Maruhon Pachinko Machine - $75 Tigard, OR

[owennewton]

this was first listed as Pachinko Machine (I thought Jeff had posted it but I could not find it) I emailed them and let them know it was not what I was looking for at that price so they posted a new add Maruhon Pachinko Machine without taking the old one down and jacked the price up. I guess me saying it was too much was a warning to pump it up to cash in on everyone fighting over it

Well I contacted him again and offered $40 cash and he jumped at it so I give you the machine I call "The mother in-law"100_2060.jpg100_2061.jpg100_2062.jpg100_2059.jpg

I have see that brand once before.. but the locations and all the liinkage to make the jackpot work so far off center sure looks funny..

wonder what the thought is in having it way off to the left like that???

neat machine Hank... Great Colors

I replaced the cardboard with plexiglass and made a track cover (I had a broken front glass in hand) and it plays great. the back is held on with 4 thumb screws and 5 nuts hold the cell on so it was real easy to stripp for cleaning. The guy said his dad bought it in 83 and was never able to get it to work right. He also said they only had 100 or so balls and never filled the reward hopper so when it would jam up dad would start removing screws and prying on things to get the balls out, the reason for the back cover being broken and the cardboard. The cell was very clean and the plastics still have all the original paint so I am definitely happy with being patient and harping on the guy

Wow that was a great price for that machine. Everything on the front looks to be in fantastic shape (though pictures usually always make things look nicer). I love the old lady center feature that is definitely one I haven't seen before. The back is kinda odd how they set that up but I'm sure it is no problem for you to figure it out. Great buy.
