Hello from Las Vegas

[Namgorf]

Hello, I have just purchased my First Pachinko machine and wanted to introduce myself. My name is Dan and I live in Las Vegas. I am originally from San Diego and always loved Pinball. My house I have now doesnt quite have the room for a full size pinball machine, so instead I have found out more about the modern Pachinko machines. My Uncle had a old vintage one, but I never played it since he didnt have any balls to use, and I wasnt really allowed to touch it, I always wanted to though. Now many years later I found a Pachinko machine that fills both my passions. Pinball and Star Wars, I had the opportunity to pick up a Star Wars Fever machine 2005 for a killer deal. It will be displayed and Played for years to come, and I plan on creating the stand to actually look like R2 like this one shown here.

I dont have a key to the machine so I am hoping I can find one or find a new replacement lock for the machine. If anyone knows where to get one please let me know. thanks and Im excited to be a part of this unique community.

Hi Dan


Welcome to PachiTalk!!

One of our members had the R2D2 cabinet a few years ago and there was also a feature in a magazine about it

I may have an extra key laying around. If so, you are welcome to it. I believe the keys are universal with only a few exceptions. I will check this weekend to see if i still have a spare.

I can actually do you one better. I was going through my parts and found not only a key but the lock cylinder as well. I knew I had ordered a couple of these awhile back. This way if the key does not work you can simply swap out the cylinder and it definitely work. I will be happy to send these to you. Just PM me the address. By the way no charge for any of it, just simply ask that you post lots of pictures of your project along the way. Really looking forward to seeing what you come up with.
