"Restoration" Pachinko Ginza Machine - Part I.

Recently, I got 3 new (used, really beat up) Pachinko machines from a friend in town. This one, a Ginza machine was "new" to me, I have never seen one in person. Anyhow, after a LOT of cleaning, I got to this stage where I was able to load some balls and try it out. Of course, nothing went smoothly, and I had to dig deeper into the defects.
In depth "restoration" of the Ginza pachinko the past few nights, with exciting conclusions! Lots of "behind the scenes" of how the game works, and two major flaws that almost left this one "broken". Turned out ok for something I can't get parts for NOR is there a repair guide online.. lol

When my wife wanted to buy a Pachinko machine, I wasn't a fan. She did, I wasn't impressed, but now I am. Thanks for the tips!

Very helpful to see your process of repair on this machine. Thanks!

Hello Dan -- Interesting video indeed. Do you, by chance, know what Pachinko machine repair men are called in Japanese? Wim Wedner has a reference in his movie "Tokyo-Ga" (1985) calling them Kogici, the nail men. Do you know if this is the correct spelling? Would love to know.

I have no idea, wish I did know the answer!
