    Default Anyone have a junk Hotaru frame?

    Some friends broke the knob on my first Pachinko machine. It was a hotaru frame Pachinko Gamelists by Frame Style If anyone has one of these frames I would love to buy the shooter knob off of it.

    how is it broken? is it repairable? Posting some pictures of the damage may help us see if-how it can be fixed or what needs to be replaced

    The outside of the knob was broken in half. And that's what holds the shooter ring on. I have a guy willing to sell me a working model. But really if I did not have to pay $350 I would be much happier. This is sentimental for me.

    I might have one, as I know I've got some spare Heiwa Hotaru frame parts around here somewhere (I bought a frame with a few missing parts a couple of years ago just to get a second 'Pretty Band' cell). If you can post a photo of which parts you need, then I'll see what I can find.

    lupinmachine.jpgI hope that makes sense. Its the dome on top of the shooter knob. I would accept the whole shooter knob or just the dome. The ring still works but without the dome it does not stay down. I use this machine for demonstration at Japanese Conventions and people have wreaked havoc on the ring without the knob. So I retired it. Even if its my favorite machine.

    Is this a possibility?

    I should have this part, but I'm not sure of it's condition. I've got a few boxes of junk and random arcade stuff that will need to checked through to find it, so I'll need a day or two to get to it and check to see if it's OK.
