Well whatever it is; it looks very complicated to fix if broken!

I should have known by the German text; not pachinko but flick ball; seems like a cross between an arrange ball and a British Allwin to me. Neat! Probably not very common in the US! Someone needs this for their collection!

[cait001]

Btw it is in Kansas, near the Oklahoma border, NOT in Chicago

I am having them ship it to me. This dang website has been very expensive for me!!! *shakes fist at lotsoballs while checking shipping update on her FromJapan hanemono order*

I had wanted a Bingolette for a while but happy to get a German original instead.

Nice! Did they mention if it works?

Good to see it’s going to someone on here! Haha, I can’t help it but to post the cream of the crop I come across; I figure it’s better than making threads about the beat up, faded, water stained, rusty old Nishijin and Sanyo vintage machines for “just $200” that typically pop up on CL locally and eBay!

Unknown but it seems complete. I am used to working on EM pinball machines, so as long as the parts are there I have a good chance

Also a correction:
Bingolette is 1959. Rialto is 1964.

OK NOW, after picking my jaw back up offa the floor the answer would be no...I ain't seen that. Sure would LOVE TO though... (except, of course, if I did then I'd want one of *those* too...??)

Pick yourself up and dust yourself off. Outside of early 20th century automated phone switching technology, bingo pinballs are some of the most intricate electromechanical devices out there. And in regards to arcade/gambling machines, definitely the most elaborate before solid state circuitry ever arrived.

the great thing about bingos is that most people don't understand them and/or value them, so they are readily available for a few hundred dollars. They are extremely heavy (some nearly 400 pounds) but also extremely fun and addictive. I can't imagine anyone loving pachinko but not also enjoying the radically different gameplay of a bingo pinball. They are both addictive gambling games with unique scoring mechanisms and ways to manipulate the odds.
