Questions about my first Pachinko
Today I found a Pachinko at a thrift store! I know nothing about them, but I bought it and I hope to get it cleaned up and working. As a complete beginner, I have a lot of questions that I hope you guys can help me with, since I've never owned or played one. Pics are attached, but if any additional or closer up ones are needed to answer any questions, I'm happy to provide them.
- What can you tell me about this machine? I looked at this doc, and mine looks most like the 1964 image. This isn't too important, but I'd like to learn more about it!
- Is there anything I should know about cleaning it (looks like it was stored in a garage or shed of some sort), apart from what's in the cleaning tips thread? Will I need a key for the front in order to properly clean it or get it working?
- Are there any parts that seem to be broken or missing, and if so where can I find replacements?
- How many balls do I need, and where should I buy them? There seems to be three balls in there already, stuck somewhere in the middle (shown in second pic), but I assume that's not enough.
- As far as I know, electricity is not required for anything but the lights, but if I wanted to get the lights working, how would I do that?
- Anything else I should know/ask/research/buy/take pictures of?
