My Second Lucky Find
Well. It has begun. I wasn't even looking for another machine, but one found me instead.
I was inspired by Peteybob's cool vending machine find:
Candy Dispenser turned Ball Dispenser
So I was browsing the vending machine listings on my local classifieds and stumbled across this pachinko machine for $50. I hesitated at first, but I just couldn't resist. It was a bit of a drive to pick it up, but I think it was worth it. Any info on the machine would be most welcome. I'm sure someone on here can interpret the sticker to find out what year it is. It appears to be newer than my first machine. It's in about the same shape as my Heiwa was, having been in storage a while it is a bit dusty. The mechanism seems to be another 'Type 2' or 'Model B' like my Heiwa or other Nishijin machines. It is missing one of the access covers on the back, and there is a ball jammed in the opening where the balls are fed to the launcher. The frame might be a little tweaked, but I may be able to stabilize/reinforce it somehow. Someone also placed two American flag decals in the upper left and lower right corners of the Plexiglas. Other than that, cell looks good, main feature looks intact. Overall I think it's cool
I didn't think I would be collecting them so soon, but here we are, with my machines multiplying at an alarming rate...
