    Default Hippo and Monkey are ready to play

    I just finshed cleaning and fixing my Nishijin model C and it is ready to play! I believe this unit was in a house fire. The playing field was yellowed and the machine itself was full of soot. I managed to get it working and in playable condition.

    A little polish, windex and lots of 409. Also a barrel of elbow grease.
    Now need to build a cabinet for it but first its beer o'clock.

    Sounds like you had your work cut out cleaning that one up, but you made a super fantastic job of it

    Great model C too

    Well? How does it play?

    Great cleaning job, the cell is uniformly (dis)colored, it looks great, like it was meant to be that way. Enjoy!

    So far it plays very well, I don't know if I enjoy it because I am done cleaning it or just because I enjoy playing Pachinko? Let you know in a week or so.
