    Is there room for any Vintage Pachinko machines?
    Unless you try to be more than you are, what you are is all you will ever be.

    well what i was hoping for was more of the machine part of the ball handling. How are you lifting the lost balls to the top hopper?? the parts behind the machine?

    We do have ONE 1972 machine there just for nostalgia sake, it works perfectly well. It's not in line with the other games though. It's just there to show what the classic machines looked like.

    We are doing it the old school way. There's a large hopper over the original top hopper and when someone hits a Big Bonus we must refill the hoppers manually. We have a magnet sweeper that picks balls off the floor and each machine has its own 3 gallon bucket located beneath the machine in the back to contain all "lost" balls. Those balls are recycled into the hoppers. Just like they use to do before the automatic ball lifters came into play. Having 40 machines and having to spend an additional $500 each for an automatic ball lift wasn't feasible.

    Do you import your Pachinko machines yourself? You have a nice selection!

    Here's a few pics from my recent weekend getaway to entice others to make the trip! I should have taken more pictures in the parlor but was too distracted by all the shiny, flashing new pachinko machines! Some highlights of the games I played would be the Spiderman Black, Superman, The Omen, and somewhat surprisingly (for being an older machine) "Jaws" was probably the most fun and had the best reaches IMHO, such a tease though....I kept getting reaches on it but alas, no fevers were in the cards for us this time I probably should have stuck to JAWS where I was having better luck but was too temping to jump around to other machines! The owners gave my son a "Minions" watch despite our night of losses, thanks! We also visited the USS North Carolina battleship nearby, lots of fascinating WWII history to soak in....just don't fall overboard into the gator infested waters!

    I'll be making a trip to Florida to see my parents in January.
    I predict that I'll make a wrong turn... get lost... and end up in Wilmington... before I find my way to FL.

    I'll probably never get to go to Japan... so I'm excited that you have opened a parlor I can visit.
    Thank You and Good Luck

    Can't wait to check it out! I'm coming tomorrow afternoon (6/17) for my second trip; hopefully either my son or I will get a fever this time I also hope your kenrimono that was out of service last time is working! I was the guy from Charlotte who stopped by back in September last year with my 6 year old son who also loves pachinko! How about getting some a nice Hanemono machine or 10 to round out the variety of machine types? Just a friendly suggestion from a satisfied repeat client!
