What are vintage pre-90s auto launcher knob-controlled Pachinko models called

Kinda a tough era to find working machines. If you're looking for modern pachinko machines without the large TV screen taking up most of the center, paging @lotsoballs

Haha… I think he’s referring to hanemono type; aka type 1, aka wing type, aka feather type. The #1 gameplay type of the 1980’s. They still make a few hanemono models every now and then.

As in all mechanical center feature; no LED, LCD, CRT screens or spinning reels like a digipachi (like 95% of new machines) no matching spinning digits required to score (scoring 777 ect) ; just skilled aim/timing.

If I’m searching yahoo auctions I just go through each and every pachinko… You can’t rely on sellers to categorize them correctly for you; they may not have any idea whether it’s a type 1, type 2, or type 3 machine and just trying to sell an old machine not provide a detailed description of the gameplay type. Some do… but most do not.

Example: “Animal land”




Newer example “Sky Racer”
