Mahjong Dragon Ura Dora

Not my thing since I'm trying to stick to moderns, but if someone could restore this thing to working status it would be an amazing part of a retro collection.

It’s a Jankyu machine; it sure does look cool; but nobody around here seems to know the gameplay rules; unless you are a Mahjong expert. Would be hard to tell if it works properly since there seems to be very few (English speaking) people who know how it should function. I’d imagine a machine that old might have a few bugs to work out like most arrange ball machines from that era.

I’ll stick with arrange balls and mahjong themed pachinkos that even a simpleton can understand how to play.

This may be the same “junk” model that was for sale over a year ago; sold for 90,777 yen (US$648.15) So I don’t see it selling cheap for 1 yen…

That’s a pretty big risk to pay over $600; another $300+ for shipping; and it may not even work…. not to mention the whole gameplay rules lack of knowledge issue.

Yeah, I don't think it's going to stay at 1 yen for long. My son saw it and told me I had to bid on it because it looks so cool. This from the boy who doesn't care for any of the pachinko machines I have...

[Atoombolle]

Actually, it's going to stay at 1 yen for a while since it's "direct pick up only" and the seller won't ship... There may be a bidder in Nagoya I suppose. The city is plenty big, but the hardcore collectors are likely out.

Almost 20 years ago I would see mahjong machines, I think older than these, on ebay every once in a while and I thought they looked so cool and hoped to get one some day...What I didn't know at the time was that they weren't common like normal vintages and after the 3 or 4 I saw listed I would NEVER see one listed on ebay again!!

Even if I couldn't understand one, I still want one!!

[mb7241]

Not gonna lie...I kinda want this...but I have no contacts in Nagoya that can get this (that I'm aware of, at least)... Been dabbling a bit in mahjong here lately, and would like to see if I can figure out the rules to this.

I was under the impression. It doesn't have auto payout and that an attendant had to do it. Although that might have been on an earlier model.

It didn't sell at 1 yen. Chances are it now has gone to the great dumpster in the sky.
