my never ending collection of machines

[mxfaiman]

Just out of curiosity, what did you end up paying for the entire lot?

Sorry I don't want to give that info out due to the fact that I'll later be selling most of these.

okay today I inventoried another 8 machines.

#23 is a Maruhon (sumo wrestler) (I am looking to restore this one but the lower tray is missing and I was wondering if anyone had one, I only have the ashtray for it, "I think")

#24 is a Nishijin model B (Circuit) (this is another one I look to restore because A. I haven't seen one before and B. It is like a power flash, which I would love to have.)

#25 is a Nishijin model B (pendulum)

#26 is a Nishijin model B (Jet)

#27 is a Nishijin model B (Ebira or giant lobster monster)

#28 is a Nishijin model A (tilting cup)

#29 is a Nishijin model A (SSS)

#30 is a Nishijin model A (Spinners) (I already have one in a model B so in a model A it is cool, because it means less ball I have to keep moving!)

Sorry I haven't posted anything new lately. But it has been raining and I can't inventory machines when its raining. But in the time I have gone and taken apart Machine # 15.

Here are some before and after pictures.

Luckily it hasn't been raining much of today so hopefully I can get another 2 or 3 new machines inventoried.

If you find a Marudai new prince in there I am a buyer.

If I found one I'd probably keep it. I love off brand machines. Sorry but don't see anything like it in there though. Only off brand that I see that's left that I haven’t inventoried is a Hewia.

Luckily it didn't rain this afternoon and I was able to inventory another 4 machines.

#31 is a Nishijin model B (tiger) (also my current avatar picture)

#32 is a Nishijin model A (5 tunnel)

#33 is a Nishijin model A (super flower)

#34 is a Nishijin model B (Chevy)

Nice, the Chevy machine. One of my fave's

Rival,

With the amount of money he owes me, let us know if you are interested in anything. The collection is very heavy on Nishijin's although there is a few rough Panasonic/National machines.

Okay today I inventoried another 4 machines.

#35 is a Nishijin model B (tabemasu)

#36 is a Nishijin model A (super flower)

#37 is a Nishijin model A single ball conversion (yellow bar)
To show that some of these machines endured some extreme heat I posted a picture of the rebound bumper on this machine.

#38 is a Nishijin model B (super tulip)
This machine has some melted parts on the back but I'm hoping to save this one so I'm going to take parts from other machines.

I like it too. You don't see one like that often, they are kinda hard to come by. Actually when we found this machine the whole upper ball tray and the panel were missing, luckily I had one in the box of parts and when I went to put it on I noticed it was the exact one off that machine. Sadly for me I'm thinking about selling this one but I will do some work to it before that.

#24 is a good catch. I've not seen that before, I hope you can shine that baby up to a sweet state.

Yeah I haven't seen any of them before. And it will be fairly easy to clean up. Just a lot of cleaning of parts and electrical work but other than that it is a solid machine. I'll probably hang onto this one for a while before I let it go (If I ever let it go).

Okay today I inventoried another 4 machines.

#39 is a Nishijin model A front overflow (super Tulip) At some point someone went and painted the chrome frame on this machine gold. I don't like the gold frame personally but I do like the gold on the lower ball tray. I may see if I can save the chrome on the frame or I'll have to paint it a different color. (I don't want to rechrome plate it due to the cost.)

#40 is a Nishijin model A (Flowers / Arrows)

#41 is a Nishijin model A Single ball conversion (yellow bar) This seems to be the nicest machine throughout the lot. Also personally to me it seems to be the nicest conversion machine that I have seem that hasn't been restored. I might hang onto this machine a little longer than the others, and it might be the first one I'm going to build a cabinet for.

#42 is a Nishijin model A front over flow (Tulip Tower / Roses)

Sorry I haven't been adding new stuff but I got sidetrack the past couple of days with another project. Anyways today I inventoried another 2 machines.

#43 is a Nishijin model A (5 tunnel)

#44 is a Nishijin model B (Mixed emotion king) I called this machine that because if you get a ball into the center feature the king smile then if you get it in again he frowns.

44 was mine...

it has interesting action.. but to bad about the rust or i would have kept it

The chrome is in decent shape, it is just the front ball panel that has issues (but that's nothing that a little paint can't solve). And the metal parts on the back are in okay shape but once again nothing a little sanding and paint can't fix.
I like the center feature on it, it is just kinda odd (but the paint is flaking off so I have to fix that issue).
The bigger issue is the water damaged frame. But that is also easily fixed (make a new one).

Okay today I inventoried another 3 machines.

#45 is a Nishijin model A single shot (red bar / Bamboo)
I'm going to have another post after this with the pictures and my thoughts on it.

#46 is a Nishijin model A (flowers / arrows / cherries)

#47 is a Nishijin model A (can't think of a name for it anyone got one?) if you get a ball in the center it returns the sides to like in the picture; but if you get it in the side part it opens that portion of it out. and then you can't get a ball in there until you get one in the center.
