    Default Need help repairing a vintage Pachinko in the Raleigh, NC area

    My husband has a vintage (70's) Pachinko machine that has sentimental value to him. It was his father's originally and his father passed away when he was 10. It has been in a closet in our house for around 20 years. I hauled it out today. My original plan was to surprise him and get a cabinet for it for his Birthday. However, I have discovered that it doesn't work.

    I know nothing about these machines and I am not particularly mechanically inclined. Do any of you know of someone in the Raleigh/RTP area that repairs these? I don't even know enough to tell you what kind it is. It does say "Maruhon" in several places on it as well as "Nagoya", if that means anything to anyone.

    Any guidance you all could provide would be much appreciated. Thanks!

    Hi, I am also in the raleigh area (Apex). I dont have any experience with a Maruhon but I've got several machines I've brought back to life and one full restoration under my belt. Please post some pics when you have a chance. I've found getting a vintage machine working is usually a whole lot easier than getting one clean. lol.
