I like this model. it's better made and more reliable than sanyo's of that era (more metal, less plastic in the mechanisms). mine was that the one on ebay that "needed a parlor cabinet", and was pretty clean and playable right out of the box, complete with the pachinko palace paperwork, balls and "official" tray.

Interestngly enough, I'm NOT a fan of this model. I have one, and the metal trays en up losing their luster and become dull and the plastic and metal tulips seem to be an overall more inferior and fragile product than the Nishijins of the same time period.

Of course, we all have our reasons...
