Saw these Japanese machines and thought they would be of interest to people here, if not bemuse you all.

A payout pachinko-style machine that is really throwing back to the Allwin styles.

In the 1950s Bally produce a few skill roll games, but Japan really cornered the market on these.

Later 20th-cent Japanese variant on the popular balance games.

While this game is very solid state, I love that Japan produced a lot of games in the classic Duomat style.

What country is this one from?

Don't know where the machine comes from but the main name language is Spanish (north west) or northern Portugal I think.

I lived in the Basque country (Northern Spain/Southern France) in the 70s. Whereas a form of "Sarabled" is used there it means non functioning or handicapped.
So I think it's more likely a coincidence.
I can't imagine Bryans producing a machine called "Buggered Up"

Google Translate tells me Sarabled means Sarred in Armenian...

Looks like it has a bit of age to it.

surely it must mean "thoroughbred" although I cant find the language ,several European languages use a version of "pure blood" for "thoroughbred" and the second half of this word could mean blood ?
