Sanyo "Three Oceans" Comet II- my first Vintage Pachinko Machine

[CarlW]

Special thanks go out to Moparformances, Drunkenclam, JACKSJE4, pinball wizard for helping me diagnose and repair this machine.

Here are some pictures... and some of the modifications I have done...

If anyone can date this machine; of course, I would appreciate it, but mostly just wanted to show it... what attracted me to it was the colors!!!

Here is the "feeder tray cover" I fashioned out of balsa wood, epoxy and Plaskolite...

And here is a battery connected to the top two pins fashioned out of crimp on connectors and a 9v battery clip...

And here are some pictures of a sticker, not sure what it means but perhaps is a clue to the date this was made?

Thats y were hear

as for a date it is located in your last picture but its a bit blurry to read... there should be a number in thre somwhere around 52 or 53 something like that... Add 25 to that number and that is the year of expiration... take one or usualy 2 years off that number for estamated production date
