Not all Jap machines have metal Taito plates fixed to the headbox.
In fact of the 3 containers I saw from Japan, only a third had the Taito plate affixed on the headbox or cabinet.
A lot had a plate on the coindoor only.
A Jap import machine is usually as good as any HUO game from the U.S. Or Europe any day of the week.
If anyone ever gets offered anything pinball from Japan, go for it cause they are usually minty and low usage.
It's also very rare anyone ever gets to convince a Japaneese operator to part with their machines. You would normally have had a lengthy long term friendship in order to make such a deal. My friend had such a relationship & I was so lucky to see the great machines he imported.
I doubt I will ever see another Japaneese container again.
It would be good if anyone could list the current cash price to buy a MMadness Remake.
Does anyone in Oz hold any stock of these ?
