    Nishijin brand machines are the Bally of Pachinko's simply the best. The one on the left in the OP'S post is a Nishijin. Their older generation machines (older than the OP'S had a very good auto refill system.

    Too bad the Chicagoland branch of The Pachinko Factory is gone. On Milwaukee Ave. Just North of Dempster in Niles. They had skids of used machines shipped in and restored them on-site. It was a neat place.

    Quoted from Otaku:

    Before I could afford pinball machines I thought of taking the $30 CL Pachinko machine as a fix. Asked online if it plugged into the wall, they said for a few little lights.
    Having little to no electronics in the equation wouldn't be as cool for me. Glad I passed on it. On the other hand, I was sad when I figured out EMs don't have attract mode and I was set to buy one, but I got over that and now love EMs and collect them almost primarily. I have come to appreciate the lack of an attract mode on these games and still love them on the newer machines, of course.

    Flasher lamps are the attract mode.

    Quoted from cait001:

    Cool look, refined pin layout.
    Does that have a digital score counter in the bottom left rectangle there?
    I really want one that also keeps score so it can be played more as a discrete game.

    That is a window that shows you the 14 prize payout balls for the next ball you land in a scoring hole. That's an easy way to determine a "recycling" type of machine from the front.
