Hello from PA!

[T1T2GRE]

Just joined the forum. My uncle was recently visiting from New York and handed over his machine. I remember playing it as a kid - loved the colors and the sound! Good stuff. It's a Sankyo and it says "239-4" on the back. I think I need to get the electrics powered up, but it should be operational. Going to head over the Museum area and try to get edumucated about it. I'm really psyched it's been handed over to me and I'd like to restore it as best as I can.

I'd like to make a cabinet or frame for it, but it already came with some wood "feet" to keep it upright.

Nice looking sankyo. Build year should be 1973-74. Here are some other examples of your machine. 1973 Concorde - VP0238 - a set on Flickr
1974 Golden Finger - VP0028 - a set on Flickr

It is typical to see different backgrounds with different center features.

If you have any question feel free to ask. And once again welcome to PT.
