    Default Dating Vintage Pachinko Machine

    Hello! I’m trying to find out the approximate date when my PM was made. I bought it years ago from a gentleman who served in the war and brought it home with him. It is in good condition, works and still plays. If I can date it, I can find it’s value easier. I cannot find pictures of it online so I’m coming to y’all. Any help is appreciated! Sorry it is a little dusty, I’m fixing to clean it.

    Q I always assumed you add 25 to the number on bottom sticker to get the age of machine
    so 52= 1977
    but if this translation is correct does that mean it expires in 1977?
    I also think the machines were only certified for 3 years
    Would that mean a machine marked 52 may have actually been made in 1974

    I think people here often subtract 2 years, but I'm not sure the real period for vintages, 2 or 3 years??
