The rules are simple.

You may guess the age of the pachinko only once. If you guess multiple times your first guess is what counts.

If two people guess the correct age, the first person to guess wins.

If no one guesses correctly than the closest guess wins.

You must be a member.

The contest is one week.

I will announce the winner publicly and private message the winner to request mailing address to ship the prize.


Up for observation is the “Bird Cage” have fun

The ability to post a guess means you joined to be a member...therefore can not be disqualified!
I would have guessed an earlier year...but already guessed. So, I will choose 1958.
Nice machine! How about some before pics? You do great work, and find all the old ones!

I think I should have researched the history of pachinko first before I made my guess

Aaaaaaaaand THE WIIIIINNNNNAA IS…………………………………………..



MrGneiss and the runner up is DruNken Clam


This machine is 98% brand new so I would call this machine a 2015. I did not make the flipper and the ball guide to launch the ball. I did make all the wood and cut and soldered all the mechanics on the back of the machine. I bought bird cages from Hobby Lobby and eBay. I made the rose spinners out of metal petals from Michaels. Drilling 300 holes for nails was a little tedious LOL. The metal plates for the ball insertion hole and at the top and bottom of the machine including the brass plate behind the flipper and thumb rest I had custom produced. The Kanji I had printed on each metal plate reads as follows:

• Bottom plate:

最高品質の内蔵
調和と平和と精神銀座
昭和製造日はのために留保されています
コンテストの目的

Built of the highest quality
and in the spirit Ginza with harmony and peace

• Top Plate:

平和と調和

HIGH QUALITY MACHINE
PEACE AND HARMONY

• Ball insert plate:

Thanks for playing
