    Default Sankyo front overflow

    I picked this up over the weekend. No date but I am guessing early 70's.

    Nice machine!! That is probably one of the earliest model Sankyo machines I have seen. Does it have metallic fleck on the play field, or is the light just hitting it funny?

    I just noticed that now that you mentioned that. That is really odd.

    Either way it is a way cool sankyo. Also looks to be in pretty good shape.

    Way cool! A metal flake cell! That really makes up for the boring solid green.

    I was going to post up another 'hey looky what I found' thread but then I found this one here and figured I could just recycle it. It isn't very often that one sees the exact same machine but that's what turned up here anyway.

    Very cool. I have seen silver and gold accents on playfields that were slightly metallic but this appears to be really overboard. Anyway, The machine is probably a 1970-1971 model since it was not until 1970 that they were allowed to even make successive shots since the ban went into effect in 1953.

    I know I'm not the first to wonder what is rattling around in there. They did use actual pachinko balls inside the seesaw.

    Neat looking ones with blue paint in the engravings.

    Odd those ones are engraved. Usually they buy unengraved balls to put in there.
