neither are in the museum so if any body can identify the maker of Miracle id appreciate it.

Any brand name printed on any of the internal parts?
Any date codes stamped on the molded plastic parts? These are less than 1 inch in diameter.

Very slick!
That Super Winkle sounds rude, doesn't it?

there may be a metal sticker on the back or inside the case.

they look like they are from the 90"s.

I was thinking the same thing, but I keep hearing that this is a family site.

I think the Miracle is a 岡崎産業 (Okazaki industry).

Couldn't tell you the year but here's one with the same name and from things I've read this is the newer version of an older one they made:

Try a close up picture of the lower corners of the belly glass (tax/serial # stamps)

all of the boards have a jp part number on them the winkle had ol on all its boards . by the way i fixed the 4th and more than half way to fixing the 5th.
the miracle machines are the pain in the butts the olympia machines were a piece of cake and have built in token in and out counter (resettable at that)...The winkles are loud if thats what you mean but the sound effects are ok for its time (todays macines have music ) .

[alstonj1]

looks like the same case as the super winkle ..... is it made by Olympia ?

[Chris V]

Nope. I believe it is made by some company (that I can't recall right now) that eventually became NET.
