I'm looking for some information on this Arm Wresting machine, looking for a schematic and a new sign for the back. Also need to know who the manufacturer is.

Dude, my friend who is a operator had 2 of those for sale. I passed on them years ago but i wish i would have bought them. They looked really cool but someone drew nipples on both of them

I have a manual for that. It was made by some manufacturer out of Japan. Had a chance to buy one of those years ago for $75 and passed. BIG mistake, I regret it everyday.
 
Here's more info....

----> Arm Wrestling was a machine made by the Ikemoto Shatai Kogyo Company of Japan. It is believed to be from the '80s. Based on the art featured on the machine, I'm not sure if the manufacturer really knew what armwrestling was all about…

I knew of and played one of these somewhere here in MN about 25 years ago. I think it was at a truck stop we used to frequent for 2am after-bar cuisine. I distinctly remember the dude holding a struggling Andre the Giant in his other arm while challenging you.
 
I think this used to be at the Showbiz Pizza on West 38th Street here in Indianapolis. It wasn't there long, and it was probably some time between '85 and '87. I remember convincing my dad to try it.
