    Default Idol pachinko machine

    I have a 1977 Idol pachinko machine. Has anyone ever heard of this model? I can't seem to find anything about it online.

    If you see a "Basic Uploader" option when trying to upload, try clicking on that and uploading from there..Sometimes that can help.. If it's not there, forget I said anything!!

    Nice looking machine. Sorry, but I don't know of any "brand" Idol. Maybe a model of of a name brand...except that vintage machines "typically" don't have model names. There are a few exceptions, but not many. I enlarged your pic to see what is above the ash tray. I thought it was a word...but looks more like a symbol. I don't recognize the brand by the style of the backside.
    Your flipper spring is either disconnected or missing. That is why the flipper is down. I really like the chrome shooter tray door! It looks like it has some kind of engravings in the chrome. Pretty cool!
    And before I forget...Welcome to pachitalk!

    Thank you for the welcome. Everyone is do friendly here. I think it may be a Dai- ichi. I'll keep trying for more info. I was able to identify my other one pretty easy. 1971 Nisijin model 1200 (A). Trying to figure which one to keep.

    If you can't decide which to keep, play them both, and keep the one you find more fun to play. You might decide you want to keep them both!

    I'm still struggling too. Did you see the message from someone about instructions? There was a photo that showed the back uncovered that I can't find again. There's another photo that's not very helpful for repair. Post a pic of yours?
