I bought one at a flea market for $50 yesterday. I know zip about Pachinko but I love the artwork and am trying to determine the manufacturer and the time period that it was produced. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

photos may help, there is a 2mb size limit, so you may need to make pics smaller before uploading

Re: Pachinko machines with the Apollo rocket on the game board
Neat!
The manufacturer name should be somewhere on the bottom front (red). The year the machine was in service (either the year of or a year after manufacture) is on the stickers on the lower right corner of the playfield (green):

Just remember that the year will most likely be during the Showa period, so add 1925 to the larger two digit number you see on the certification date sticker. As an example, here’s one from one of my machines:

The year is Showa 49, so add 1925 and you get 1974.

Thank you !
There is writing on the bottom left of the machine. It says EX-100 and to the left of that, underneath the 'coat of arms' graphic, are 7 characters that I'm unfamiliar with.
Could be just fun gibberish, for all I know.
When I saw those alien/martian/space people and the Apollo rocket, I knew I had to have this!

Can you get a clear picture of the CoA & the 7 characters?Originally Posted by valier60
If I were more familiar with less common machines I'd be able to identify it on sight, but I'm a n00b.

Yarrp. That's a National (ナショナル - "Nashonaru").

Unfortunately, I know bugger-all about them, other than they're not as common as Nishijins or Sankyos.
If you can get a legible close-up of the stickers on the lower-right corner of the playfield, I can get you a probable year of manufacture. That might give you enough info to find out more, if your Google-fu is strong.

"Google-fu" LOL!

Re: Pachinko machines with the Apollo rocket on the game board
Would you agree that the Showa is 51 and that this is a 1976 machine?
Re: Pachinko machines with the Apollo rocket on the game board
You got it.
The certification is for Showa 51 (down at the bottom), so 1976.
