that come up are not working and parts are very hard to come by if at all. i'd make sure they're working properly and check them over fully-inside and out.

Thanks emma! Any ideas about things to look for?

If you can go look at them then the best way to evaluate is to play them and seek what works and what doesn't. They may work just fine but it seems these almost always have issues. I think Card Shark has one that works fine. Might wanna get in touch with him.

There are some good videos from members here. Search for them and watch them. It is the best way I can think of to learn about what to look for. If between the 2 you can make 1 work $100 for both? If they both work, maybe $150. Don't know if that is a FAIR price...that is just me.

The way they work is: coin goes in and the machine's solenoids should reward three jackpots worth of reward balls.

The quantity rewarded is adjusted with a pin in the jackpot area.

Each jackpot earned after that counts as 10 points and an extra game is rewarded (I think) for 100 points. The points are displayed in the upper right corner.

Usually the tilt mechanism is removed; so don't worry if that appears missing; it is the same tilt mechanism as a pinball machine.

Around Chicago; I sold two for about $400 each to different buyers.

They are fun and good for kids: fully cyclic and sealed shooting trays. Kids never have to touch pachinko balls. The coin acceptor is simple to bypass and just use a momentary button to start a game. Custom cabinet / stand and light!
