Looking for my first machine

[Bowl987]

I gotta start somewhere. Anyone have any thoughts on this one for a beginner?

im a bit confused.. are you looking for this macine or are you looking to buy this machine..

if your looking for this machine that may be a hard search.. of you rlooking to buy it then i say go for it.. it is jamed and need to be cleaned up and cleared out.. may we ask what the asking price is? does it come with more balls than the ones jamed inside it??

other than the jamed balls it looks to be compleat.. not to dirty.. unusual center feature.. and really unusual feet

please let us know

and of course

Its on an estate sale site for auction. What would be a fair price for it?

Colorful background, good chrome, interesting front trays, complete on the back, no water damage.....I would go for it if it was say $150 or less.

Depending on price that looks like a great starter machine. Clean, complete, and in great condition for its age. Matsuya Sangyo New Monako machine from the mid-70's. You could do a lot worse. Welcome to Pachitalk

be careful in shipping.. the shipping could cost you more than the pachinko..

you going to need balls for it as well. 250 just to see if it works right.. 500 balls to play the machine for a bit, 1000 balls to fill it

i would say 100.00 max.. their are lots of Pachinko out there

Thank you all for the info. I would be able to pick this machine up without delivery so that's the main reason for my interest.

It does have a very nice King and Queen Spinning Center Piece and would make a good start in any collection .

Congratulations Bowl987, I see you had the winning bid on the auction, looks like you got a really good deal on it too. I wish I could find a deal like that around here, all the machines I've seen on CraigsList so far are beat and overpriced.

[Bowl987]

Thanks, I got lucky. About $34 and a 30 min drive to pickup. Estate sales are a good place for bargains. Some ship and some are pickup only. I used this website: https://www.estatesales.net Happy hunting.

Thanks for the link, saw a few estate sales with pachinko machines, but all were out of state, but I'm going to keep looking.

Here is it all cleaned up and working great. Now I need more!
