Greetings from Charlotte, NC
Happy belated Christmas and almost new year everyone!
As we were cleaning out the attic to put the Christmas decorations away we pulled out this 1977 Kyoraku "Birds Nest" in the original box that we acquired from my father-in-law. In 2017 I reached out to William (Bill) at pachinkorestorations.com who was a great resource of information on the unit, about restoring it. I hope he's well and still in business. May be some of you can tell me? May be he's active here? He quoted me his prices but we decided against restoring it at that time.
Anyway, it's been sitting around the house for some time now and we're contemplating its fate. Does this unit have any value? I've looked at sales of similar units circa 1977 and the values run around $270 to $280. What value would any of you place on this unit in it's current condition?
Is it worth restoring or will we ruin the patina? I know some items - usually old cars - can oddly be worth LESS if you restore them in any way.
Thanks for your time and I look forward to getting to know the Pachinko community.
-Ron
