Another customized Dale Earnhardt, Looney Tunes Machine

[rogerpjr]

I recently bought my first machine from a guy and was able to pick it up locally and save shipping costs. Can anyone ID the base machine? The picture at the top has an angry gorilla on the left and a cobra on the right. There is the word "Rodeo" at the top of something that looks like a pyramid of sorts. There is an LED screen to the right of the reels and under the reels is a title? "The Survival World". I'd really like to find out what the different switches on the power supply do besides the main power and reset switches (one's just like and to the left of the main with Japanese writing and the other is a round momentary button). Also, the buttons that say "1 bet" and "2 bet" don't seem to do anything. Any help on this machine would be most appreciated.

That machine is called Yajou and is made by Rodeo. It is a max bet model meaning that it will only work on three coins.
It is not in the museum as of yet, but I am sure after Tulsa or David R read this thread it will appear.
As to the extra switches on the power supply, usually if they are in the on position it will cause all your credited coins to eject and the machine will require a reset to continue playing.

I dont think it was the pictures he was selling, it was probably his feedback. He had got a few bad ones lately and im sure some of them threw a fit at ebay!

Thanks for the picture link and info. I went right to the seller's house to pick the machine up as he lives about 10 miles from my house. He didn't appear to be the most congenial person I've met, but I also just met him. He took me and my wife into the garage to see other machines he had for sale. He had about 200, some still on pallets. He is asking pretty high prices on them, for example, he wanted $350 for an Azteca Returns machine. His shipping on ebay was pretty high, but I think it is because we live in a fairly rural area and it probably costs more to ship from there. I figured I did okay on the price since I wasn't going to pay any shipping.

I haven't been able to do anything on the machine but feed it tokens. Within ten trys on it, my wife got into the Big Bonus round and we quickly ran out of tokens and finally had to just reset it because we got tired of putting tokens back into the hopper only to have her empty it again with a few plays. It definitely will need to have a volume control installed.
