Need Help Identifying Machines
Hello all! I'm new to the forums, and I'm wasn't sure where to post this. I apologize in advance if I got it wrong!
So this past weekend, I got bit by the "Pachinko Bug!" My hobby is collecting classic arcade equipment, and while doing one of my weekly Craigslist searches, a Pachinko Machine popped up in the results. The price seemed reasonable too. So a few emails later, I purchased said machine. I was definitely intrigued with my prize, so much so that I decided to do a dedicated search for Pachinkos the next day. The results landed the only two in my area squarely in my lap, which later ended up in my possession! So in all, I purchased 3 machines in a weekend.
Now, I've spent some time trying to research these machines, and the results have been hit or miss. After discovering these forums, I thought I'd ask the experts for help! I'd like to possibly identify the makes/models of these machines, or more specifically, the names of the attractions/playfields of each. Here's what I have:
the first machine I got and started all this has Kyoraku Pro on the front. It's an 80s model machine from what I understand, and has an LCD roulette wheel in its center. There's a door at the bottom of the field that opens when you land 3 in a row. The playfield is an island theme.

Next up has Sankyo plastered all over it. The scene is a Hanabi Festival, complete with a temple and two guys in tradition robes in the center along with an oddly shaped rotating stage. When you activate the center, the lights flash like crazy, the guys dance, and you can drain the ball hopper quickly!

The third one I got is a '77 Nishijin Super Deluxe, so I won't post pics of it here.
So there you have it. Any info on dates, names, ect. would be really helpful. I can post more pics if you need them. Thank you very much!!!
