    Default What exactly is this?

    IMG_3560.jpgIMG_3559.jpg

    Hey, I recently acquired this Pachinko machine from my grandparents basement. When I was young I used to play with it and in order to keep doing so I would like to restore it. What I do know is that its a Sophia but that is as far as my research has gotten me. Thanks for the help!

    to the Site that Never closes ( someone is always here , sometime lurking in the shadows not knowing that if they just be friendly a post to the members say maybe 20 times a Whole bunch of this site including our Research Area will be open to them ) It's all in the New Members welcome from the Moderators and the Moderators are our Friends .


    Very Well kept Single shot and it's not a Sophia thats more down the line mid/late 1970's get some New Pachinko Balls from Ebay and maybe the 9vdc kit maybe a caught bucket or two and you'll be in like Flynn.
    When things don't go right the 1st time , Step back ,Take a break and come back renewed. RGS

    thanks yeah i will post more pics. any idea on how old it is? my grandfather picked it up when he was in the Navy and stopped in Japan in the early 70's i think. My goal is to get the lights working in the back and to make it look the best i can.
