Anyone happen to know how to read these? Is this photo good enough. It's for sale locally

Nice looking machine!! I cannot tell the date from the sticke though. I am sure somone will be able to help.

Don't think that sticker has the date on it. It may be on another sticker of could be on a vertically oriented sticker inside the frame. For that you'd have to see the machine in person. The number will be something in the 50's followed by a dash or period and another number. That signifies the Japanese year and month.

Hmm.

I can't read any #'s there. If you get a better pic of that sticker (use a macro mode) you might be able to find the #.

But based on my guess this machine is probably 75 - 76.

that one you show ain't a 78 so it is probably a few years older.

Yeah, the date isn't on that sticker.
I think its the registration as a refurbished machine.
It's registered with Nikkoso, an association of pachinko machine makers (AKA Nippon Yugiki Kogyo Kumiai).
