That's my machine. Dan was super to work with and did a fantastic job. Thank you!

My winning mechanism doesn’t work anymore and I think there’s balls jammed in one of the opening slot thingys

Thank you. My first machine in which I want to attempt to restore was just delivered today

Hi Dan. I just got a pachinko machine at a garage sale with the intent of cleaning it up and making it functional once again. My question to you is, "Is there anywhere that I might buy plastic parts for parts that are broken. I have a Sankyo machine from about 1972and the upper tray was taped onto the machine because the plastic holes on the backside of the part had deteriorated to the point that they would not hold the screws. Any hints of help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time. Ken

Can you share what power supply that is?

Good stuff. I just bought my first rough machine to restore. Appreciate the videos.

oooff water and cigarett residue....

Dan, I have to tell you, it’s hard to stop watching this. I appreciate you sharing and explaining this. I’m around 50 and appreciate your work. I’m sure when people stumble upon your work in different locations….even if they never saw one of these before, it grabs them in.

I was just given a Three Star. I was in my aunts attic for many years and seems to be in good shape. I remember playing it when I was a kid, so I know its at least 30 years old. The electrical has been cut and was wondering what voltage these run off? Thanks for any information

Liked your instructions on how to make crome look better.

Nice review. Don't have the money for you to make mine nice. Yes tried a 9v battery, it got realy hot. Should it be 6v? Subscribed. Mine is not good

Thanks for the video!

1973 TOYOMARU HARP PACHINKO MACHINE ?? I

nice job! What makes the water marks on the board? It seems they all have it. The best I figure is humdity absorption from being in a basemant. My Sanyo has it but I can live with it, and the chrome frame was rusted. I took off the front chrome frame and used a (wet) brillo pad to remove the rust and then used car wax to protect it. It came out very well.

I thought it was a lobster.

Good evening Professor..

And he knows magic! Dan the Magic Pachinko Man you are incredible

i just got two pachinko machines from my grandma she just passed. i’m trying to get them all working again and this vid helped a ton. do you have any advice on opening the front window ? i can’t seem to get it

Hey Dan I just picked up a machine at a yard sale. I need ti get balls for it do you know what size i should get? Thanks!

Very cool.

Dan Heiwa is a BIG pachinko company..... They just didnt ship Heiwa machines to the U.S. probaby because Heiwa means = Peace and No More WAR. The Atomic Bomb era..... was a bad deal for japan. It makes sence, for the company that was founded in 1949.

nice machine Dan!

Thank you for this walkthrough. We picked up a 'Chinaman" version and couldn't figure out what we were doing wrong...this was exactly what we needed.

I just came into possession of this same model (1969 conversion) and am learning so much from your videos. Thank you! Mine is in very rough shape so I plan on slowly attempting to restore it to the best of my ability.

Any ideas on what to check if the seesaw won’t reset in its own? Thanks!

I just got one of these but I cannot find the model I have anywhere. The front features a cave rock theme with animals my bottom says wait now

Hey Dan, I have 2 orange wires coming off the switch by the jackpot. They are cut or chewed into. Where do they hook up to?

My grandma had a similar one in storage. I’m trying to restore it back to at least working condition and get it as clean as possible. I started by removing the stuck balls in the machine and taking parts off to clean. Tons of rusty screws snapping on me and a lot of surface rust and dirt. Any tips for cleaning and replacement parts. I’m not aiming for perfection. Just want to get it clean and working.

I always wondered if the pachinko casinos were built on a slant 😂

What 70's manufacturers are still producing machines today?

My parts arrived the other day I just wanted to stop in and say thank you so much.

Beautiful! I noticed some similarities between this Nishijin and New Gin machines, are they the same company?

Could you use a sand blaster to clean up the rusted parts better?

I had to 3D print a feed tray for this version machine, where is a good place to post the files?

I bought a set of 500 7/16in balls online, 11.11mm… they clogged the machine :/

Hi Dan. I'm a guitar collector and have experience with wood holes and issues. To prevent further damage, have you considered using wood putty to fill and sand over small holes? Using dowels to plug the larger holes?. Super glue works great for filling cracks. Maintaing the integrity of the foundation seems important on a pachinko

I love seeing what's underneath crusty coating on these frames. Had one that a tiger stripe pattern appeared on.

Just watched a black and white BBC news reel archive of Japanese in Nagoya back in 1962 going crazy for pachinko. The reporter played a bit and exchanged his 28 balls for a package of biscuits. There was one guy who exchange his 200 balls for a full size bottle of whiskey. I guess the YT algorithm decided I like 1962 news because I saw another BBC news reel archive from 1962 about an island where anthrax was used. Anyhoo, from anthrax to 1962 pachinko players to 1972 pachinko machine! By the way, I guess you must like your workshop to be frigid.🥶🥶🥶

Thanks Dan. We need your wisdom to keep these machines running. You’re a great presenter.

Is there a reason you make two feet instead of just one larger base? Could a base be made that is maybe 3 inches larger than the base of the machine? Thanks!

Thank you! Personally, I don't mind the identical opening phrase at the beginning of the video. Many RUclipsrs have catch phrases that they use in the intro, and it gives a sense of familiarity. A few questions: You mentioned that the machine is designed for the house to win, not the player. In other videos, you've mentioned that there are tweaks you make to give your customers the maximum likelihood for a payout/win. Although I do not intend to disassemble my current pachinko or do any more major restoration, I am curious if I can tweak any of the pins/nails to encourage wins. The two lowest slots hardly ever get wins on my machine. Also, I really like your "lazy susan" spinning stand. Can you discuss how you made that, or what product I could buy that is comparable? Thanks for another fun video!

I was gifted a pachinko machine very similar to this one by my mom. It seems it is missing the power cord and is a bit dusty, but otherwise ok. So fun!

オール10ですか？という事は1975～76年位なんでしょうか？ それ以前はやはりオール15がメインで、1977~78年以降にはオール13。80年前後にはオール10や信じられないですが、かなり初期の台のリメイク版オール5があったみたいですね。（オール5は少しだけ打ったことがあります。いくら入賞しても出玉が増えませんでした。ｗ）

How do I go about fixing a sticky tulip? When the tulip is in its open position the ball seems to get stuck in the tulip. I’ve had some luck bending out the metal wings in the tulip but still happens sometimes. Very similar daiichi model

another great video

Nice!

Dan the man... creeping up on 2k.. outstanding

Great! Interesting about the top section on the front.

Just picked this style machine up locally for cheap. It appears to be in working order. Playfield is almost entirely faded out, the crown stickers are missing from the tulips, all color filling paint is missing from the attractions, but everything is there. Most of mine is clear ABS on the back and is cracked in several places. The chrome frame is pretty pitted and not sure it's to going to polish out so considering sandblasting and cerakoting the metal trim pieces a metallic matte silver or possibly a tiffany blue to match the ball tray. It seems like the light bar on mine is different, and there is no wiring for a light behind the jackpot. It appears that mine possibly never had a jackpot light at all, only the side light bar.

Oh my gosh! I played on the double tulip or double whatever they are called as a child in Japan. And yes, it sometimes "disappeared," so there wasn't a payout. I did not realize this was rare. Fun. Great videos! Thank you. I finally got a pachinko machine and my husband and son will restore it.
