It's a late 80's-early 90's Hanemono style machine (wing type) I can tell you that. Looks like the original vibrant pink colors are a bit faded which is common. I've got a similar one in the same frame for sale, a 1991 (I believe) Nishijin "Hit Parade" perhaps you need a second machine?

A Big Awards machine!

If you notice my little guy at the bottom you might have a clue where I got the inspiration.

Still have yet to actually own or play one of those machines yet though.

I think the little man carrying the balls is Mr Fall

It's a pachinko parlor themed machine how can you not love it?

Is it worth anything? Like would it be pointless to try to sell it?

Depends on if it works or not....have you tested it yet? Are there balls included or not? If it's broke, I personally wouldn't pay more than $20 for it, I'm selling mine for no less than $75 in perfect working condition, not getting any bites around here though so throwing it on CL and might ask $125 there so there's room for inevitable negotiations.

Well, if you're willing to go through the hassle/risk of shipping a 60lb machine you might get quite a bit more on ebay if someone "has to have it" or starts a bidding war....but most high reserve machines on ebay sit around for weeks or months (or years such as this one in the same frame as yours....lots of people think they are sitting on a gold mine or just fishing for a sucker... http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-ARCADE-JAPANES-PACHINCO-NISHINIJIN-HIGH-PERFORMANCE-MACHINE-293079-/281037387455?hash=item416f2236bf:m:m4xh15M_oYopIpE_Z8WOEpA)
