1960
Re: post your new acquisitions here
given the slight variations of the nails (for example the top 6 nails are a gradual arc, not a flat line) I would initially say 1950s. But the vibrancy of the spinners and pockets makes me think later, definitely closer to 1960.
Do you have a specific reason for that, or just an educated guess?Originally Posted by Silverballs
I'm wavering from 1957-1961 based on my lay knowledge.
I don't know if All-10 machines were made in 1960

Re: post your new acquisitions here
My guess is early 50’s, 52-53 maybe if it were mid fifties or later, there’s usually more plastic parts. Also hand painted pockets which means likely earlier model. Looks older than my 57’ Misono, my 2 cents.

Re: post your new acquisitions here
yeah after sleeping on it I think we're looking at much closer to 1950 than 1960. I am probably mistaken about the rear mechanism age. I should ignore that and go for the obvious clues: 10 ball payout, nail variations, older-style ball plate, etc

Taiyo Elec Mah Jong in Maturi frame... 2015 or 2016?
On a short break in Maine and decided to see what is out there; lucky for a friendly electrician in nearby NH was looking to move on to their next project. 1 hr drive for pickup.

I just bought this at a yard sale. I see big chance and oriental on it. Any info would be helpful.
Thanks
Re: post your new acquisitions here
It looks to be an Oriental 2 by Universal and came out in Nov 1993!!
If you use the Japanese name on Google and stuff you and find videos and stuff!!

Picked up a Woody Woodpecker ST3 over the weekend. by Maruhon 2004. One hour drive.
A bit dusty and the bottom of the frame needed replacing. Small crack in the red plastic (maybe due to the cracked/broken frame).

Just got this today. Yamasa Playboy. It seems that it is a max bet only machine. Let me know if that's true. Cool machine either way.
