Some Japanese manufacturers of the time would make any machine for anyone if they had the money for the order.

I've added another picture from the angle I forgot, the door that opens on the left with the light bulb in it is very "retro" looking.
Looks like I cannot edit the original post so
here's the updated album
I'll keep searching
