    Default Is this the first generation Sankyo "Fever" machine?

    I just picked this early modern Sankyo "Fever" machine and know it has to be one of the earliest models, but is it the first generation? The reels are not wired for light and the frame matches some other Sankyos that I know are from the 80's
    Also it has Three start pockets instead of just the usual one under the CF

    Perfectly! Found it on CL,The seller bought it himself from republic industries
    Turns out he is a collector of vintage pinball machines and had no less than thirty in his garage, so he really knew how to take care of it

    A couple of things for you:

    フィーバーゴールド* - YouTube

    JAC-IN have this cell for sale : 45,000 yen

    http://www.jac-in.info/pachinko-sankyo.html

    And here's the date confirmed : 1987

    37 フィーバーゴールド*の画像 | パチンコ進化論

    early, but not '1st gen' - that would be 1980.

    Great machine!!

    There is always another machine around the corner...

    It's a Fever Gold I (フィーバーゴールドⅠ) pachinko machine from 1987.

    Your game board unit was manufactured in May 1987.
    Your cabinet was manufactured in July 1986.

    The first time Sankyo used their trade word fever for the name of a digipachi pachinko was the machine "Fever" in July 1980.

    Thanks for the spot on information guys!
    Now it all makes sense, it felt...not quite old enough to be first gen (but nice to know it's close)

    here's a video I made that shows more of the cell,(should it be Fever Gold, or Gold Fever?) I named it before your post pachi sloter but will change accordingly,



    Also, wonder if this machine was the inspiration for the western themed Fever Wanted machine, released much later by Sankyo,which features several similar symbols on the reels (cactus,sheriffs badges, etc)

    changed the name to Fever Gold I (no need to rearrange the words when all the other Sankyo's are listed with Fever first)
