Howdy from Canada! Plus need help identifying Nishijin Pachinko
TL;DR I'm getting a pachinko machine in a will, and would like to learn more about it. Pictures below.
Hi everyone! My name is Buck and I'm so happy to become a member of this site. Ever since I was a kid I loved Pinball machines and I always wanted one. When I got older I discovered Pachinko machines and I really wanted one of those too. Well some dreams do come true I guess. My boss at work died. It has been a very sad experience for me. He was a great man. He left me this Pachinko machine that he had. As far as everyone knows right now it's not working. Based on how dirty it is I'm assuming it's just jammed up inside. I'm somewhat mechanically inclined and consider myself a hobbyist mechanic. I've fixed many very rare paintball markers as well as cars and trucks. He left this machine to me in a will because he believed I would be able to fix it. I really can't tell a lot about it other than it's a "classic Modern" Nishijin cabinet. I don't own the machine yet because the will is currently being settled. I have some pictures of it and I'm really looking forward to getting it home and trying to fix it. Everyone on this website is so friendly and cool!
Oh also. Some local appraiser said this machine is worth 250 in the current condition and over 1,000 restored. That seems really "optimistic" based on my own limited knowledge. Can anyone give me a more sober appraisal?
I can take more pictures if you guys need me to. Thanks in advance!
