Vintage Kyoratall Base Ball Pachinko Machine Coin OP NO Reserve Price | eBay

That is an interesting machine. Not sure if it is one I would go after though.

[browne92]

Can't really justify the money right now, but I am going to watch just to see what happens. I like the baseball theme.

[Moparformances]

neat machine I love mine... its a bit different then that one but the concept should be the same..

That is an interesting arrangeball and I do like the Baseball theme. Thank you for sharing the video.

Be a little careful on going much on it if it has been stored in a laundry room for over ten years. A lot of moisture to condense on the chips and rust on the insides. Not an easy machine to find someone to work on it for you.

After looking it looks like the low coin light is on so it would not work even if he knew how to play it without tokens in it. The machine has a lot of relays and I think that is somewhat of a plus as the machine Hanabi bought is almost all relays and I think it works well. I do see some chips and this could be an easy fix or ??? Definitely not for the faint of heart. The baseball theme is a minus for some and a plus for others. I do notice it has a bonus button on the machine. Good luck everybody. Shipping will not be cheap.

I have this machine and its a good one. Actually, anyone into pachinko at all should have one of these types in their collection.
I made a YouTube video of this machine under Kyoraku Baseball.
There's no bonus on it. The red button is how coins are fed into this machine. The player places a stack of coins in the upper left hopper. Each time the red button is pressed, a spring loaded arm shoots the bottom coin into the machine. It's a novel way to insert a coin and the only machine I've ever seen with that feature.
I'm also not sure if the low token light stops game play. Out of all the arrangeball (this machine isnt really an arrangeball) machines I've seen or owned, only my 3 later model Satomis won't start a game if there's low tokens and this isn't in the machine's "programming". It's just simply a solenoid that moves a metal arm in the way of an incoming token and diverts it out to the coin return. It's been a long time since I played mine and I can't remember for sure if it stops game play or not. I'll go check later on.
It does have a few relays but there are 2 circuit boards that control the machine and function as ball detectors to display what bases have players on them.
Max score is 5.

I contacted the seller. No tokens and there's a handfull of balls jammed in the back. Looks pretty rough. I plan to bid on it if the price doesn't jump up too much.

[Card Shark]

Good luck.

[Skydanz]

Thanks Buddy. Hopefully I don't get a bunch of competition. (hint, hint guys) The shipping just about puts this one out of reach.

Play ball!

Hey batter, batter, batter!

The machine has a lot of relays and I think that is somewhat of a plus as the machine Hanabi bought is almost all relays and I think it works well.

Yes LOTS of relays

PachiTalk

and it does work very well, no issues so far and as it's set up in the dining room it gets played often

[emmadog]

So I powered mine up and as I thought, the machine will start a game with the low token light on. I compared the eBay pics of the inside to my machine as I don't see anything missing. However the 3 baseball diamond lights are on which means there should be 3 balls underneath the white ball detector in the pic. It doesn't look like there are any balls there but I can't be sure. It could be a problem with the 3 detectors or some of the circuitry elsewhere. When it's time to payout, the solenoid arm holding back the balls representing runners releases. The balls then roll down and interact with a lever that pivots over a reed switch. Each time it passes over the switch one coin is paid out so the base lights are not necessary to "tell" the machine that runners are on bases.

[Skydanz]

Thanks Emmadog. I appreciate any info you can offer. I am pretty mechanically inclined so I think I'll be able to work it out. As long as all the parts are there, I can usually figure out what makes it tick. I am postponing my bids until later on in the sale. I've noticed that early bids tend to drive the price up from non pachi people who just want to jump on the bandwagon but have no idea what they're getting. If I win it, I'll be sure to post a blog about it.

[emmadog]

no problem. it's a great machine and lots of fun. some of the pockets are base hits, one pocket will payout 5 coins right away and end the game, a couple return the ball back to the shooter, and one's a home run, IIRC. if the bases are loaded and a base hit is made then a 1 is added to the score. so when a base is made the ball rolls onto a ledge behind the machine and underneath the first of 3 ball detectors. when a ball is sensed, the corresponding base light comes on. when the bases are loaded and another hit is made, that 4th ball has no room on the ledge with the other balls so it simply drops down, activates the switch and 1 is added to the score since this symbolizes the 3rd base runner making it to home.

[Skydanz]

Cool! I see that there's a bid on it now. If there's another member here that is bidding on it, let me know and I'll step aside. ;P)

[mxfaiman]

Just a $85 start, but I'm guessing it will go pretty high!!

would have gone for less but nothing can be kept a secret on here.

Saw it the other night and it looked cool. But $85 + $85 shipping. Ouch. I know a few machines locally that I'd rather have for that price. (not arrangeballs though)

[Card Shark]

It is an intersting machine but I am going to pass on this one. Got a couple of local machines I may be negotiating on soon.
