I have 2... Sankyo & Nishijin. Got them back in late 70's, refurbished from a place that sells pool tables, video games, etc. They're "old school". NOT video. Have the capacity to be hooked up to one of those big, chunky batteries to produce sounds.

SOMEWHERE, in my totally organized house, I have the directions on how to unjam them?? But cannot find them.

Anyone know a site where I can download the directions? I know I can buy them on Ebay but it kills me to think about paying MEGA S&H for a few sheets of paper.

I don't know of a particular place, but I have been surprised at the things I have found by typing what I am looking for into Google.

I picked one up last year at a sale. Yes, there is online info. This site is one I bookmarked for when I finally get my basement done to hang it up

Rimfire!!! This is EXACTLY what I needed! THANK YOU!! When we got the pachinkos, it was from a place in Cherry Hill, NJ and I'm fairly sure IT was called "Pachinko Palace"?!?

Great! I picked mine up from a widow whose husband brought it back from overseas. Got quite the story with it and how they paid off in cigarettes.

They have a teeny ash tray that flips over. BIL was in the Air Foce in Korea for a while in the 70's. He said they were very popular in "parlors" like casinos. Some schmoo had the job of coming around and emptying ash trays that couldn't have held more than 3-4 cigs. He said if they got too full patrons would just dump them onto the floor and they'd eventually get swept up.

Again, THANKS for the info that lead to directions!
