Hows that Pachinko named?

[Shakkaboo]

Hi,

someone can tell me the name, age and worth of this nishijin?
Thx for your replys

You should be able to get the date from the sticker on the front in the lower left. Look for two numbers there, I'm betting based on the plastic pieces around the play-field that you'll see a "52" on the sticker somewhere, which is an expiration date of 1977, I have two machines with the same plastic accents and light lenses that were "52"'s. I think the general rule of thumb is to subtract 12 - 18 months from that date to get the manufacture date.

Without seeing the back, I'm pretty sure you'll find that is a Nishijin "B" machine.

Unless there is a specific name on one of the pieces, I don't know if there is an official name. Also, worth is really subjective, but in the US, based on the little bit that can be seen in the picture, I'd probably pay $20 - $50 USD assuming all the parts are there, unless I wanted it really badly for some reason.

well the power supply is already made for european standards
the machine is technical correct
i get a few balls to the machine
-> so its more worth to me

i get the machine in a few weeks at home then i can look to the stickers nearer
correct me if i am wrong:
machine is from 1960
Nishijin "B" machine (what means the "B"?)
i can name it how i like if i dont find any hint on the machine

The "B" is the style of the mechanisms on the back, with the new picture you've posted, your machine is definitely a "B". There is a post somewhere on PT with pictures of the A, B and C type, if you search for it you'll see the similarities with your machine.

The parlor stickers are on the lower right of the front of the machine, you can see them in your first picture. Look around for a two digit number. I'm attaching one from one of my machines. You can see the "52" in the picture.

from that part i didnt have a picture - so i have too wait

just found that in a other tread:
Album: Before Restoration
dont know why its named monkey and elephants
better monkey and swans ...
however cant wait to play it - i never played a pachinko - i am a virgin

thx for the while - i am sure i came back with some questions when its at my place

Definitely not made in 1960. Probably around 1973-75 looking at the style of the front.

The machine looks to be in really good shape front & back (mechanics look great). They are going for much closer to $75-100 on e-bay regularly, depends on who is bidding and what they want. I have seen machines in much worse shape go for over $100. It is all up to each individual, our machines are "worth" whatever we are willing to pay. People regularly spend a lot more money for things that are not nearly as fun...

Nice machine - enjoy it!

just my .02
