1990 Sankyo UFO (Fever) Pachinko Machine
Followed up on some craigslist ads this week. These machines looked pretty rough and needed some help so I took a gamble and bought one for $40.
As you can see, the dirt and grime was caked onto the machine, and it needed some serious TLC.
This machine surprised me, and while it needed some mechanical help, all of the electronics are fully functioning. I did have to dig into the handle (automatic shooter) to repair some electric in the shooter knob. Really hard for me to believe it all works after the pick I went through to get it. I’m thinking about saving the other three that were available.

Couldn’t be happier with my seventh Pachinko machine and my first early modern style machine!
Both Nishijin machines still available do not have plugs for operation...how difficult would it be to get them to run on household current?? (I have a good soldering iron.)
Hope you guys enjoy the post (even though it isn’t as vintage.) I must admit though, I didn’t think I’d dig this machine as much as I do now!
Also, does anyone know someone or somewhere I can get Pachinko balls from cheap?? I need about another 1-2 thousand of them!
