Hot topic at the moment in the For Sale forum, but I thought I'd create a thread here for anyone who would like to showcase or chat about Pachinko machines.

Often called Japanese Pinball these machines are played by millions in Japan. I don't know much more than that, but here's mine which I bought because I think it oozes retro-cool and was made in 1973 - a good year indeed ;)

They all have a novelty value - which IMO fades (Especially when you dont know what they are saying!) ;)
 
It sure is! I bought mine as I thought it looked interesting. It turned up in a search on eBay for pinball and wasn't too far away. It needs some TLC but I managed to get it working easily. Only needs a 9V battery to run a couple of lights as essentially it's a gravity driven mechanical device (balls are loaded in to the rear top tray by an operator in the parlours).
