On a side note... could this be moved to the pachinko forums? Sorry about the double post...

Welcome to PachiTalk BennyP!!

If you could post pics of your Pachinko it would help the members to offer you the correct information

A Good close-up of the front (cell) and a pic of the rear workings would be good

If you are unsure how to post pics, this link will help

Here are some photos so you can see what I have. Tell me what you think and what you know. (most machines I have seen all have some kind of ball return on the front, this one does not, why?)

WOW!!

That is an early to mid 1950's single shot machine - hard to find! Plus it appears to be in excellent condition!!! Please post more photos, particularly close up shots of any labels and the back of the machine.

I collect machines of that vintage, so if you ever want to sell it, send me a Private Message.

I'm glad I have an eye for the vintage! Can you tell me about it and why it is more plain than other machines? And what can I expect after this game is completely cleaned as a true value?

Value is something that is Very hard to judge.. i have see people pay over a thousand dollers for a machine.. and i have seen people pass on machines for 10 or 15 dollers??

i would say for myself.. that a machine of that vintage in nice restored shape could sell for 75 to 150 dollers but like i said some times people get totaly carried away with there bids.. others would say more and other have no interest in vintage machines

Nice looking vintage ya have there.. finding a nice early machine is hard to do

[Lt Teddy]

I hope you know the right way to clean it up or it will have no value>>>>

[BennyP]

I have been speaking with some game and antique restorers and they have recommended the right products and procedures to use to recondition this unit. I plan to take my time and do it right. A machine in this good of condition wont take too much though!

This machine would probably have SUBSTANTIAL value in Japan. They are collecting more and more of their vintage pachinkos especially those in excellent condition.

But it would do well here too cleaned up.

congrats!

A truly great find. Good luck cleaning up the back of it.
