    Default Help identify modern "Dragon" pachinko

    Hello there, can anyone tell me more about this "Dragon (??)" themed early modern pachinko? It looks to me like hanemono wing type...correct? It's for sale close to me, and happened strike my curiosity! What would the approximate value of this be if working perfectly? $75-$100? They are asking $175, seems too pricey to me....BUT it does have a decent cabinet/stand already: https://charlotte.craigslist.org/tag/4793585005.html

    Cool! Thanks for the youtube link...interesting machine, and soundtrack LOL. I like the hanemono type like this...maybe I can beat up the seller on the asking price a bit with talk of "it needs 1000+ balls to work properly."

    The seller replied and is willing to drop it down to $120. I'm going to check it out with a few hundred balls in the morning tomorrow! If it's in good shape I might just pick it up as a x-max gift for my 5 year old son who can't get enough pachinko....maybe he will let me play with it sometime!

    Well, I have a new addition to the pachinko family! The machine was in great shape, no issues with it at all other than there was a ball jam in the jackpot mechanism after driving home with the machine flat on it's back. A few minutes of tinkering and it's fine now. This machine is pretty cool, it's a super "Japanesey" theme with a rising sun, dragon, volcano, ninja, ghosts, Japanese fans, and lots of Japanese characters. Does anyone know what the translated name for this machine would be? (Is there a translated name?)
