A confession to my wife

[wrkey]

So...I came home late from work and humbly told my wife. "I have a confession to make." She looked into my eyes, thought for just a few seconds and then said...

"Oh sheet, you bought another dang Pachinko machine!"

Well.. she's was right. See the photos below of my new vintage Sankyo machine. I'm still researching but here's what I know so far. The sticker says 50 so I'm guessing it's a 72 model. There is the word 'Swing' on the top center target but I'm not sure if that's the name of the machine or just that feature. On the lower tray there are the words 'Azuma' and lots of Eqyption glyphs on it. Any one know the actual name?

Now for the bad news. The machine has a broken jackpot flap. There is a photo of the broken part below. The hopper is also broken so I've got a piece of cardboard taped up there for now. Anyone know where I can get either of these?

Oh.. got this one off of Craig's list here in Houston, Tx.

I have played it some by taping up the hopper and the jackpot switches. All the other components seem to be working okay. It appears to have a lot of elements that would make it fun to play.

Later!
