    Vintage Taiyo Electron

    Not sure what to make of this machine. The description says that it uses tokens not balls. It must be designed to be cyclic and sealed so that the user is unable to come in contact with the balls. It is a shame that it is not in better conditons. It would have been a cool machine to own.

    I am watching this one as well. it uses balls but the coins 'rent' the balls and it pays back in coins?? It would need serious work in order to get this one functioning properly. It might not be legal in several states.

    The shipping cost would make the over all price to high.

    Had my eye on that but it looked like it was missing too many parts! It would be another nice different machine to have!
