What to photograph
Capture the complete front, maker logos, model plates, rear cabinet, power labels, circuit boards, connectors, ball paths, trays, doors, key areas and any included transformer or controller. Photograph missing pieces as clearly as included ones.
Identification checks
- Separate historical mechanical machines from later electronic products.
- Look for maker marks beneath added decorative panels.
- Parts compatibility should be confirmed by exact model, not brand alone.
Buying and restoration context
A complete-looking face can conceal missing rear systems, improvised wiring, broken trays or absent keys. Compare the exact model and cabinet generation, then decide whether you are buying a display object, functioning home amusement machine or restoration project.

Electrical safety: Never assume voltage or wiring from the brand name. Verify the machine’s labels and use a qualified technician for modifications, damaged wiring or uncertain power conversion.
