    Default Parts help needed for 50's machine

    Now that I have my first pachinko machine working i have taken on more projects. When i got the first machine i actually purchased two and i worked on the newest first which was the 1969 single shot. Now i am moving to the older one. It is from the 50's. Someone had at some point added a picture hanger wire and hung it on the wall. Well that was probably not to smart since it fell. The glass was broken (now fixed) and there are two parts i need help with. The first one is a chrome win pocket, it is gone. The second i need advice on. Its the play tray at the bottom. It is metal but it broke. I am not finding any spare parts for this older machine and should I try to find a fabricator to try to fix it? You will see the duck type that they added. Other that this is does play well.

    You might try soldering it, then polishing it well to hide the repair.

    Similar pockets are sold online. It's difficult to see the pocket due to the size of the picture.

    If you were really intent on restoring the machine, you could conceivably cast a new pocket out of resin and attempt to paint it to look like chrome...

    Where there is tape there is no metal. I am guess it got thrown away when it broke.

    What about casting new tray using your broken one to make the mold? I don't know much about the process, or how to make up for the missing piece. Some members do casting. Maybe they can explain the pros and cons of doing this...or if it is even practical. Another possibility is 3D printing. Once again...I don't know much about it. From the things I heard and seen...it seems like a good option.
    Parts machine would best...but hard to find. Not to mention, you would probably try to salvage it as well.

    Can you post better pictures of the tray. I'm having a hard time seeing just how bad it is.

    Also you appear to be missing the finger post as well.

    100 machines and counting...

    If it were mine, I would try to fill the hole with sheet copper, like 20g, and see if I could neatly hammer form out the edge. If you can drill into the pot metal, then you can rivet the repair on, and it would be usable. It may even look nice.

    As well, this machine has a metal tray, but probably not a match.

    I could use some parts in that machine, i wonder how much lower they would go? Tray is probably right size but it all depends on where the holes are if it would fit.

    It has been listed for months. It is close to me and I know another person could use the diamonds. I could always ask.

    I called and offered $25 (he has it listed for $50) and he thinks he should get $50 because it works, but I tried to explain the rust transfer... so he has to think about it... if I can get it for $25, then I know someone wanted the diamonds.... Spear?
    I will let you know, and if you think you still want it, let me know otherwise I have to not do this.

    I will keep you posted. I sent a pm to the person who wanted the diamond so maybe he would throw in a buck or so for those. I will see what else I can part out, but that poor thing is so rusty... shame.

    Understood. I expected anyone with a parts machine with those cups would want to keep them anyhow. If this does work out, I do need one.

    i was looking for pockets for a (relatively) newer Sanyko machine, plastic ones. I'm hoping to 3D model some, but I haven't gotten to that project yet.

    I got the machine! An hour drive and tolls, but it is in the house now... broken glass and all I had to pay a little more for it but hopefully I will break even by the time I finish mailing.

    The tray is in great shape and the piece Spyder wants looks to be nice as well. The tulips are ok, intact but the chrome is starting to chip a tiny bit.

    i will take the pieces apart, take pictures and get approval before sending.

    Pachiwall, I am not sure what you meant by cups?

    In the back, the only possible piece I see worth saving is the feeder up top. It is intact and mostly rusty, but still decent.
    A few quick pictures...
