    Default My NISHIJIN "SMILEY" Pachinko restoration

    Howdy Folks

    I recieved this Vintage Nishijin pachinko from mudfud (thank you Chewy ) ) . I started by giving it 2 each 1' pine 1X2 footings and then examining the condition of it and luckly I happen to have a "Surfer" of the same model to compare and , if necessary use some of the parts from the "Surfer " to get the "Smiley " Fully functional.

    These have the same rear layout as my Fishing model, except it has a solenoid that triggers all the tulips to open if it goes down the middle of the center feature. Nice looking machines!

    Well I'll try to mfg. some missing items on the "Smiley" while not taking any parts from the "Surfer" . Then after I get "Smiley " back up and looking pretty I'll do the same for the "Surfer".

    Yeah. If you are going to part out the surfer I'll take the CF. I love that theme. I already have a custom background in mind that I would put it with.

    100 machines and counting...
