Coolest inheritance but very confused

[savsharp]

Hi all! I’m super new to this forum but have been fascinated with Japanese gaming since i was a kid. Much to my surprise, i was passed down two vintage (i think!) pachinko machines and i don’t have a ton of know-how on fixing them! Here are some pics, a little overwhelmed on where to start otherwise

and biscuits


Please post a photo of the Front of the Second machine . Many thanks

And Really good Condition on both (I hope the front of the second machine is as good condition as the first).

There are some great Youtube videos on how these machines work and how to restore them, etc. A good place to start would be here, I suppose:

From there on Dan has other good videos with further explanations. I have also seen a great animated video that explains the different mechanics in detail how each part works but couldn't find it easily. It's linked somewhere in this forum .

looks like you got a nice pair..

both look to need a bit of work but at first glace based on the pics you posted they should be playable (again with a bit of work)

the sankyo has it low ball rod disconnected..

the other machine has it upper ball path bent upwards perty hard..

keep us posted
