    Default 1950's Pachinko Machine I bought at a Thrift Shop

    Hello All, I am new to this forum, and a new pachinko owner.
    I bought this pachinko machine from a local thrift shop this weekend for $65. The machine appears to be in excellent condition. Works flawless, only missing the ball catch. Would anyone have any information about this model? As far as I could find out it is a 1950 Comic - VP0262. It looks very close to the one in on this website.

    Thank you for any information you can provide.

    First off to Pachitalk!

    Second, nice machine you found there and at a pretty good price. It is an early 50's single shot. I'm not sure of the maker as I have never seen that Saturn sticker before. I would say Heiwa because of the Comic center, but brands shared parts. Also I have seen that same center on a variety of machines. It certainly is an interesting machine.

    If you have any other questions feel free to ask. And once again welcome to PT.

    I'd say you have a Heiwa Comic Gate mid 1950s. Mine is 1957. I think yours is earlier. I have never seen one from the year 1950 that had plastic. Around 1952 I start to see plastic in a few limited spots.

    Your machine super quadruple awesome!!!!! aaaaand what a nice price
