This is a great find from Craigslist for an early 60's Japanese "single shot" Pachinko machine. This machine would have been in a Pachinko Parlor on the Ginza strip in Tokyo for about a year before being taken out of service and imported to the US. In my experience with collecting these machines the earlier ones were brought to the US by military personel before importers found profit in sending these machines to the US to be refurbished and sold in Department Stores. This is one of the oldest of the 50 machines I have. Enjoy!
