[Pachinko Botan]

Just wondering if it's worth a bid don't wanna buy it and it's gonna cost a lot of cash to sort out

In the UK, forget it, parts are non existent.
If it's not complete, or you can make it yourself, walk away.

Unfortunately Pachinko is not a cheap hobby here in the UK, so whilst our US friends can snap the vintages up 10 a penny, over here it's rare to find one and when you do they tend to want big money for them.

In my opinion I wouldn't pay £200 for it, but I have paid over £100 for my vintages which were in great condition (Nishijin A , Sanyo Comet II, Fuji Arrangeball)

You also have to bear in mind that there are no spares or parts here for them, so anything missing would have to be fabricated or sourced from US or wherever.

Mite give this a miss just tho it be nice to have a vintage in my collection I think I'll just stick to my modern machines

Thanks for everyone feed back on this been very helpful to me

Please don't be deterred though, they are interesting to have in your collection

It's always worth keeping an eye out on ebay UK and you may get lucky and find a reasonable priced one in good condition

Vintages are mostly mechanical so if you can go test one before buying or see a video of one in action, you'll at least know it's functioning okay or if it's something simple to fix like adjusting etc, you only need to ask the members here and they should be able to tell you whats what with them

[Pachinko Botan]

Don't fancy spending £200 or less if you can knock them down on the one been posted and find out need to spend say £100 on parts


If a decent one pops up and it works mite have a punt on it

Hmmm looks to be the same cell front and the nails line up with the cell print and everything, but there's different coloured plastics, heavily tarnished metal on one back, and the back stamp isn't showing on one



here's the side by sides for comparison

But not you got them side to side I see there different
