    Default Heiwa - Water Wheel

    Picked this up locally today. First vintage EVER that worked properly upon getting it home!

    Heiwa makes some wonderful backgrounds, and I think I'd like to get this one reproduced.

    Came with a lost ball bin that has the one leg on the corner. So cool!

    Needs a good cleaning, but don't they all? Enjoy!

    Close up pictures of the center please. Never seen a feature like that, and it looks pretty darn cool.

    Nice find.

    Okay,

    IMG_1287a.jpg

    The owl up top is on a spring, with a hole behind. A ball entering this hole opens the bottom center pocket.
    A ball going into either the right or left hole in the top of the center feature will open the left, bottom center, and right pockets.
    A ball going into the top center hole will spin the water wheel, make the frog jump, and open the two pockets directly below.

    Took some Tamiya clear paints and touched up the center feature. I think it turned out pretty well.

    The ball bin turned out to be a corner strainer/colander with 2 of the legs chopped off. Mystery solved.
