Just Picked Up My 2nd Vintage Pachinko
I'm pretty excited, I just purchased my 2nd vintage pachinko this morning, I feel fortunate based on what I've seen for sale in my area, paid $100. It's in full working condition, shoots, pays out, very minor surface corrosion on the door frame, but I think some 4/0 steel wool will clear it right up, a bit dusty, but it's to be expected, no water damage, one light bulb missing, but I plan to convert it to a 9v batter and LED bulbs. The only thing I've done was removed some duct tape residue that was on the clear plastic window above the ball shooter.
I know it's a Sankyo model B made sometime around 1974 (so says the mighty web) but I can't find one on the web to tell me the theme or model. Anybody know anything about this one?
My other is a Nishijin Model A, so I'm going to learn about it by taking it apart and cleaning it. First I need to build some temporary feet so it will stand on it's own until I can make a nicer frame for it. Wish me luck!
