    Default 1958 Ginmasa

    This is one of the nicer 50’s pachinkos I’ve seen on eBay in a while. Looks very similar to a Misono I bought locally a while back.

    Nice colorful playfield. Wonder how much it will go for!

    Am I just not looking at this correctly or.....
    It seems like the bottom casing is to close to the waste ball shute. Where do the lost balls collect at? Perhaps the bottom portion was bad and the framing is built up around the lower parts? Or is this turned into a cyclic machine and I don't see where it is done? My vision is a bit off these days so any "insight" is welcomed.

    Looks kind of "odd" from the front. A hole needs to be drilled in the cabinet for winning balls to exit.

    The more I look at it, the more I think I can make a frame for it. The only thing that bothers me is the small square to the left of the ashtray.
    The plastic on the back looks good, very uncommon...it is usually broken. Brass looks like it has been polished...but never removed. I.E. no distortion of the metal around the nails and no gouging of nearby wood, Mechanically...I don't see anything wrong, other than the stiff wire that resets the seesaw is out of place.
    With a frame, this would be a winner! A frame could be built...but, not everybody is a candidate for that! I want to bid on it...but, just too much work for the money. But it does look nice. And it is an unusual name brand.
