Fourth Machine, First Sankyo

[TheRaz]

Hey all!

Picked up my fourth machine at a local flea market the other day. I'm still a bit flabbergasted. It's a '77-'78 and it's in relatively perfect condition. No moisture penetration at the nails, nothing broken, no track covers missing. It's just dirty, and not very dirty at that. I think it it may be missing a cover on the lower right side on the back, but I'm not sure if it's supposed to have one there or not, so any thoughts are appreciated there. It has no lights or wiring on it, but I know that's common, so I'll need to kit it out. I'm a huge fan of the swing-away design for the parts on the back. Center feature is a clown? Or an animal(fox?) with moving ears? Not 100% sure. It's the only part that is really faded, so I may try my hand at restoring the paint job.

Picked it up for about $28, so I feel like I got a good deal.

Thanks for looking!

Looks pretty decent.

There is a cover missing in the lower right on the back. However, doesn't change how anything functions. That machine will be fairly easy to clean up, especially with the quick remove back. If you turn the white knobs on the back the whole thing should just pull off.

Very nice, should clean up nicely. Just don't pull the nails, most likely formica cell, thats why no water staining.
