I'm posting this one because it's not very common

It's an ichigin model, (searching only brought up one thread)

Start price is $25

Yes, I'm just a magnet for the strange and unusual...





actually, there is one in this thread,
HI!!! need a little help identifying my machines...

at first glance I thought it was the same, but then i noticed this ebay one is different, it has 2 tulips where the other has pockets, and the centre piece and top pieces are different

This one ended at $98 (about £59 GBP)

I think that was a good price for the buyer, did one of our members strike lucky with it??

It looks a lot like the same mechanics a Sankyo vintage has. The JackPot rocker/wings appear to be of the same design.

I really wonder how much plaigiarizing went on back in the day?
