Information on 1978 ? Sankyo?

[NeoJAF]

Hello all! I recently snagged a table at a rummage sale and I don't know anything about it! I cleared some ball jams, rebuilt the lighting harness (I only found two scoring lamps and a tray empty light) and wired it to run on 9v. It operates fine (from what I can tell). From the best I can tell, the stamp shows imperial year 54, month 6, so i'd guess it to be a 1978 table? I haven't been able to find any pictures of a Sankyo table with this field image or the same scoring setup.

78 seems correct. Funky playfield layout. I haven't seen anything like that either.

Very Interesting, no center feature, what's the payout, 10 - 13 - 15?

[NeoJAF]

Payout is 10 balls.

It's a neat table with 11 scoring pockets. The 3 lotuses, the orange pockets and the top (clock) pocket will each open a hippo (and the lotuses also open themselves). The three black pockets just score.

Can't get a picture right now, but check out my first and only post. I just got and cleaned up a 78 Sankyo. Very similar! I just ordered some balls to see how it works.
