    Default Hello from South Dakota

    Hi All,

    Joining to hopefully get some more information out of the machines I currently own (and may plan in the future). My father has had a couple he's fixed up in the past and I just added a new Sankyo to the collection. Guessing late 80s/early 90s? Anyways, planning on a project to have a full pachinko wall in the basement soon.

    Below are the transplants from my fathers that are all in working order, a Daido, Sankyo, and Heiwa (Guessing 70s for all three?):


    And this is my most recent pickup - a Sankyo Mermaid themed one with a 4-way slot in the middle. Thinking this one is late 80's or maybe early 90's? Have tried "cheating" the system to see what happens when it hits but no luck yet in the 3 hours I've tried thus far. The tulip on the left has some kind of servo to it that I'm not sure if it's working correctly or only opens when it hits the jackpot. Also not sure if the lights with the top bar also light up with jackpot or not, but currently not in sync with the right side bar.


    Either way, excited to get the pachinko wall project going and to do some deeper research on what I've got. Thanks!

    Welcome to the forum, looks like you've got yourself a nice little collection there.

    Here's a link to an article on how to determine the age of a machine based on the tags or stickers.
