Got ahold of the seller who said the balls are not firing correctly, not sure what that means but this is a real classic called Fireball Boy by Nishijin and welll worth checking out ( got 3 in the same frame to swap parts around if needed,plus he said any reasonable offer would be accepted) will get to see it this Saturday
heres a video of the yaku in action,has a great magnetic trick it does during the jackpot rounds,really hoping this one works

well I got there this morning met the seller (very nice guy,said his two kids played with the machine growing up,turns out he bought it from Republic Industries himself years ago)


when I first glanced at the machine I looked for color depth, candyflip made mention of the vibrant red it should be, and saw it was very rich with lots of deep colors

then unfortunatly I notice two fairly severe cosmetic problems, A broken pocket,and the lower pocket artwork has been damaged with some

hasty repair work using too much superglue (suspecting the kiddos did this)

it also was suffering from what appeared to be several ball jams,
after clearing enough jams out to establish the yaku functioned correctly,I weighed my options and made an offer that was less than half the asking price,knowing it would be hard to locate replacement parts or try to fabricate my own.
The seller, being understanding,agreed!

Got it home and cleared all the jams, and to my relief it works very well,I was able to temporarily replace the broken yellow part with a red piece from my spare Derby King which is in the same frame (just until I repair the damaged part)

so, all in all, Im quite pleased, it really has a great center feature and is loaded with charm
