New and surprised

[Missing Moose]

Had no idea there are so many pachinko fans.

First of all ... glad to be here.

I dropped enough yen into Pachinko machines in Japan during '68 and '69 to own one but never did until now.

Just registered with the hopes somebody might eventually discover my thread and help me.

A friend of mine who works at the local dump rescued a machine a while back but has no interest in or use for it. He tells me it was dropped off by a WWII vet who was in the occupation troops in '45 (slightly before I was born). He claimed to have ripped this one out of the wall during a bar brawl and carried it home. Since I'm doubting Japan used precious resourses to build pachinko machines during the war (which began for them in the '30's, I'd guess the thing dates to mid thirties or earlier.

It is in very good condition both front and back though I have no idea what kind injuries the jungle behind suffered during its "aquisition".

Interested in anything I can find out.

Thats what you get for using an I-pad but I have a flip phone and dont have that problem so of course I had to get a new model that doesnt work as well as the old one in that I have to sort of charge the damned thing every day even if Im not making or receiving calls which are usually someone telling my car waranty need to be upgraded like my phone was and that supposed to be what they call an upgrade but my wife thinks shell get me into one of those bigger flatish things she is kind of permanently attached to even though I find mine much less bothersome especially when I dont recharge it for a week or so but on the other hand I had to get her to take the pictures of the pachinkjo machine that are here on an earlier post even if I suppose there is a way I could have used mine but that would just open another box I dont need to know anything about because
