any ball handling to deal with!

What is Pachinko??
A little late night searching to discover what was in that
R2D2 unit back at C-4
lead us to the manufacturer and then to an importer who filled us in on Pachinko. In a nutshell: Gambling is Illegal in Japan. After WWII, someone figured out how to bypass that rule with these Vertical Pinball games. Apparently laws in Japan require Pachinko Machines to be replaced every year so what to do with all these perfectly good entertainment devices?? Sent them to us! Unfortunately that R2 was a custom job but we've seen some really talented work from collectors over at the
RPF
, maybe someone will design a case for us?
Direct from Japan's Pachinko Parlors is Sankyo's series of "Macross" pachinko machines exclusively for the Japanese market where pachinko parlors are very popular. This machine feature a Robotech ship across the HUGE, over 15 inch, LCD High Definition play field! The digital display that plays animated footage from the 1980's Macross Series - ROBOTECH to us Americans!
The Game is quite simple, almost like a vertical Pinball Machine... load up the machine and front hopper with balls. A quick turn of the handle causes to balls to be fired one at a time up to the top of the machine. They then cascade down though various gates, pins, gears & wheels accumulating points (& thus more balls) for you. Depending on how far you turn the handle changes the force and the aim of the balls. The primary goal is to aim for the "Start Gate" which start the bottom center wheels spinning and depending on what 3 images appear, move you up the levels. Change levels and short movies run on the main screen. Various Cut-Scenes and music play at different points during play along with a moving Battloid & More all around the screen! It's a total immersion in game from the start.
These machines are professional refurbished by us, an 8 amp transformer installed to convert the machine to US voltage, it's tested and certified, then expertly packaged and shipped straight from us. Comes complete with an ample supply of at least
100
11mm Authentic Engraved Pachinko Balls, wood legs to stand it upright attached, Authentic Machine Key, startup manual, Manual, and a 6 month transformer & circuit board warranty.
