Questions if someone goes to the Museum in Japan
Thought it would be interesting to start a thread of possible questions we'd like answered in the event anyone ever makes it to the Pachinko Museum or possibly a manufacturer over in Japan.
1. How to tell the date of manufacture
2. Did the machines before the electronics age have names?
3. ?

why do the same models have different pockets and spinners

were the parts made by a suppler and then sold to the different manufactures

Re: Questions if someone goes to the Museum in Japan
is there a collector's manual or website that shows rare, or extremely collectable, pachinko models?
Re: Questions if someone goes to the Museum in Japan
is there an accepted Time Line for the various models and evolution of the designs / mechanics from the vintages to early moderns
and where is that information to be found

Re: Questions if someone goes to the Museum in Japan
some members here have the same style or make with different ones on them.
palour owners may have been using parts machines to keep their money makers working properly
Re: Questions if someone goes to the Museum in Japan
On vintage, different background with same center feature.

Re: Questions if someone goes to the Museum in Japan
This one is probably not to difficult to understand - it was cheaper and easier for manufacturers to simply re-use the centre feature and change backgrounds to get a 'new' machine. You see the same thing in Western manufacture of pinballs and so on from the 40-60's and even beyond.
But for Luckydog's question, I need an example of the NAME of such a machine please, because I think I have an answer for you, if you can confirm an example machine name(s) for me to check.
We can take this offline (PM) if you'd prefer I don't 'crap up' the thread with this stuff?

I'd ask about how the size of the balls came about. probably a dumb gaijin question lol
This game induces a kind of hypnosis, a strange feeling of happiness. Winning is hardly important. But, time passes. You lose touch with yourself for a while, and merge with a machine and perhaps you forget, what you always wanted to forget.....

Re: Questions if someone goes to the Museum in Japan
This would be an interesting one. I have an aunt by marriage, born in Japan. She has been to my home only twice in recent years as I am in PA and she is in South Carolina... She showed NO interest at all in playing my machines and when she mentioned them, it seemed that it was with a bit of disdain.
