Addictive?

I have an idea for a pachinko parlor business and I want to make sure that people would still get the "bug" even if legally no cash prizes are offered.

Might not be the most "moral" desire but I need to make sure I have some recurring business

How’d I do? Also how do I get this puppy running?

Newbie to Pachinko but came across this on FB marketplace for a good price. Would love to figure out to get it running but not even sure if I have everything I need (as far as parts and/or repairs)

I did a heavy wipe down and used some rust remover on the metal frame. (Last pic is the before)

Anyone know where a good place is to buy machines from the late 80s- 90s?

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

Dragonball coins

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Does anyone recognize them or know anything about their origin, age, manufacturer, rarity, or whether they were originally made specifically for Pachinko machines?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

Pachinko Restoration Help

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 :)

HEIWA JetKids worth $100?

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.

Can anyone tell me anything about this machine? It was my grandfather’s.

I don’t know much about it. He passed away last year and I always used to sit a play it. Not selling.
