    Default Three Star Excel

    I was looking for a donor machine but came home with this one today!
    Its dirty but in a pretty nice shape. Engraving in the chrome door, marbled trays, cool logo's.
    Hard to find any info on this one, is there someone out there how can tell me more, like build year etc?
    Many thanks in advance.

    Hi there, and welcome! This site has tons of information that has been "stickied" at the top of the Vintage Pachinko page. Here is a link to it. Another great resource is the Vintage Pachinko website with great galleries and information. Your pictures don't show the expiration stickers well enough to give you a good answer on year.
    Once again, Welcome!

    Way cool find.

    I haven't seen a 3 star like that. Especially with the marbled tray and engraved panel. Doesn't mean its worth more but it is cooler.

    Build year should be 1976.

    Three Star was a small brand and they used parts from many other companies. That is why if the back looks similar to a Mizuho, it is because it is. The same probably goes for the front panel as Mizuho did a lot of engraved front panels.

    100 machines and counting...
