UP FOR sale IS A 1950s- 1960s (MAYBE OLDER?)JAPANESE PACHINKO GAMING MACHINE THAT I PICKED UP AT A LOCAL ESTATE SALE. RESEARCH I HAVE DONE INDICATES THAT THIS WAS ONCE A VERY POPULAR JAPANESE PARLOR GAME AND THAT THESE MACHINES ARE VERY RARE AND COLLECTIBLE! INCLUDED IN THE SALE ARE APPROXIMATELY 120 PACHINKO BALLS (I COUNTED 122 PLUS ONE LARGE ONE THAT I DON\'T THINK BELONGS WITH THE SET?) EACH WITH JAPANESE AND ENGLISH WRITING ETCHED ON IT, AND THE FRONT FACE OF THE MACHINE WHICH IS WHERE ALL THE HARDWARE IS? I THINK THE REST OF THE MACHINE CONSISTS OF A MOSTLY EMPTY BOX EITHER FREE STANDING OR TO SUPPORT IT HANGING ON THE WALL? THE FACE AND MECHANISMS ALL APPEAR TO BE INTACT, IN GOOD CONDITION AND OPERATIONAL? ON THE BACK OF THE MACHINE THERE IS A SMALL BATTERY BOX (I THINK FOR LIGHTING?) THAT NEEDS TO BE REATTACHED AND A BALL TRAY THAT IS CRACKED AND HAS A SMALL PIECE MISSING. OTHERWISE IT IS REALLY NICE! I\'VE FOUND OF RECORDS OF A FEW OF THESE MACHINES THAT WERE FULLY RESTORED SELL FOR BETWEEN $8,000.00 - $15,000.00! I DON\'T KNOW WHAT IT IS WORTH SO I AM STARTING MY offerDING AT A VERY REASONABLE $199.00 WITH A \"BUY IT NOW\" THAT ALLOWS AMPLE ROOM FOR FULL RESTORATION? OTHERWISE IT LOOKS VERY COOL JUST THE WAY IT IS AND IS PERFECT FOR THE ANTIQUE GAME COLLECTOR TO HANG ON THE WALL OR RESTORE AND RESELL FOR TOP DOLLAR? I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THE sale EARLY AS IT IS FOR SALE IN OTHER VENTUES. SO offer EARLY! SOLD AS IS WHERE IS, NO RETURNS, NO REFUNDS!I WILL SHIP THE MACHINE ANY WAY THE WINNING BUYER CHOOSES INCLUDING USPS, UPS, FEDEX OR LOCAL PICKUP? I WILL CAREFULLY PACK IT WITH LOTS OF BUBBLE WRAP AND A SUITABLE BOX. COSTS OF PACKAGING WILL BE ADDED TO THE SHIPPING COSTS. INSURANCE IS REQUIRED AND WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE FINAL SHIPPING CHARGES? I WILL SHIP WORLDWIDE AT THE BUYER\'S EXPENSE. ASK ME FOR A QUOTE BEFORE YOU offer?THANKS FOR LOOKING! BEST OF LUCK WINNING THIS VERY RARE PIECE OF GAMING HISTORY!
