Vintage Sanko - Missing/Broken parts

[theredlineboss]

Quite some time ago (actually, around the time I registered here), I picked up a vintage Sankyo pachinko machine. It was cheap ($25) and looked to be missing some pieces. All these years of sitting haven't improved the thing, so it's time to see what can be done.

I have removed a cover from the rear of the machine to get a sense of what's up and...I'm still a bit lost. I can see a part is missing on the right side and a component in the center appears to be broken, plus I'm not sure that everything has the ability to be actuated. If anyone has pictures of what it's supposed to look like and sources for replacement pieces, I would appreciate the help. Thanks!

the piece on the right is only needed when the machine runs low on balls.. it could be home made with a bit of 90 degree bent aluminum..

please post a close up pic of the jackpot mech.. kinda hard to see the details..

and of course the long awaited

Thanks guys! For the piece on the right, I figure I may be able to replicate the piece in 3d builder, but it's been difficult to see exactly what it's supposed to look like. As for the jackpot mech, hopefully this picture will give a sense of its condition.

With the way the machine is at this time, any balls I add to it run straight through out the bottom of the machine.

do you have the broken part? was it stuck in the machine??

[theredlineboss]

Sadly, no- the cover over the jackpot mech is MIA, so I assume the broken part was removed by a prior owner. That would have made this much easier! In any event, I honestly don't know enough to say exactly what it should have looked like (or even how this part is actuated or used) but I can tell that something was sheared off. Looking online, I suspect it would have looked something like this one on a Nishijin.

Update- I removed the broken piece from the jackpot mech and here's what we have:

Obviously, it'll need either replacement or repair. And I think I'm on the right path for repair. My local craigslist happened to have a machine very similar to mine for the princely sum of $40. It was sold for parts and it looks better than what I have, lol. In any event, the jackpot mech is undamaged & the piece missing from mine is there. As such, I present a the result of tinkering for several hours in 3D Builder:

The translucent part is intended to be epoxied to the mech part and it looks good so far:

Next step will be to clean the part, epoxy the repair in place, and make the metal portion of that part.
