Help with manufacture dates on a few machines

[Card Shark]

I was hoping some could help me with approximate manufacture dates on a few machines.

Sankyo Tako Yaki Hanemono

Nishjin Thunderbird Power Flash

No dates are showing over at Pachimono for either of the 2 Hanemonos

I think member Alphaminor has a Sankyo Casino 2, it's listed over in the Modern Pachinko Database thread, but no date is showing,



perhaps you could post the 2 Hanemonos in the Modern Pachinko section, and members with those models may see it and reply

The power flash machines are build year of 1974.

WOW...that last machine is a looker! Man...where do you keep all these? My wife just rolled over in bed last night and said, "NO MORE PACHINKO MACHINES!" Don't tell her I'm going to pick up another one today! LOL!

I had tried Pachimono as well. Since I now have the date of the Power Flash, could a Moderator move this to the Modern section. I would be happy to start a new thread but feel like I would be double posting.

I have been very blessed with some of the machines I have found. My wife has been very understanding as well.

I just remind my wife that there a lot of worse addictions out there

I moved it with a permanent redirect, so it should stay accessible from both forums for you

there are a hell of a lot more collections that cost way more then pachinko.. and if the kids love them then its a family hobby and a family collection..

ask her if it would be better to start collecting gold coins???

I was never able to confirm the specific year (didn't really try too hard at the time)
but my Fever Girl machine is in the same frame and was released in 1993,

also got a few machines in, what I'm fairly certain are, Sankyo's previous frame style that date around the end of the 80's,(Rolling Machine,Broadway,etc...)
so I'm thinking Casino 2 is a very early 90's release (early to mid 90's with Tako Yaki,which I love and want BTW )

Bet Candyflip would know a lot more about the release dates of these Stellar 2000 frames

I was hoping that too, but I looked over at Pachimono and no dates were showing there for either of those 2 hanemonos

So perhaps it's a bit of a grey area?

Found the 2 on mansai777 but they don't show dates Might help the search

But Casino 2 is カジノⅡ

Takoyaki is タコヤキSP

[alphaminor]

After scanning pachimono a bit for the 2000 frames, it appears most, if not all of them, are from the early to mid 90's
with the Red version frame appearing more often in the early period,and the funky Green/Orange version appearing more often in the mid 90's,

here is a side by side comparison of the two styles

Wonder where Candyflip has been?

[mxfaiman]

CS. Worth a shot I'm not sure if you will find it. But flip the machine around. Unhinge the back mechanics and look towards the lower portion. I found the date tag on my deji-pachi there.

I will give that a try on my Takoyaki. The Casino 2 now belongs to another member, I was just asking on that one out of curiosity.

[Card Shark]

Obi Wan Candyflip may be my only hope.

Hello mate.

I'm only guessing, but I'd say around '92-95 for both of them, as that was around the time I was in Japan and I seem to remember both while there.

If you really need exact dates, I'll do some more searching, but not easy to find the info on 20 year old machines...

[Card Shark]

I appreciate the insight. The dates on the machines are certainly not a necessity. Just my own curiosity.
