Identification Assistance Request

Hello everyone,

I recently bought a herd of pachinkos, but I do not know their common names. I do understand that there really is not a proper name for them, but I was hoping that some of them might have common names that people referred to them by. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have six altogether, but I have two of #2. I do not believe that any of them are rare or special.

On # 5 I do not know the year. The license sticker is covered so I cannot figure out the year it was made. If anyone can figure out the year on #5 I would love to know. Thank you for your assistance.

The machines look to be in pretty good shape. For #5 you may have to try to vary gently peel back that sticker. I would wait to see if others had run into this problem and see if they dealt with it differently. Sometimes you can get a general range of year but from what I know that sticker is the only place on a machine that tells the year.

The backs of the machine is the "Working Part" and if you could post photos of the backs it would be much welcomed .

I've been in the hobby off and on since 1977 and back then and now It's "How the machine makes me feel" is the big thing . I am still buying Vintages and Moderns still today .

In the Hobby the Year doesn't really affect the value .

The machines all look like they were Manufactured in the 1970's

I would agree, nothing out of the ordinary or "special", but it is a nice collection of good looking machines that appear to be in excellent shape. It is a nice start to a collection. Welcome to the addiction.
