    Default Maker I'm not familiar with.

    Is anybody familiar with this manufacturer? I can't even clearly make out the name. I wish there were more info including a picture of the back. If I call then I have to commit to something, I'd rather find out what I can before I do. Thanks.

    I have seen a few of those.

    Different backs too.

    My favorite is all dark green back.

    My opinion is that Okumura Yuki (spelling!) was a designer for more than one manufacturer...

    Thanks. That gives me something to work with. My concern is that it probably won't be easy to find parts if it doesn't work. At the same time it's a good price and I hate to pass it up.

    I have one Okumura Yuki, aside from my first machine (which was my Dad's back in the 70's) it's my favorite as it's one of the most vibrant and colorful in my collection. Mine is all green on the back as well.

    Oh neat. A Green Okumara Ykui - Manako. Looks like the ashtray is gone. Good luck ever finding another one of those. The actual brand name for these machines is kinda hard to figure out. As each machine is branded either Okumara Yuki or Monako. It seems like they used a different name depending on the quality of the model maybe.

    Here is a picture of my Okumara Yuki franken-pachi.

    Don't let it fool you. The entire playfield (including the backer) is from a Sankyo. Though the whole front face and mechanics are still the regular Okumara Yuki ones. (with some minor mods here and there.)


    Edit: I see the ashtray in the ad. It is flipped over.

    100 machines and counting...
