    can anyone give me an idea what this might cost? The mechanics work but needs some cleaning

    Very clean and complete. The metal front top tray really cool and the play field has no water stains and looks unmolested by kids . The back looks complete and nothing cracked or broken.

    $100 high side

    Oh ,

    When things don't go right the 1st time , Step back ,Take a break and come back renewed. RGS

    I'm cheap, so i agree ~ 40 bucks

    but it does have a starter collection of balls so i might go 60.. probably not..

    Please keep in mind these machines were mass produced by the thousands if not hundreds of thousands! Thousands of them were imported to the states during the 70's and sold for $30-$40. Most of those machines are still in the condition they were in when purchased in the '70's. They tend to be dirty, rusty and non-working.
    If someone takes the time to clean them up, fix the lights and get them working properly, the value does go up into the $200-$300 range. A fully restored and functional machine will start around $500 and go up.
    In my opinion, there are no truly rare pachinko machines as every eBayer wants you to believe. They are still too plentiful to be rare and worth a lot of money.
    There are exceptions of course with some of the Nishijin machines such as Power Flash, UFO, Circuit and Roulette, etc. Fully restored versions of those machines get up into the $1,000+ range.
    Don't despair that your machine is only worth $40-$50. Clean it up, get it working and have fun with it!

    I know Power Flash and Power Roulette, but what's UFO and Circuit? Can you post pics?

    If you were on West Coast I'd make an offer, as I've had my eye on that frog for a while now and haven't seen (or looked) for one locally.
    No free shipping ever on these lol...

    Both have very cool graphics. Are they expensive because the graphics are so sought after, or do they also have unique functionality like Power Flash and Power Roulette?

    yes they have unique functions like a power flash.. they will work with out power like any vintage but they require power for the extra features to work..

    there are a few other machines that fall under this category as well
