    Smile Got a new/old machine,"Wanted" by Sankyo

    I got a new machine, new to me, I know it's an older machine but I was looking for a machine with reels and found this "Wanted" machine at CustomPachinko for sale. I've read that some members have this machine and they all seemed to like it.

    I've had it for about a week now and have built a case for it. I put an exterior volume control on the cabinet. The machine had a "start pocket mod." installed on it. Push the button and it pays you 4 balls and the reels start spinning, just as if you put a ball in the start pocket. It was hanging loose so I mounted it into the frame, below the bottom tray.

    After playing it for awhile now, It's pretty enjoyable to play. The theme of the machine was just what I was wanting. The lcd screen interacts with the reels and there is plenty of action to keep you playing.

    As I mentioned earlier, I purchased the machine from CustomPachinko, (Member jackdanielsx), and am very pleased with the machine and dealing with him.

    Here's some pictures.

    new pachi!!

    Congratulations on your 'Wanted' pachinko, it seems to be a well regarded model by our members


    Interesting 'start pocket mod' and your machines all look great in their special cabinets with matching 'artwork'

    I'm jealous, after all these years, I still only have one in a wall mount cabinet

    awsome, i collect these older/modern sankyo's with that orange face to them. I have a similar slot machine one thats probably a little older then yours because it has reels but no lcd screen. I look on craigslist frequently for these smpicific sankyo's

    Thanks,

    It started out in the yellow colored frame, as most "Wanted" machines.

    I had a orange colored frame from another machine, that had some issues, so I changed it and I think it looks better in the orange colored frame than the yellow one.

    I have a total of 3 right now. 2 orange Sankyo's and a looney tunes Bisty. Ive been searching for more of the orange sankyo's but haven't found another on craigslist in while. (I just got done with a fever on the one on the left, that's why the top of the frames light up.)

    I got some dairy crates and built a custom stand for them. I cut PVC pipe to size, so any ball that would fall to the back of the machine will now roll around and fall in the tray in the front. Now i never have to reach around the machine for balls when i'm in the middle of a fever. Each machine has its own PVC pathway to a tray, hopefully you can kind of get the idea from the picture bellow.

    The first machine, that you just won a fever on, that's the machine I have that had issues.

    After playing for awhile the reels won't spin. Shut the machine off and then back on they would work again, for awhile.


    I liked the Orange frame, so I put the "Wanted" cell in it.

    That machine is called "Seven Flash". I really liked it when it worked correctly.

    Here's a link to a manual for this type of Sankyo frame.
    PachiTalk Research Center - Machine Manuals - Sankyo General - PachiTalk

    Your ball system looks as if it would work well, no reaching around for balls. ​Thanks for sharing.

    Thank you for that manual im excited to have that and know the name of that machine I got the "Seven Flash" machine for $65 on craigslist. I bought it off a family, that bought it for their son for his birthday but he never really played it they told me.

    As far as your reels not working im not really sure. I would thing it would possibly be your motors causing friction as they warm and expand or the brushes wearing out, but it doesnt make sense to me that it would work properly again after a reset. I hope you can fix and enjoy this pachinko because its definitely one of my favorites due the slot machine effect and the holographic looking play field. Good Luck

    I have one in NJ if you want! I just picked it up. Do you know how to reset it? It won't stop paying 25 balls every 1 min.

    It may be trying to catch up on paying out winning balls. Keep feeding balls through the rear hopper and eventually it should catch up and stop paying. It may take a while depending on how many balls you have to feed it and how many balls it owes.

    Awesome! Thanks for the Reply! How do I perform a RESET. It's the Orange Sankyo with what appears to be a clear switch to the left of the reel. I have held down while powering up but same problem occurs. The error code on the back reads 0. Do you know what that means?
