Hi! I have been racking my brain and tried a few different spellings to try and find a plachinko machine on ebay. They were really popular in the 80's. I believe they are oriental of some type, maybe chinese. They are about 3 feet high and there are a ton of little silver balls inside, behind a glass cover. You pull a handle and all the balls fall down through these little pins and cups and stuff. I played it when I was a kid so I barely remember what they even did. Anywa, I saw one a while back and would love to find one on ebay, but I don't know for sure how to spell it or what it's called for sure. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks....coral

Try 'pachinko'. You will find a number of listings.

Pachinko is a popular leisure game unique to Japan.

We used to have quite a few of those actually, brought back from Japan when I was a baby in 72 or thereabouts. Wish we still had all that stuff!!

Ah, yes - Pachinko! The Japanaeese method of improving the mindlessness and time-wasting of Solitare. I tried it a few times and it wasn't any fun to me. Maybe for others who are smarter than I am would find it amusing?

I won nearly ¥1 Million playing a Pachinko Game in Kyoto. Each ball I believe is worth around ¥1000 each, depending on the Game Center.

A bin about the size of 7 Large priority mail Boxes side by side holds nearly ¥100,000 in balls.
