Something different

How about this for a bit of a UK slant on Pachinko? Looks quite interesting and still a nice price....

That's really nice looking. I wouldn't mind having that one myself. I am curious in it's operation, how does it register the points win when you land in a particular pocket?

[Mike]

Good question. It wouldn't entirely surprise me if it didn't register your score, you just have to add it up yourself! I'll try and find out a bit more about how it works and get back.

I found it for sell elsewhere:

And this site has a lot of info on the history of all machines, very interesting:

You can see the mechanism that keeps the balls from falling through the holes in this pic.(see inside the bottum left 3 holes) So you play, add up your score and then I'm sure one of the levers releases the balls for the next game.

Thanks Stuey, that sounds like that's it.
