INCREDIBLE Vintage Pachinko Machines

In this edition of Taryl's Toys titled "Taryl's Pachinko Parlor", Taryl goes over some Vintage Japanese Pachinko Machines he restored, like the ones he had when he was a child. You could buy them back in the 60s and 70s at most retail stores such as Sears, K-Mart or Venture. Check out all the neat additions Taryl made to the machines regarding lights and just cleaning up and restoring these cool old pinball-style machines.
Prior to and after the lesson, Taryl decides to open his own Pachinko parlor with the help of his son, Junior. See how it all plays out here and if interested, Taryl discusses many sources for Pachinko restoration and parts. These neat machines are perfect for any man cave, rec room or bar. A little different than our typical mower and engine videos, but informative none the less. And as always, There's Your Dinner!!

Well done with the restorations. Most people have no idea what Pachinko is. I lived in Japan from 1972 to 1973 which was my junior year in high school. I sat in a few parlors. I found a 1974 vintage Nishijin two years ago at a local place called the Scrap Exchange. You bet I bought it. It needs cleaning, but I have her working. I just found another a few days ago and plan to get it also. My wife thinks I'm crazy for getting it. When I make these kinds of purchases I tell her it's an "auto part". This excuse has worked well for some time.

Your greatest video iMHO. I was with a friend in Tokyo and we went into one of those Pachinko Parlors. 3 floors! Our machine had a small CRT screen in the centre (80's?) and was auto feed. We managed to get the jackpot opening set just right and had 7's going both ways on the screen. Lights were flashing, people looking, bells etc ringing and people were taking their balls and dumping them into our machine! 5 min of fame? At 10 or 10:30 PM, the lights flashed and every winner cashed in. We received a tiny token, I think it was a 1$ us gold coin with a hole in it. A kind lady directed us to the rear of the building where there was a small wooden building with a window covered in brown paper and a slot underneath. We put our token in the slot and a considerable amount of U$ came back. To circumvent gambling laws, 'someone' was purchasing the tokens people won. Memorable. Thanks. A fantastic resto job Taryl, many hundreds of hours of research, improvisation, thought and labour. Where's the cat?

[@gordbaker896]

@Zachery Dominguez It is a different culture over there. People help others in need with no thought of reward.

[@harrybachmann9815]

This brings back so many memories. My parents have a Pachinko machine that my Dad got out of an old bar. Many a rainy day I'd be in their basement playing it as a kid. This and an old pinball machine kept me busy for hours 😁

[@kaylajason8917]

I never knew these were big in the US. I been to Japan and every mall and corner store has these and dang do they love them and you can hear it like a block away.

[@Mark-nu5vg]

Pretty cool Taryl, I'm probably a little older than you and never heard of these machines

[@guyina4x499]

Very interesting look into the life and times of Taryl Dactyl. Thanks for sharing

[@Texoma_Mikes_Garage]

We lived in Okinawa when my parents bought me one in 1977. The ones we got were removed from pachinko parlors, reconditioned, and sold. All the machines there have a glass front like the one you have. The machine is in the attic above my mom's garage. Besides reviving old mowers, now Taryl has me wanting to go pull that machine out of the attic and dig into it. Love what you did with the lights and gorgeous woodwork! If I recall correctly, mine only has two weak incandescent lights. The JAL on the plane in the middle of the rapid loader is Japan Air Lines.😊

[@clydek3651]

Brings back the times I spend in the Pachinko Parlors in Okinawa. What good times, stay safe............

[@likearockcm]

All kidding aside, taryl did an excellent job restoring those machines !!!!!!

[@timetogodoug]

Thanks Taryl, stay safe and have a great week!

[@rverro8478]

Thanks Taryl for sharing one of your passion.

[@rdquelle]

Six weeks ago my mower wouldn't start. Now I know how to restore a Pachinko machine. I love this channel.

[@TotemoGaijin]

Wow, this is sick! I tried playing some pachinko when I did my study abroad in Japan, but I had absolutely no idea what I was doing, lol. Taryl really does fix all.

[@pdsrenos]

I had a pachinko game when I was a kid, my dad threw it away when I went in the Army. I got 2 more a few years ago at a local auction, I really enjoy playing with them. It is quite relaxing actually. Great Job with your restorations, you have inspired me to jazz mine up with lights!

