Oldie but Goodie

I brought back a BUNCH of pictures form my sister Lisa's on her Pachi's. This is the oldest one she acquired.

I have never seen a "Single" Shot before. You have to load the Sphere's by hand into the hole above the shooter lever. It's in rough shape but I can be restored.

It looks like all the parts are on the backside with exception of the wiring for the very few light bulbs. The top ball feed tray is hand formed from metal.

Anyone out there have an idea how old it is?

I have more pictures of the back of the machine.

looks like a wonderful machine

I have that exact design...the only difference is the color of the cell, and mine only has one bell. Tricky design in the back, but I have found that if you keep it clean and level, it works fine.

the one bad thing about the design is that if someone putes 3 balls in at once, I need to open the door to get them out. they are too heavy to get to the top.

Don't you just love the credit feature?

I love the simplicity of that design... very cool!

Very nice, I've seen that seen design/model come up on ebay a few times over the years!!

Well, that photo of the front tray looks like the back side of a 1960 Chevy, so maybe it's a 1960 model

Funny you would say that.

It does have "1960" on one of the stickers but I don't think thats a year built #.

The machine, no doubt. I think you might be a little too far gone, though!

the back of that looks like the first one I got the Shinko. It did't have lights but I wired some in.
