Nishijin Grand Trapeze Hanemono Machine from the early 1980's

We have just finished this reconditioning of a Nishijin Grand Trapeze from about mid 1980’s. The machine has a circus theme with the clown swinging back and forth in the center feature in the fever mode. Lots of lights and sound on this one!!

The play on this machine is quite fast-paced once you hit the fever mode. First, you have upper pockets and outer tulips that provide a single payout. Then you have the #1 lower pockets, those provide a payout and cycle the hanemono arms one time to open the center feature. Next you have the #2 center pocket. If you get a ball in the #2 pocket, it will pay out 13 balls and cycle the hanemono 2 times, greatly increasing the chances of entering the center and starting the fever mode.
Now once the balls enter the center, the clown swings back and forth moving the balls around and the pink trays will flip. The center feature will trap and hold balls for about 5 seconds, when released if a ball hits the V pocket it will start the fever mode, the counter starts, and payout for all of the balls in the center. If the balls don’t make the V pocket, it will go into a last chance mode where it doesn’t trap the balls but does give you a chance to reenter the fever mode.
