Newbie. Headed to Tokyo
First post here, so please be kind.
Just bought my first Pachinko on Craig's List. I believe it's a Nishijin A Aoi Umi. They wanted $150, but it seemed to not work, so I paid $100. After tinkering and taking apart a few parts, I found about 200 balls clogged up in the back, and now it's working like a charm.OK, the electrical still needs work, but that's secondary. I'm sure I'll be back here to ask lots of questions as I try to get it cleaner, etc.
In the meantime....
I'm heading to Tokyo later this week with my son, and with my new-found love of Pachinko, was wondering if anyone knows of places to see/buy older Pachinko machines in Tokyo?. Maybe antique stores? I don't think I want to get any of the newer/modern machines, as they seem less interesting to play (anyone want to convince me otherwise?) or too much like a slot machine. Any other recommendations of Pachinko-related things to see in Tokyo. I will be with my 13 year-old son, so might be limited against entering working pachinko parlors.
