    Default Is it worth saving What exactly do I have here

    Hi Guys,

    My name is Cody, and this is my first Pachinko machine. I was given it last year, but it was sort of on the back burner behind fixing my pinball machines.

    I know for sure it is missing it's glass, I am hoping a local shop can cut me a piece. Are the glass a standard size?

    Included is a picture of the back, does it look like it is missing anything? Should I invest the time to clean it up and get it working? Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Well your in the wrong place if your asking is it worth saving.



    To my untrained eyes it looks complete. The wood, playfield and plastic look in good condition. Interesting centre feature. Although I can't see a connection between swallows and trumpets.

    The picture of the back is a bit blurry to my eyes, the only two things I can see missing are the lower track cover and sea saw cover. Kind of hard to see, but I circled them in red.

    Thank you! I do love playing pachinko, just wanted to make sure I had something that was complete before I invested too much money into it. Where would I be able to find the missing parts or should I just make some myself?

    If you can make some yourself, all the better. The sea saw covers are kind of hard to find, took me a couple of months to find one for my nephews machine. The lower track covers I've seen for sale as reproduction pieces, but I'm not sure if they were only for Nishijin or if they'd work on your Sankyo. You can alway look around Ebay for parts for sale or look for a donor "parts only machine" for sale.

    It looks like the upper track cover is missing. You will need one, but you can make one from cardboard or plastic card.

    Good morning guys!

    I will get it into better light for better pictures today. Thank you all!

    As far as glass, I do not have the original to measure, should I just try to get the best measurement I can off the tracks?
