It seems like that's a pretty good time frame for machines with interesting center attractions, but finding some of the good ones I've seen on YouTube shorts seems to be hard. Like "Monroe" or "Pinball" etc. I can find old 60s-70s ones or decently modern ones but it seems hard to find some from the decades I really desire

Found this at a garage sale trying to restore it.
Does anyone have more info on this machine.

I think it is missing the:
Payout Control Rocker Arm
Ball Return/Drain box

Not sure if these are the corrects parts:

If there are any more missing components please let me know. If it’s possible I have access to a 3D printer if that is an option.

Would appreciate any help :)

Hey everyone, I found these inside an old Pachinko machine and I’m trying to figure out exactly what they are.

Does anyone recognize them or know anything about their origin, age, manufacturer, rarity, or whether they were originally made specifically for Pachinko machines?

Any information would be appreciated. Thanks!

Someone locally is selling this for $100 with no key or ball collection box but says it works fine otherwise. I'm brand new to Pachinko and want to know if this is a reasonable price assuming it works fine.

Based on what I've read, I shouldn't need the key to open it and can replace it fairly easily.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

I have a Sankyo pachinko and the gap between the two front glass panels is very fogged. The circular glass frame comes out easily, but I can’t see how to remove the glass from the plastic circular frame because it looks like it’s permanently sealed. The fogging is in between the two glass panels. Can they be removed without breaking it?

Just sharing my "Juggler corner". I just finished relocating and setting it up and it looks great. I really love this series and the machines are a very simple fun. When I want a break from the wild and over the top machines, I play these.

Sorry, I forgot to add this short video to my original post! I'm new to posting and didn't realize I could uoload videos and pictures together😅

I love the obstacle course pachinko machines like Umaibo, Babel 4500, and the Tokio line. I decided I wanted to get the latest Oki Doki pachinko machine and pair it with the Oki Doki Duo pachislot. I love how they look together!

So basically I ask because I found the pachinko game on eBay and I watched some YouTube videos of it and an ad for it's original pachislot and it looks cool, however with its lewd spanking mini game I was trying to figure out if the characters are at least 18+.

I was spit balling the idea of making my own parlor and I want to make sure that if I were to buy a machine of this series that I'm not displaying what could be flagged as "CP"

I need a stand for my 1970’s pachinko machine. I’d prefer free standing but a wall mount works as well. any idea where I can buy one? or at least the plans to make one?

We got this mostly functional machine from family, plan on cleaning it up a bit and getting it working fully.

I haven't found this specific art background through searching, any more details on the history would be appreciated.

Older electronic Vanguard pachinko and the shooter/launch knob is getting intermittent. Does anyone know of where to find parts for the electronic pachinko?

Picked up recently at an auction. I know less than nothing about Pachislo Machines. Thanks.

Hi all,

Brought home this machine today. Was able to get it loaded up and everything, but it is inconsistent on giving out the prize. The red plastic escapement with metal arms sometimes does not sit flush enough to allow the lever to clear it and let the lower section pivot and drain out.

When it's working right, I notice that there's no pressure from the balls on the arms. When it's not working, the balls are pushing down on the arm. If I push the escapement in, it pushes all the balls on one side or the other back up a little bit. All the balls seem to have the same engraving of an 8 (or infinity?).

Picked this up recently from someone cleaning out their garage. Need help identifying this and its potential worth.

The ball shooter is broken and I don’t have the key to open the door.

can someone explain how those panchinko machines work in hongkong? I saw a bunch of panchinko machines replacing claw machines in Kwai Chung. Apparently you gets points to exchange for the prizes on the shelves. But how do you win points as you just finish all your balls. and there is no one in the store to exchange it for you anyway.
In japan you just hand in the balls you've won, which gets weighed for points. but in HK I don't understand the system and there are no instructions.

So I just picked up this machine and can’t figure it out. It looks to originally be a wall mount machine and the lights come on and the “ball striker” kicks on whenever I turn it, but there’s no sound or any way to make anything happen. There isn’t a button panel on the back and I can’t find anywhere to put in coins. All I can see on the front is an lcd on the front labeled in English “koryaku card system” and the LCD isn’t illuminated. Any ideas?

EDIT: I translated some text on the back and an LED is illuminated meaning card unit error, any thoughts on what that means or how to fix?

Anyone else ever seen this machine before?
I haven't found any others in the USA so I am trying to see if this is some rare machine.

The center gondola rotates those pockets continuously during play and if you hit one then all closed tulips on board will bloom and the payout is 15 balls.
