Vintage 1970s Sanyo COMET - II Pachinko Machine W/ Grail Piece BOX

Relisted as the last buyer did not pay. Beautiful Vintage 1970s Sanyo COMET-II Pachinko Machine w/ Grail Piece BOX!! Condition is "Used" and not ready for operation yet.  From a local collection, this is untested. in overall good shape, but as you can see there likely needs some minor wiring work done.  I also doubt the string pull on the side is original, but my familiarity with pachinko is severely limited- I know it more as a work of art than the machine itself.  Come...s with 250 original pachinko balls. it does not have the key but the door can open.  As shown, it does not have the loading tray.the part that is most interesting is the box-an impossible to find piece of Pachinko history.  I've been offered more for the box than the machine, as it's unheard of to find.  These were imported and refurbished by a company out of LA, Pachinko Imports Ltd.  I believe in the early 80s, they were sold through JC Penney, possibly catalog only but this does have a price sticker on it.  The original box created for the US shipping and sale had full graphics.  Shipping will have the box wrapped in another layer of corrugated and shipped.  For a comparison: the empty box for the large USS Flagg GI Joe playset from the same era is $1k... and there are hundreds of those around... people don't keep large boxes-it's unlikely you'll ever find this again.Please ask for any pictures you would like or ask any additional questions I can answer to help you before your purchase.
