    Cool Anyone seen these WIN pockets?

    I think these are yellow bells; but they could be bombs? Which is just wrong...

    Thats a really cool vintage. Never seen those side pockets before. Looks like bells to me.

    I just repaired a machine identical to that one! They looked like bells to me, so I called it "Five Bells". It was a tough machine to win on, as I recall, once all of the bell pockets rotate closed.

    Funny how they seem to always pop up in 2's or 3's.

    Bells? Huh. I was thinking gold fish. You know, the pachinko game that smiles back?

    I vote for bells. Very cool machine! I have never seen those before. Can you see the mechanism that operates them? And I think I speak for us all when I say..."We want to see pics of the back!"

    I thought they looked familiar. We have recently seen one of these machines on here. And I think it is safe to call them bells. (calling them bombs might turn off people for your auction)

    100 machines and counting...

    Interesting experiment by Nishijin in 1974. They seemed to be trying all sorts of wild stuff that year, including the powerflash.

    I had just assumed they were yellow submarines similar in 60's animation style to the 1968 classic movie.
