    Default amazing vintage machine with BALL LIFTER

    Now here is an incredible find: https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/e363066332
    Not only is the condition wonderful, but it has a HAND CRANKED BALL LIFTER

    I have never seen a feature like that before.
    100,000 Yen is way too pricey for me, but would be a crown jewel of many pachinko collections.
    WANTED: 10¥ games, pre-1950s machines, スマートボール (Smart Ball), payazzo/kronespill, Pickwick-style (~1905)
    if you have any of these in North America, let's talk.

    The ad says late 50's but it's actually a 1952 machine. The "repeater" machines were outlawed and only single shots were allowed by the late 50's. I have one of these in my collection and it is indeed a beautiful machine and fun to play. The manual ball lifter is really a pretty simple, but ingenious device. My guess is that because of the repeating nature of these machines that players would be going through balls faster than staff could manually fill machines so machine manufacturers had to create a way for a player to fill their own prize hopper. Just a guess. That seller on YJapan has some nice pachinko items, but they are always very expensive.
