WTB Kinnikuman Pachinko Machine 2009

[phillymadison]

Hi guys I'm looking to buy a 2009 Kinnikuman pachinko machine. I think they made 2 versions a regular version and a max version. Either would be great but if I had to choose I would pick the regular one. I also know they have a 2012 tag team Kinnikuman one too. If I couldn't find either of the other 2 this would also be an option.
Thanks

Hello and welcome to the group!
Sorry I can't help with the machine request, just wanted to say hi.

[phillymadison]

Hi and thank you. If I can find this it'll be my first modern pachinko machine so ill probably have some more questions when the time comes...hopefully lol

Pictures and questions are always encouraged here.

You could check with Frank and company at akimono.com or try sending him a PM here on PachiTalk (member jackdanielsx). He might have something not yet listed on his website. He was taking orders of machines coming out of Japan. I don't know if he is still taking orders or if this round is finished now.

Thanks for the info. I actually sent him a message through his website and eBay a few days ago but I didn't hear back from them. I don't want to keep bugging him so maybe I'll send him a message in a few days.

Yes it can take a bit sometimes. I saw the 2014 versions and the machine frame is like my ultraman taro. A very flashy light show!

To One of the Oldest Collector/Restorer Sites and good luck on the search .

Thank you thank you. If I give up on the 2009 one I'll get the 2012 instead. I've been checking yahoo Japan and eBay. Is there Japanese store that sells a lot of modern ones? I mean I know there is lol but is there one that's better than the rest and or has more etc.

Welcome Aboard

Of course, if your in a hurry and can't wait. You could just buy it in Japan and have it fedex to your door

[phillymadison]

I'm actually not against doing that. The only issue is that's the 2012 version and I'm looking for one of the 2009 versions. Which looks like this.

[phillymadison]

If I was to try and get this one would I use the buyee service that its advertising on the top? I've bought from yahoo jp before (years ago) and I know you have to go through a middle man so to speak to bid get and redeliver the items. Just wondering if buyee is the way to go with items this big?

[Drunkenclam]

Kasugai has some with different spec. Depending on playing field graphics and odds.

[phillymadison]

Ok now we're talking thank you! This is the one I want
http://www2.7-kasugai.co.jp/syousai....2230&TRID=4436
but there looks like there's a few different options would the 13800 yen one be the best option?
and to get it should I use buyee? Or can this site ship to the USA?
Again thank you very much!

[Drunkenclam]

Kasugai wouldn't even ship me a battle counter manual so its a deputy service needed
I have never used Buyee so can not comment on them. I use fromjapan for machine purchases as they have good rates with Fedex (As it is over 30KG it will have to go Fedex)

Their base price of 13,800 yen comes with 1000 balls and tray and every thing you need (execpt I don't see a door key listed)
I would ask if they don't connect a transformer. for one its the wrong voltage (only by 10V) and also if some thing will come off in transit and cause damage, it would be the transformer and they can trash the back of a machine inside the box.

[phillymadison]

Awesome! I just registered with fromjapan and started the process. I took your advice for the transformer to not be connected too. I'm guessing I'll have to get a new transformer since the one that's coming with it will be too low and I'm guessing the plug is for a Japanese wall outlet not a US one correct? Any recommendations of a place to get one?

[Drunkenclam]

The Japanese have the same mains plug as the US, But also, the 24Vac parlour system has the same plug on it too. Some members have forgotten that bit and blown theri new machine up.

As to where to get one. Not a clue. I'm in the UK so my suppliers are different. But I normally use RS componenets.


Unless you really can't wait. It might be worthwhile waiting till you hear back from Frank. As its easier to deal with somone in your own country, plus you get warranty with it too.

[phillymadison]

Alright I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. Maybe I'll make a separate post about it. I never knew Japan used the same as the US. But either way the transformer that comes with it wont work for me correct?
Again thank you very much for the help. It is very appreciated!

[Drunkenclam]

Some of our US members have used the Japanese 100v-24v transformers without a problem. But I wouldn't recommend it as the transformer would have a higher voltage output. Probably 26-27v
