Edit History

The eremeka catalog of early Japanese flipper games attributes this maker's entire pinball line to one maker, 三共 (Sankyo); it reserves the longer name 三共精機 (Sankyo Seiki) for a single unrelated crane game. IPDB's "Sankyo Seiki / Sankyo Precision Equipment" label — echoed only by IPDB-derived sources (OPDB, kineticist) — risks conflating the maker with the unrelated Nidec Sankyo (三共精機, music boxes). Renaming the brand to plain Sankyo (三共) per the independent primary source; the IPDB legal name is kept on the corporate entity and as an alias.
