This has come up a few times recently so I've decided to publicly share my "want list". I am going to specify the geographic region for each, since most people tend to know machines from one geographic area above all others.
Most Wanted: These are machines that are my top priority. I am willing to pay for international shipping to make any of these happen.
Japan - 1977 Vanishing Point - バニシングポイント by 豊栄産業 (Hoei Sangyo) or 1978 世界一周ゲーム (Round The World game) by 柿崎計器 有限会社 (Kakizaki Keiki) or Space Trip by unknown or 1978 Super Cars - スーパーカー by 柿崎計器 (Kakizaki Keiki)
These are essentially the same game except with different graphics. Round The World has at least 2 variant graphics. There is also a game from 1984 called Mr. ジャンプくん (Mr. Jump-kun) by ケーアンドユー商会 (K&U Company) but it is a full upright, and I'd only want to ship the top half.

| pachinko machines with odd nail distribution |
| I am interested in any old pachinko machines that look like just a grid of nails |
| any pachinko machine that outputs a coin or token instead of balls |
