    Love the use of an old giant Christmas decorative light behind the center feature.

    Based on the coin mechanism...it is probably the guts of a gumball machine that dispenses balls.

    Wonder if it ever made enough money to cover the work put into it?

    looks like the player would put a token / coin in the machine turn the gumball handle and get a few balls out to start play.. the gumball machine collected the coin... no cash payout.. kinda like a computer pachinko..

    it looks like a gumball machine was strippod of its globe and housing. The mechanism mounted in the side, a Plexiglass box made as a ball hopper (empty ball hopper in the pic). The white elbow and tube directs the purchaced balls into the winning ball chute. The coins would go yo wherever they did for the gumball machine. Since that was probably the housing for the gumball machine, something was probably fabricated. It would be easy to mount a funnel where the coin falls and direct it through a tube into the stand below. No need for that kind od capacity for coins...but if it made them easier to access...then it could be worth it!

    Not sure why those are there. Short of using a relay...and having an AC side and a DC side of the circuit, it wouldn't be tied into the jackpot lights. No practical way to use it as a "paid for" ball indicator. I mean...what is there to indicate? If out of balls, put in quarter (assuming it was a quarter gumball machine for one big gumball), get 20ish pachinko balls(you know it is going to be some weird number of balls, whatever falls through a large gumball hole)...plus or minus one! Then play and win until you run out. Nothing for lights to indicate. People using Christmas lights to illuminate pachinko machines kind of seems common...to non collectors. Collectors like us (did I just "sugar coat" that...should I have said "hoarders, or nut cases" like us?) usually try to integrate the add on lighting to looke more like it was always there.
    That being said...the owner of this machine actually thought it out and came up with a reasonably practical and easy coin-op conversion! He was clearly thinking outside of the box! It is not as compelling as a computer pachinko...but any of can fix this one...where there are many stories of computer pachinkos never working again. That being said...I would still rather have a computer pachinko. This machine simply is a regular pachinko with a mechanical, coin-op ball dispenser for when you lose. Not to take away from the creativity and ingenuity of the design...not worth the asking price. I can see why he is asking...one of a kind custom, and your timr and intelectual ingenuity to make it. But...no. He sees people asking $300 for an ordinary machine (in bad shape) and naturally thinks "this is WAY BETTER!".
    It is a pretty neat conversion...but, I'll pass!
    I did really enjoy seeing it though!

    After getting a better look today I think the lighting was there to be on full time when desired. I didn't notice before the string of more lights down the rear left side. I see one empty socket on the other side. From the front it looks like clear textured plastic down the right side for the colored lights and the one in the center feature for some field color.

    Looks like the coin mech could be on the left side around the middle of the persons hand.
