1946 Saida. Two different size jackpots

[MrAl]

Here is my latest machine. Talk about finicky and fine tuning. After a complete restore I figured hey time to play. Took four hours of tuning and adjusting to get this thing to pay all size jackpots reliably.

Really cool machine it pays 3 for a small jackpot and 10 for a large jackpot hence that Japanese writing:

アウト = out
小 = small
大 = large

It has a rather complicated system to provide the launch ball. You insert the ball in the hole and it rolls down a shoot and then hits a lever which swings a sea-saw that release another ball into the machine. The original ball you inserted than goes down into a ramp to await the small payout group.

If a ball scores a large jackpot it hits a system that pays out 7 then roll on to hit the 3 payout.

Originally thought I might have a pre-war, but alas no it is just a 1946er

Since you live in Denver too, you may stop over anytime since it would be about a 2 minute drive. I would tell you about the machines I am restoring now, but its a secret........
