Default Flying Man??

Has anyone heard of this machine? There is one listed on CL. It looks really nice, decals are good.

Made in China, and likely fairly new. Haven't read much that is positive about the Chinese machines.

Around here, I can buy a 15-91, in a cabinet, for the same money or less, though if you are only looking for a machine to display, that one looks nice enough.

I was thinking it was an older 15 clone. More from the 50's or so. For example, this one is none too new. http://www.bidorbuy.co.za/item/93796...G_MACHINE.html

Here's another one: http://meijosjoy.blogspot.com/2012/0...s-to-keep.html

Could be a well preserved vintage machine, though there is no date history for either of the 2 machines in the links provided.

I'd like to see the front of the first machine, or the back of the others, to see if the Flying Man was in the front decal, or below it like the other two.
