My father-in-law has come across an old Pachinko machine (fairly small, fits on a table top), and he wanted to know if anyone had a use for it.

Do you have a picture of it? I love these machine - and they are quite fun to clean up.
Good idea, he is going to send me some and I’ll pass them along when he does.
Any DMS members that want to work on the machine may do so, we can talk about it here, or at the vector meeting on Thursday.

That would save me a trip to Japan… I’ll trade that for some elbow grease.
I restored one in vector a couple years ago. It was super fun and really easy to work on with the tools we have. All the schematics can be found online. Doing it as a group project for the arcade would be awesome.

I got one of these in 1978 (sixth grade) as a gift from a very generous relative. I had days and days of fun with it. Loved it.
Once you get it working, it would make a great permanent fixture for the DMS lobby.
That looks like it’s in very good condition, do you know if it works?
It does not. I believe that was why wanted to give it to Vector in case they wanted to tinker around with it
I would be happy to take it and do a group project to restore it for the arcade.
