    Default I Don't know the name of my machine...

    All I know is that it is by Mizuho and it's old... i just barely got the lights working from an old cell phone charger cord... I don't have pics of it but is there a catalog-ish list with pics of different machines anywhere?

    Sounds like mine. I too have a Mizuho with two lightbulbs and the bells. Did you ever find any information, as I would like to try and find some info too.

    Thanks

    There's very little about machines before 1990, even in Japan.
    Mizuho is owned by Aruze now.

    I think that I can ID the machine if you can give me shots of the entire cabinet, not just the playfield.

    Load it into a photo editor like photoshop and choose the resize function.
    Meanwhile, somewhere in Oklahoma.

    If you are using Windows XP, there is a power toy add on you can download for free. Image resizer. Works great. after installation just right click on any picture you have saved in your comp. and choose resize picture.

    Give it a try.
