A sticker for The Pachinko Factory located amidst a pachinko machine mechanism.

Who the heck looks at the back of mechanical devices? Well, I certainly do.

Imagine my glee when I spotted this incredible logo for The Pachinko Factory, a business in Calgary, Alberta, that reconditioned and distributed authentic Japanese pachinko machines between 1976 and 1983.

This machine originally belonged to my daughter-in-law’s grandfather and was likely purchased in the late 1970s.

The customization of what I assume to be Letraset’s version of Aldo Novarese’s Stop is delightful … especially the scattering of little pachinko balls as design elements.
