What are your thoughts on this machine?

What are your thoughts on this machine? It's about 45 minutes away from me and I have to go up there anyway.

Pachinko Machine

Can you tell anything about this machine from the pics? Price seems right!

Thanks in advance!

[Drunkenclam]

Not a clue, but looks nice

[MrGneiss]

I don't know much about vintage, but it looks nice to me..If you're headed that way anyway..for $30..Just get it!!

[mxfaiman]

Uh lets see it has a yellow back and a blue front tray.




No this machine is rather interesting because you will search everywhere for a manufacturer name and will not find it anywhere. That is because it is made by New Ichigin. They were a very small company and it was odd to see they were making their own parts yet not putting their name on a majority of machines. I own one similar to this myself. http://www.pachitalk.com/forums/vint...o-machine.html

It sounds like everything should work on it. I don't see anything missing. And at that price it is a no brainer. I usually will not buy a machine if it isn't around $30.

Im not so positive..

they state the plastic is cracked.. and something about thouse small pics looks strage around the shooter tray..

but for 30 its worth a look

[drfong]

Thanks for the responses. I asked a couple questions, the cracked plastic is just the front plexiglass. A bigger picture of the front is on the way. I will probably pick it up tomorrow. This will be my second machine. Wish me luck!

[Moparformances]

sounds like it could be a great deal for ya

congrats

It is a neat looking game. I like the top field formed plastic, and the colors of the cell.
If the plexi is broken negotiate 10 more off the 30 price. Lexan that size is about 15 at Home Depot.
Otherwise, if the tray is intact (both the front jackpot and the upper storage in the back) and the track cover is there (which is looks to be) its worth 15-20 for sure, 30 yes but not quite with broken plexi (I'm cheap). Good luck.

The only things I see are a missing see-saw cover and a lot of wiring for a vintage. In the pachinko dessert I live in, I'd be all over that.

[Card Shark]

I say grab it. Looks to be an interesting machine a a reasonable price. The front plexi is an easy fix.

[whitedawg]

At $30.00 I'd say it's a good deal. If I was looking at it I'd offer $20.00 but would pay the $30.00 if I had to. It's a decent looking machine.

[pachiwall]

I think it looks good for $30.00. The front tray looked a little funny...but the pics are too small to tell. Look at it in person to make the final call...but from here, I say "go for it!".

[LJB]

i would grab it...

[DrDark]

DoIt!

Peer Pressure...a vital component to fostering a healthy pachi-addiction.

That's what we're here for...

[drfong]

I'm going to be picking it up sometime this week! Thanks for all the encouragement!

Here are the other pics the owner sent me. Sorry they are sideways. A few ugly dark spots near the top that I am hoping are just mildew I can clean off. Like everyone said, for $30 it's a no brainer and I'll be getting it in a few days. In the original post the owner said the main attraction was a dragon.. that sure looks like butterflies to me!

[Card Shark]

I think you are right about the butterflies. Not seeing a dragon. Looking forward to more pictures after yuo pick it up.

[drfong]

I was a bit disappointed, as the dragon sounded cool. But I like the butterflies too. Anyone know what the Japanese behind them says?

[Super Dave Osbourne]

If you so desire, make sure to post pictures and close out this thread. Cheers.
