    Nice looking Single Shot.

    Build year is hard to say. I know they produced this model for about 5 years (I think). The only variation between years is the color of the plastics used on the front.

    I know that build year 63 had red plastic. I think after that was blue build year 64. And then the white which is about 65-66. So I would say build year 65. Which is about the same as my nishijin single shot. my never ending collection of machines - Page 3

    In the late 60's they started to produce more than one variation of machine. So not uncommon to see 2 different types of ss from the same year.

    Anyways cool machine. Though the big C background isn't calling me. One of my less favorite backgrounds.

    The feet look interesting what are they made of? and can I see a better pic?

    100 machines and counting...

    I can't find the thread...but Rival knows the last year of the metal tray.model A single ball 001.jpg I think, 1964, or '65. Plastic, like all others I've ever seen. I've only seen about 4 that weren't plastic! You also have 2 tulips...making me believe it is late 60's. My guess about 1967.
