    Default Help Identify Mizuho and "Big Shooter" machine

    Hey guys!

    A few months ago you all graciously helped me identify a Taiyo Elec machine I got. I recently had the opportunity to buy two more machines this past weekend and after learning all about my last machine I felt a lot more knowledgeable and sorted through some of the issues I had with the Taiyo.

    I figured i would share the pictures here and I could seek your help in identifying these new machines. I got both of these for $50 each and they are fully functional. The "Big Shooter" one is a lot of fun and the sounds it makes when you win seem even more wacky than the Taiyo.

    I always have issues attaching images on this website so bear with me as I provide links instead

    I found some other links on the Big Shooter machine I have but no real relevant details unfortunately! Just looking for year, model, and approximate worth if any of these units are rare. I never plan to sell but I always like to hear if I got a good deal

    Let me know if any other photos are needed and have a good week!

    can you post a full pic of the vintage machine.. if you can post them here it would be appreciated.. not a fan of off site photos. they always seem to get lost when using a thread for reference..

    looks like i see a dongle in your future as well..

    That Big Shooter is either the 2nd or 3rd in the series, I think. It’s based off the original one that was a big hit back in the day of peak pachinko. Not sure on the year of yours; late 90’s is my guess. Nice score!

    That Mizuho vintage is nice too; I’d say they are both in the $75-100 range in value; more on ebay.

    Thanks for posting the full photos on my behalf. I cannot ever get an attachment to work on this website

    Thanks for those that answered already! For the 2002 Big Shooter, do you have a link to more info per chance? Cheers
