    Default My Pachinko find...is it worth anything?

    I don't even know how to tell if it works! Any help would be appreciated. It needs to be cleaned, but nothing looks damaged.

    Welcome to pachitalk! Looks like a Sankyo machine. If you have as little as 20 pachinko balls, you can test it. Easier if you have about 50. Looks like it is missing the track cover just before the jackpot. You can rig something for free...or buy a reproduction one for about $25-30. Maybe someone has an original, from a parts machine...except it is so commonly missing that some members started reproducing them.
    The wiring for the low ball light and jackpot light has been removed. Common on Sankyo machines. Does not affect play, just no blinking lights with each jackpot, and no steady on light when the hopper in back is almost empty.
    Yuo will need a minimum of 500 pachinko balls. More like 2000 if you don't want to constantly be shuffling balls.
    Value??? Depends on how common they are in your neck of the wods. California is loaded with pachinko machines, therefore low value. Canada has few machines, so value is higher. eBay has made them avaliable anywhere...but shipping is expensive. I would value your machine at about $50...if it works, and is cleaned up. Of course if someone wants it bad...or 2 people get into a bidding war, could be your lucky day!

    to the Site that Never closes ( someone is always on here ) Your machine looks complete with only the electric prize light system in the back being Totally removed . What it is worth ? It depends on the condition of the machine and how complete it is . Yours $100 or more to the right collector . Lighting http://www.pachitalk.com/forums/vint...o-machine.html

    and this site cover your question http://pachinkoman.com/page39.php

    I'm with Pachiwall on price. Probably $50 if it's working, less if it doesn't.
