How old is this machine?
I know people have some facts and guidelines to help determine the age of a machine. I know that its at least from the 60's. The Nishijin sticker on the front has a silver seal that has japanese characters, then 239, then another character, then a 2 if that means anything. Any knowledge would be appreciated.

early to mid 70's closeup of sticker please. if you look on the tax sticker you'll see a small date listing(probably a number like 53 or maybe 54) that is the expiration dat of the permit. add that # to 1925(start date of Hirohito's reign) then subtract 18 months to 3 years(depending on who's opinion you follow) and this will give you the appox date of manufacture.

I always thought that the Nishijin A models were typically late 1960's...and the B models were typically early to late 1970's.
However, I've never owned an A model...
I'm not addicted to Pachinkos. I can quit at any time. Did I tell you about the three machines that I have on the way?