[@dansw0rkshop]

I remember pocket versions of these from the late 70's into early 80's

[@terryanderson9936]

We had about ten of these machines in our house when I was a kid. My dad served in Japan I think the ones we had were from Japan and a little older no lights. Cool to see them. Your a cool dude

[@RobsWorldWV]

This opening skit, is the best so far. Really funny...

[@jz422]

I remember the TV adds for Pachinko machines from the mid 70's. Now that 60 waiting for me next winter I'm really appreciating mechanical games over the cool new stuff like Pong.

[@cmr2079]

I never knew this was a thing here in the US, but those machines look great. Nice work restoring them.

[@thomasreto2997]

Nice work!……I have to say, that’s pretty cool that you put that vintage age machine in a nice cabinet and the LEDS, the laminate, really make it a work of art. Like you, back in mid 70s, my dad got me a plastic little machine that I enjoyed. ….thanks for the contact information and tips on redoing these things. I might buy a rough one and follow your example. Thanks man!

[@lovetolearn5253]

They look amazing, awesome job.

[@jamesneidhardt]

Whoa! I got my first pachinko machine from my uncle almost 40 years ago. That one is long gone but I have two that need restoration. This post has me pumped up to get the better one up and running asap. Thank you! I was actually trying to find your video on adjusting governor on a Kohler engine and got sidetracked by this video

[@Pwaak]

Super workmanship on those machines Taryl! Ladies having fun, Junior keeping tabs, Ronnie out in the cold, Slippers just missing out...yep...operation healthy and well during crisis!

[@canman809]

Love your videos Taryl. I watch them over and over. You have gotten me through some rough times...Thanks.

[@adammosher5818]

While in quarantined got a lot of free time glad you are able to keep busy

[@jeffmartin9248]

Taryl you did a wonderful job redoing the game,,,,,

[@oldkicker8958]

Please make more videos! Can’t get enough!

[@bigbadbertie5186]

Wow great vid I've been to a parlor in Japan, can't hear yourself think, as soon as the door open and you go in it's deafening

[@jordankinsey811]

Good timing for a longer video. Thanks fellas

[@Jasonleal77]

Dude is next level.

[@rayjr62]

Taryl, awesome machine. I remember playing these as a kid back in the 1970s. Seeing this brings back all sorts of memories. Thanks for posting.

[@RobertWilliams-mk8pl]

Taryl you're a twisted dude, creative but twisted. I love this channel

[@lucasdog1]

Working as a handyman, I got into many houses and have been given many things that people no longer want. One such item was a perfectly good working pachinko machine. All the writing on it is in Japanese, and all the balls are engraved with a Japanese marking.

[@markjohnson7508]

Pachinko is art

[@censoredlove9069]

Dinner time

[@thomasedwards696]

Hey Great restorations on those Pachinco Machine's 👍. I would post a photo of my EARLY GINSEI 1950s Spring operated machine but I can't. Great video Taryl 👍

[@eathanmarkus6525]

My dad has a few these and I never new what they were now I watch your video and I want to get one of them running

[@4gauge10]

I remember seeing those in the Sears,Wards,J.C.Penny catalogs every year Tayrl.I never owned one,but it looks like alot of fun..

[@almowrey3463]

Never heard of Pachinko, would love to come to your parlor to play!!

[@nathanvangessel7007]

I like it because pachinko is my favorite

[@vlgrock8066]

Great job on your restorations 👍👍👍

[@riggs5849]

Brings back memories of playing these in Okinawa.

[@markmartin9577]

Nice work! I still have the machine my parents got me for Christmas from the Sears Wish Book in 1979 and I picked up another machine a few years ago from a thrift store. They've just been stored for quite a while and I've been planning to set them up and have been looking at different things about Pachinko online, which led me to your video. I really like what you did with the lighting and the cabinets. You gave me some good ideas that I think I'll put to use. Back in the day I had a typical household transformer from some no-longer-used electrical device and had the built in lights running with power from that and also wired in some standard Christmas lights to add more lighting. It was a crude version of what you've done with the LED lights. The LEDs give a much more dramatic effect, but I clearly had the same thought you did back then... not enough lights! Thanks for sharing your tips and showing us what you created.

