one of the earliest pachislo machines
Anyone seen a pachislo-style machine from Japan that's older? https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/g354375106
I know of skill-stop slots from parts of Europe that predate solid-state electronics, but this is the earliest Japanese skill-stop slot I've seen.

Cool. I have never seen one like it. Reminds me of some of the German machines.

Years ago I think I made a post about the first pachislo.. It's green I think.. I'll find a pictureBut if I remember right it was called Olympia (Not related to current company Olympia owned by Heiwa) because of the 1964 Olympics in Japan.. It looks just like other Sega slot machines from the time I've seen, but with three stop buttons!! I hope that's all correct!!
Found some pics!!

Rotamint, that's exactly what I was thinking of.
Re: one of the earliest pachislo machines
yeah I have an affection for those 1960s German machines like Rotomint, but most of them don't have stops.
Cool to see the Sega slot where it has the big arm pull AND the stop buttons

Re: one of the earliest pachislo machines
it operates more as a traditional slot.. the reals stop from left to right in perty quick succession
if you playing one handed its hard to stop the 3rd right reel before the clock works trip it to stop on its own..
also the reel don't stop on a dime.. a block is pressed against a star so they click over a few slots before they actually stop..
