    Default Identifying a machine

    Hello, all! New to the forum. I made my way here from pachinkoboy.com after having searched through their Nishijin Machine Catalog. I’m trying to identify (and if I’m really lucky, purchase) a machine I played at my neighbor’s house when I was little. Unfortunately, I only have one rather poor picture to go on. Here it is:

    It looks like a late 70s unit, but beyond that, I’ve no clue. Any ideas which machine this may be?

    Thanks for the help!

    Welcome to the forums! Do you happen to recall if the center attraction was anything special or unique that might help us identify it?

    Unfortunately, I don’t remember that much about it. I don’t believe it was something recognizable by an 8-year-old (like the hockey one, for example). It was 40 years ago. I remember characters with wings that would open and close. The center did have something significant but I can’t remember what. I was hoping the colors and patterns would be enough to make it recognizable to experienced pachinko folks. If I saw it I might recognize it, but… I might not. I did take a close look at the catalog but he ones I saw there didn’t look familiar.

    Hope that helps. It is a mystery.

    WELCOME!!!

    I'm not much of a vintage expert, but that doesn't leek like a Nishijin to me!! Doesn't look like a Daiichi either..

    Hopefully one of the vintage peeps will be able to at least recognize the manufacture..
