scans: Japanese monitors schematics

A huge pack of schematics from Japanese monitors.  The GMM-8 and GMM-20 also had copies labeled Taito, so I assume they were used in Taito games.   Thank you to John at Flippers.com for the scans.

Please share widely.

To my readers in the USA: This blog stands in protest against the horrific eliminationist policies being enacted by your administration to remove trans people from society.  Trans people have always existed, in every society, but this administration has declared a war against reality and says that trans people can no longer be allowed to exist.  Trump's executive orders say that trans children should be constantly terrorized at school, in their home, in public, and at hospitals.  Trump's orders are a decree to destroy all traces of trans existence from society, and that all trans people are subhuman threats and liars who should not be allowed to exist publicly.  He is attacking children, he is attacking families, and he is delighting in his sadism.

This blog stands in solidarity with all of the youth who are terrified by a president who has declared them to be threats, a danger to themselves and others that must be eliminated.

A friend and I went together and purchased a stack of Amusement Sangyo magazines (and I think there's a Coin Journal in there,) and as he scans them I'll be sharing them here.  Here's the first one!

The Amusement Industry (アミューズメント産業) - Vol. 22 No. 1 January 1993

A different friend had the 1978 machine directory and scanned it for me.  I am elated that I get to share this with you all.  This is an extremely rare document of Japanese arcade history.
