I gotta go with the Arepachi

OK OK I will take the advice I was actually looking forward to finding a way to re-surface the old nishijin playfield but that will have to wait. I will need as many specs on this thing as anyone may have, I cant find a similar unit anywhere insofar as the playfield goes.

There are a couple of removable modules in the back of this thing I am wondering if anyone knows what they are and what each does. Neither of the two were plugged in when I got the unit so I dont know how to place them

Check with Bill Connelly (pachinkoman.com) I think he sells a refubishing cd that goes through step by step process. Make sure it's the one for a 'Nishijin Type A' machine. If they aren't on his web site check flea bay. I know he sells them there too.

As far as I know no one here has ever come up with a way to revers the ghosting on the Nishijin playing fields. Although I do remember someone over a year back saying they recovered one. Not sure if it was playable after that or not. If I find the post I'll link it here.

You can also PM Slothappy he's cleaned up this type before. He may have some recommendations or pointers.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help to you on this one.

I once saw a photo online of a pachinko where someone had removed all the nails and rails, stripped off the mylar and put a custom print in behind new mylar and put the nails and rails back in. As far as I know that's the only way to fix a water-stained playfield. The hardest part will be removing the rails, which are attached with long staples that might break off. I might try it sometime if there is no other way to restore a very unusual machine, but usually I just look for one without that kind of damage.

Actually does anyone have a picture of a drawing of how the pins are secured in the field? I would like to see I have a way of developing odd processes I would like to try. and the type A Nishijin is the one I will be doing it to I do need a plastic tray for it, as you can see in the picture I trashed mine last week pulling it down from the top rack in the warehouse on the forklift.

Wow I wish I had more projects like that to start off the summer but then again Im still putting off my volume controls til next weekend..Ahh summer in chicago can be hard to resist.

[teqkng]

Hmmm Lets see summer in chicago... you mean all 20 minutes of it?

[MrGneiss]

Years ago there was a vintage on ebay where someone put a spiderman movie pic on the playfield, it looked real nice and last year a member here posted pics of vintage where he covered the playfield with a tshirt!!

I can imaging taking all the nails out is hard enough, but putting them all back in must be a nightmare!!



Here ya go!!

Yeah but I actually had a crazy Idea about doing it with a face to match the "Price Is Right" "Plinko", and putting Bob Barkers image on it. I think my mother in law would love it. Kind of a commemorative.
