WTB Pachinko Machine - in working order

[bellyup]

I'd prefer vintage, but I am open to modern

My 6 year old son was lucky enough to have inherited a perfect sankyo night & day machine from his grandfather. The problem ? While moving, it fell out of a truck and was smashed to pcs. He's heartbroken and I promised him mommy would talk to Santa and see what he could do.
The problem is that eBay wants $200-400 for these machines in working condition. Santa's not wealthy. LOL

I was hoping maybe someone here has a Pachinko machine in full working order that might have some cosmetic issues or other issues that prevent it from being sold as "mint" but would make my son's Christmas morning. It doesn't have to be the same machine (anything similar) and if I can't find vintage I'll have to buy modern if that's more reasonably priced.

We are in Ohio.
Thanks for any help or direction anyone can provide.

hey there.

I have a couple that you could have for $40, probably 80-90 after shipping to ohio

most of them will need a little cleaning, but I can make it functional (except lights) before shipping.

oh, do you have balls? can throw in a couple hundred for $10

and these are the backs of the machines

and, this would be a great fixit for a year old to learn about some mechanical stuff and some DC basic wiring, too

mud fud I am interested (perhaps in one of the last two shown as they appear to be the cleanest?) The thing is my son would really want the lights working. How hard would it be to get that going as well ? ? and is the cleaning needed something a housewife could attempt or something that would need to be professional ?

I'll send you a PM (private message). I'll look at what it would take to get the electrical going, maybe just charge an extra $10 and leave the cleaning to you

[mudfud]

one other thing is to watch your local craigslist. pachinko's do show up there, but may not be in working condition.
