    Default I need Help identifying a Pachinko Machine

    Hello All, I was wondering if anybody out there could identify this machine. it has been in my family for years and i wanted to Fix it as a new project. However i do not want to do anything until i am more familiar
    with this machine. after searching online i haven't found this particular model. What i do know about it was manufactured by a company called Maruhon, and my grandfather brought it back from the Philippians some time in the early 1970's the only modification being the wooden base at the bottom so that it may stand on it's own. There are several plastic parts in the back that are missing and a few parts that need to be cleaned. this being due to years of use and storage. any help is much appreciated

    I have a Maruhon that had a missing hopper. Since I couldn't find the correct replacement...I made one fit from a Nishijin Model B, which are probably the most common vintage machines. Of course it wasn't a perfect fit. There were some relatively easy modifications needed. Here is a link to what I needed to do to make it work. http://www.pachitalk.com/forums/show...light=columbus
