Hello from Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania, USA

HI All,
I’m recently retired and have finally found time to clean up 2 pachinko machines. A ‘73 Nishijin Crab Model B and a ‘76 Sumo Model B. I’ve had the Sumo since the late 70s and picked up the crab in the early 90s. My kids loved them and now my grandchildren are discovering them. I’ve managed to get both working along with the lights and am now slowly cleaning them up and looking to paint them. Does anyone know what colors the butterflies on the Sumo originally were? I’ve been looking at Dan Welch’s YouTube and a couple others to try to figure things out. I also ordered a bumper for the Sumo (my fav).

I've had several machines with those and they have always been red and green.

thanks for the pic. Mine show only yellow and a remnant of dull orange.
