Question
How much is a fully functional nishijin pachinko pinball machine?

Answer
Hi Daniel,

I assume you asking about these Japanese upright picinko gambling machines that shoot the ball bearings up to bounce down through nails to try to get one in a whole for a ball bearing payout. There not worth much, I had someone try to give me two of them and I turned him down. I think you could find one on crags list for cheep or next to nothing. If you are trying to sell one I would ask for something lower then a hundred dollars like maybe 25.00 to 40.00 and see if you get lucky. I am sure if your looking to buy one you could pay more but look around some and you will get one real cheep. I am also sure that some models are worth more then others but I don't deal in any of these or know one from another. They are a gambling machine but and non coin operated. I hope this is the information your looking for, by your question I can't tell if you have one to sell or looking to buy one. If I can help you further please let me know.
Sincerely

Rodger Knutson
