    Default Help identifying a machine

    I picked this machine up a while ago. All the markings on the playfield say Marukosi, but the ball loader faceplate says Kyoraku. The machine has no lights and I believe the plastics are bakelite. No dates on the stamps. It does have a single orange tulip so I am guessing 66-69? Any of you more experienced members care to hazard a guess or better yet some facts?

    Looks like someone splattered a coke on the front of it and definitely needs a lot of elbow grease to make it presentable. Was missing a track cover, but that was easily remedied with cardwwi's generic track cover from his website.

    Thanks for your help.

    I don't know anything about it...but I do like it! I love the old single shot machines. I like how the tulips LOOK old. They have a certain "charm" that is lost on the mass produced ones. This also makes them harder to replace if they are damaged! It does have plastic (of some sort) on the back, but mostly tin. It will clean up nicely...whatever year it is!

    I would wager to say 66-67. Never heard of the brand before.

    100 machines and counting...
