Clam posted this oldy in the ShoutBox and I thought I'd put it here for more to see!!

The auction says 1929 I think..Could it really be that old?? It's at 40,500 yen/$298.10!!

To tired and sick to export the pics. But I knew I could rely on someone to pick up the mantle.

It was also in the antique section of YJA rather than the Hobby-Pachinko section.

Looks like it old for 40,500 yen!

i can't figure out how it works - where's the payout hopper; where do losing balls go?

there's a coin slot too

Huh..I didn't even notice that!!

After staring at the pictures for a while I'm gonna take a guess!!

There might be some missing like coin collection, but here goes!!

Inserting a coin releases a (captive) ball into play.. Shoot ball and get it into one of the 3 hearts and win coins!!


There is a linkage that goes from the coin slot to where the ball is I think??..it is released down the Left vertical tube to the playfield!!

It looks like if you shoot too far or miss the hearts or the white rectangle you get to shoot again!! I think if your ball goes in the white part under the middle heart it's game over!!

When a ball goes in a heart it hits the linkage that lifts the door covering the front of the coin slots..

You may get the ball back after a win?? May be a second ball released (from middle tube??) with the pay out or something..can't see why here would be the second lower arm going in the center tube if it didn't do something..I see several things that could happen!!

You can see in the last pic that the thing that feeds the front tray has two thin slots that looks like it could hold two rows of coins!!
