"Aqua" kenrimono made by Takao

[alphaminor]

I came across this kenrimono locally and had never heard of the maker and then found pics of two alternate background versions on pachimono.com,but not this one! They didnt make many other machines at all

the movement of the slot numbers is really cool, want to make a movie showing it in action!
There is a lower motor currently not working that runs some paddle wheels that work in conjunction with the payout mech,
I found a way to power it using my sankyo Casino 2 motor that has an almost identical payout setup,so at least its completely working!(the motor itself works fine)
I will post a thread in the technical support area about this problem (should be an easy fix)

not sure if Aqua is its actual name but it works for the moment

Hi mate - that's Takao's 'Continue' kenri !! 高尾 (コンティニュー) This katakana for the name is on the back of the machine (in white) and on the front, bottom left.

My god you have a keen eye!!

The machine would have been marketed as Aqua (アクア).

Continue (コンティニュー), Museigen (無制限), Aqua (アクア), and Lucky Number (ラッキーナンバー) are all the same thing.

Thanks for the info and especially thanks for the link, that other machine has the exact same problem as mine ,down to the hopper light staying on.
That will save quite a bit of typing (I'll hijack that thread since is was never resolved)
also found the pocket sequence required to advance on the machine through a post there.

here it is:

currently taking more pics and making that video

Turns out the issues I had with the motor and light were a result of a ball jam,
briefly explained solving it in this thread here :

Older Takao, need help identifying year and name

So at this point it work perfectly!
I was so happy I finally took the time to record a jackpot,took a while to get it, but here it is



Also, got some newer pics for you candyflip and will post as soon as I resize them
