    Default Greetings from Dallas, TX

    Hello members,

    I have had this 1975 Maruhon pachinko machine for over 5 years in the garage. I've been meaning to get started on restoring it but don't know where to start. I stumbled on this site recently and wanted to see if I can find some information.

    It needs a serious cleaning. Looks like someone wired an AC power plug to it but it doesn't work. All the gaskets holding the lights in place are missing, only a handful of balls, and the key to the glass is missing. Anyone have any resources on the Maruhon machine inner workings?

    Welcome aboard.

    Neat machine. Have a look at the Nishijin model B video in the vintage section. Very much the same.

    Welcome! They are never shipped with keys. You have full access to back so not needed anyway.
