Mahuron Frog

[johnnykaye]

My first Mahuron. I've lost track of my acquisitions, but I think this is number nine. My brother actually found this one at an outdoor flea market that we frequent. He's only familiar with Pachinko machines as far as what I bring home, so many thanks to him for finding such an elusive (as far as my own finds) machine. The original feeder tray is missing and has been replaced with the lost ball bin. I haven't done much with this one besides some quick research and some photos. It will most likely stay in the storage room for a while until I can find a feeder tray and some time to clean it.

Nice find!

Interesting idea of using the catch bin as the feed tray. I wouldn't have thought it fit up there.

looks like your missing the track cover as well but there easy to fabricate if needed

nice find

I have seen them mad from a breadpan before! Homemade upper ball tray 2.0 I once modified a Nishijn tray (most common) for a Maruhon. 2 new vintages! - Page 2 Starting at post #24

Yes, the track cover is missing.

It is a beauty. Maruhon machines are always so bold, don't really know how to describe it other than that but I love em'. Nice job!

They certainly stand out with the feeder and overflow tray style.

I lived in Orlando for a few years... wondering what part of Florida you're in?

Not too difficult to tell that I like that center feature too...

That is one beautiful machine. Quite an amazing job with the restoration!
