Done with 1978 Sankyo Center Tulips Machine

[cardwwi]

This is a vintage 1978 Sankyo Pachinko Machine. This machine is known as “Center Tulips” as there are two main attractions and a column of tulips down the center. The background is the “Ribbon” which provides a very colorful playfield. Playing action on this machine: when a ball enters the top tulip, it opens the top tulip and the second tulip. When a ball enters the open top tulip, it will close. When a ball enters the second open tulip, it will close and open the third tulip just below it. When a ball enters the third open tulip, it will close and open the fourth tulip just below it, this is a pocket tulip (this tulip performance is when a ball enters the top pocket of this tulip, it will open it and it will stay open as long as the balls enter thru the top pocket of this tulip and will only close when a ball enters on one of the open leaves of the tulip). When the ball passes thru the far right or far left side of one of the main attraction, it will open the tulip below it. When the ball passes thru the center right or center left side of one of the main attractions, it will open the right or left side of that main attraction and the tulip below it. Jackpot pay out on this machine is 10 balls. This machine has five tulips, one pocket tulip, two pay pockets, 4 spinners and two 6-pocket main attractions.

Wow you're really cranking them out. That's an unusual one, the first one I've noticed with side by side center features!
