    Default Montreal Olympics Machine Looks Different Than Others

    Hello!

    First time posting here. Was hoping to get some help correctly identifying and describing my machine. From the research I've done, I've figured out it's a 1976 Montreal Olympics model B Shiroi Kamome however the photos I've seen of other ones don't match mine. I'm wondering if I'm missing pieces in the center or if it is an entirely different figure than the little skiing guy (or whatever he is - he looks like he's skiing to me). The paint on mine is also different. Did it come in different colors? And lastly, is it fair to say its value is about $100?
    Thanks so much guys!

    That isn't the Montreal Olympics theme that I am familiar with. Still a nice looking machine. Check this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZ3071fQJXc

    I don't like to pay more than 50 bucks for a machine, but there are those that command more due to their rarity--powered models that are still functioning for example.

    Personally, I would pay up, to a reasonable amount, for the machine with the monkey and crocodile...

    I'm sure someone will come around with some info on your particular machine.

    first off



    Welcome to Pachitalk

    your machine is a variant machine..I dont want to say its left over parts but there are machines out there that look like they were assembled with exactly that, left over parts.. there is a nice power flash out there with a std color and white back ground..

    100 seems a little high for cali.. lots of people asking lots of money for machines.. if it has lots of balls then 100 would be a fair price..

    My Montreal Olympics machine has this background, and so have others I've seen. I've restored one that didn't have this playfield too.

    I dont think any pieces went with any specific playfield unless you are talking specifically about the special electric models. There were a handful of playfields used in 1976, and there's no telling what rhyme or reason they used while assembling.
