Rare Japanese flyers needed!

I know that the following flyers exist, but I have only ever seen tiny thumbnails of them. I am desperate to find someone who has any of these flyers. I am in need of scans, but will also purchase them if need be. 

Please spread this widely amongst your collector friends, especially your nerdiest and deepest collector friends. These are flyers that even some of the biggest flyer collectors in the world do not have.

These are, of course, needed for my eremeka database project.

This blog stands in protest against the USA's horrific attempts to eliminate trans people from society. Trans people have always existed, in every society, but the administration has embraced a moral panic, declared a war against reality, and says that trans people can no longer be allowed to exist. This includes making their healthcare illegal, censoring books and school curriculum from university level down to elementary school, declaring trans life to be child abuse, and banning trans people from bathrooms.

This blog stands in solidarity with all of the youth who are being terrorized by a fascist president who has declared them to be threats that must be eliminated.

The USA is disappearing random brown people off the streets via unidentified masked men and shipping them off to concentration camps and notorious foreign prisons, all with no due process. Solidarity for all who are in the gaze of this American Nazism terror campaign against its own people.

scans: 1975 Sega's Jukeboxes and Amusement Machines & Sammy サミー February 1995 Lineup Catalog

2 more amazing scans for the Flyers of Mike Minchew, these ones scanned for me by Dan H.

The Sammy one is cool and all, but the second one, Sega from 1975 is probably one of my favourite catalogs of all time! It is an incredible slice of history capturing the transition from pinball and other lecture mechanical games into the creeping videogame dominance. 

There is no date on the second flyer, but we know Last Inning is 1975.

1975 Sega's Jukeboxes and Amusement Machines

8 pages total, and here's 3 more pages to gawk at:

F-T-BScans has taken 2 more of the slightly decomposing billboard magazines I was gifted at Ontario Pinfest and salvaged them for these juicy scans.

So the source is not perfect, one cover is even missing, but we are still getting high rise scans of the coin-op portions in mostly perfect condition!
