    Judging from the expiration tag, it is a 1976 machine. You should be able to find a small "52" on the bottom of the tag. The make is clearly a Heiwa, one of the longest running manufacturers of pachinko machines. "Heiwa" is Japanese for "peace". The quality of construction of these machines tends to be a little better than the average machine. Nice candidate for restoration, looks like it might clean up nicely.

    Thank you, there is a 52 and a 12 on the bottom of the tag and 249 at the top. Also a sticker on the back with a 2 on it, no text in English anywhere though, except for "custom". This was a gift but I don't even know where to start or what the value is.

    Nice Pachi!!! I had a Heiwa for awhile, it still worked well even when it was in bad shape. Welcome to Pachitalk. There are a lot of threads on cleaning and restoring, and I'd recommend you read a few so you don't hit any pitfalls.

    yes and Heiwa is still making machines to this day.

    Can you post some pictures of the back please. The front says a lot but the pictures of the back kinda tell the whole story. It lets us tell you the model type, what is missing, what is broken, and what is just in the wrong position. back pictures also give us a general view of the machine so we could give you a better estimate on value. but we can't give you exact vaule because it depends on location and demand.

    Also to pachitalk, remember to visit frequently and post often.

    100 machines and counting...
