    Default whats missing ? this vintage nice cell, but missing things

    Hey

    Just got another pachinko today, its a nice cell, tiger looks really neat, the shooter mech is in good condition, but the back is missing some covers, that I can tell, plus the wires are cut, will have to do some rewiring, Can you tell what all is missing from these pics ?? Spent too much !! but it has great potential ...

    missing plexi glass, seller says he will send it to me...

    Thanks !!!

    Great center feature. It doesn't look like anything critical is missing from a quick glance. The covers frequently have been removed but they just keep the dust off for the most part. Once it's cleaned up try and play it-that's the best way to discover problems.

    the metal bar.. the one that is the size of a paper clip??

    that is an over flow stop.. once the top tray fills the machine will dump winning balls to the bottom tray.. if the bottom tray then fills up to much that rod will be push over to the ball loader and stop the machine from loading balls into the shooter..

    yours is broken / disconected in your pic.. should be in a straight line to the shooter mech

    neat machine kinda demonic

    I also notice that the ball guide is missing from the track over the center jackpot payout mechanism. Easy to fix, though.

    Nice machine!!

    yup, the things I notice were the lower ball tray cover, the jackpot cover, and the payout seesaw cover .

    So aside from the lower ball tray cover, the other covers are not really necessary except for asthetics and cleanliness? ? that'd be good !!

    Since the cell looks like it has very little water damage, I may want to get a "parts" machine and replace those covers. Any one have any idea who may want to get rid of some covers ? or a parts machine they don't want, shipping would be expensive on the machine, so kinda leaning for just the parts to purchase ??

    This is so much fun !! I am having a blast, this is the first machine missing so many covers, but it gives me a chance to look "inside" and do a good cleaning . I was afraid to remove any covers from my other machines, didn't want to fix what wasn't broke ya know

    As many of you said, I started with one machine and now they have multiplied like rabbits !!

    Love this site, and the people who are here !!!

    There is a piece of plastic broken off. It supports that rod. You could easily make a repair part from a bit of wire.