[@yokomzare201]

watched this Vid early today. Got interested in these machines. I went and bought one to restore. Thanks much for sharing your fun.

[@stevesplace7230]

Thank heavens for all your posts. Otherwise I would be a total crazy man all cooped up during the covid!!!

[@richierich515O]

Hey Taryl 😎. Great video. Thanks for the time you put into your videos. I hope you and your family stay healthy and safe. I will be looking forward for the next video 🤙

[@8HumblePie]

Good Stuff! Nice Build! Funny story; My neighbor’s had a Pachinko in their basement rec. room. When they sold the house they also left the machine in the wall. The new owners remodeled the place they gave me the Pachinko machine for Free!

[@MrSpencers5]

we had a pachinko machine when my brothers and I were growing up. Our parents must have bought one in the late 60's or early 70's. wonder what ever happened to it. cool video and nice job on those machines!

[@jrobertsz71]

Not a lawn mower video? Well it is called Taryl Fixes ALL. Awesome video guys!

[@michaelglynn2638]

Great job restoring those machines, They're nice to see again. enjoyed that a lot. Thanks you guys, be safe👍

[@DAS-Videos]

How come I never knew about pachinko machines. I was around back then and had a Sears and a Two Guys, the two staple stores back then.

[@ZombieDaveAZ]

I never knew about pachinko machines. The only Pachinko I saw was on the Price is Right game show.. It all makes sense now somehow. Thanks for the education and the video. 👍

[@TheClampettmobile]

VERY COOL! I bought my one and only *(rapid loader) Pachinko machine in Sasebo, Japan in 1971. And yes, they all had GLASS fronts. Mine has NO lights, and the ash tray has a flap like panel at the bottom that is spring loaded with a little extension. Pull down on it and it dumps on the floor (or whatever happens to be in the way)... ha! No smokers in my house. Completely stock machine.

[@jimmyturner3763]

you got the talent Taryl, excellent job

[@MGB-learning]

Outstanding video. I have had a fixer-upper for years. After seeing your excellent video I have a lot of great ideas. Thank you from California.

[@MagicPachinko]

Love what you did to the machines! They look great! Glad I had a tray that fit your machine. MagicDan Magic Pachinko Restorations

[@blazeandcyrus]

I love that orange one!

[@laurajames8071]

One ball short of a coffee mug…poor guy…lol Dad brought one home from overseas when I was young and I loved the sound of the balls falling.

[@rdaw33]

Love them all, I only have one machine, thanks for the links for parts and info!!!!.....Love the skits!!!!!!

[@Tommyr]

It takes some balls to play those games. Stay safe boys!

[@codered2224]

I like your craftsmanship Teryl

[@RockymountainRobert]

I come back to these videos and still laugh 😅 you guys are great.

[@kane100574]

[@jaryljackderriere1232]

Excellent job on the restoration! Had to shut it down because people got seizures - LOL

[@waltercoy1269]

played in Japan when I was stationed there in 1969

[@harpoon_bakery162]

fascinating stuff here. i saw one of these as a kid , can't remember if it was service merchandise or what but i always wanted one, now I know where to get them!!! Woooooo Whooooo!!!! Couldn't remember the name for the life of me and a lawn mower repair brought me here. wth?

[@zman4150]

You did a fantastic job with the restores Taryl! It gives me the ambition to restore mine now. FYI - you can also find automatic reloaders for these, but the price isn't cheap!

[@phannagan1able]

Love your show. Make me laugh so hard!

[@savage22bolt32]

I love your smarts & creativity ☺️

[@scrotiemcbogerballs8286]

Excellent job buddy

[@dang2390]

[@jerrymatthews8968]

You did a great job on these machines, good video.

[@johnready630]

Great resto-mods Taryl , makes them more flashy and interesting . Don't recall these in Canada , some of our gambling laws likely stopped them from being sold here.

[@eianflanagan7767]

They are pretty cool. They are kind of like a vertical ski ball.

[@josephtaverna1287]

"And there's Your Winner!!"

[@bobblenuts]

I probably have 25 plus years on you Taryl & don't remember seeing these machines before. Maybe they are considered to be "illegal gambling devices" by the totalitarian government state where I live. I like your hobby & admire your efforts to share it with us.
