    Default sumo wrestlers in the rough

    just got back from picking up this nishijin B. if it hadn't been the sumo guys, I would not have made the trip. this woman's roomate left the pachinko 4 months ago, so she needed to get rid of it.

    the cell has a bit of staining and a couple cracks that I can fix.

    frame is very pitted, will have to see how the 00 works on this one.

    the center piece has the sumo wrestlers discussed recently. I think I can clean them up and paint the pieces to make them look fresh. they swing back and forth when the balls come in from above. kinda cool.

    so many pachi's... so little time... off to bed, working the overnight tonight

    Odd - I just picked up the same one yesterday. I love the sumo theme. It's become my new favorite machine.

    I'd like to find a Pachinko with a samurai theme to compliment the sumo wrestlers.
    I used to eat lots of natural foods until I found out most people die of natural causes.

    Johnnynormal had a ninja nishijin b. Sold it to some one here, I think. That machine comes up every so often. Watch eBay too.

    at least you titled this thread well, it could have been 'Sumo Wrestlers in the Raw'

    Not a picture I'd want to see

    oooohhhh... that's a scary thought. yes rough, not raw

    I am hoping this one cleans up well, since the center piece is so fun. if not, I may have to start swapping frames and such, another adventure in pachi repairs and restorations

    So you are the dirty dog! I was emailing her back and fourth trying to find someone who could pick it up for me since I'm out in the valley. Got someone lined up and she emails me this morning that it was just sold. I was wondering who it was and if they were a member here. Did you pay the full $25?

    she'd been trying to sell it for weeks with no luck.

    paid her $25. you can have it for $30 (for gas and bridge toll) if you want.

    That's ok, at least I know it's in good hands. I have 2 pachis I need to clean up as it is (always looking for more, don't tell the wife). I got yelled at for bringing the last one to the house (was very dirty).

    That is good to know. I will have to keep that in mind.

    Here's the centerpiece after I played with it a little in Photoshop.



    I'll have to check the bay area CL and see if there's anything I want/need. Thanks for the offer!
