Yard Sale Find

[jwegger]

So it's been a while since I bough a mew to me pachinko machine but I was out looking at yard sales this morning and I saw this lonely machine sitting in the front yard where the previous owners decided to sell it.

I get out to look and see that it's complete, has some rust on the chrome, dust in the works, rusty balls etc...

It's a Sanyo so the playfield is nice shape.

Deciding to risk my six months of pachinkority token from Pachinko's Annoymous I ask the price.

Husband Say's I don't know, asks wife...
Wife says it's yours, how about $10, husband says no...
Turns to me with this look like I'm going to run for the hills when he tells me the price.

How about $5.00

I think about about it for about 3 seconds and hand him the $5.00

He had it picked up and ready to go to the car before I could say thanks, it'l have a good home.

It also came with a nice wooden box to catch the balls as well.

Just need to figure out how we can cut down work to make more time for pachinkos

Pcitures below.

While I'm not crazy about Vintage Sanyo's, (or Vintage Sankyo's for that matter), it's mighty hard to pass up a $5.00 machine of any kind. Looks functional...clean it up and let the balls fly.

Nice find.

Super find!!! I picked up a Sanyo with the same playfield a while back for $12.50 so you got me beat. My center feature looks like the king on a deck of cards. Have any idea what the heck the playfield is supposed to be? All I see is either creepy helmeted heads or creepy Dodgem cars. What's your interpretation of what it is?

Great deal..The playfield looks cool too!!

There is quite a bit of rust on the chrome but it should clean up ok.
The Center feature is topped with the Olympic Rings with a flame in in the center one
Two little red birds on the sides the two mini-spinners look the the eyes for some owl features I have but there is a tulip where the owls body usually goes
I've added a close up of one of the playfied characters and the center feature
