looking at it there will probably be only 5-7 machines that may be for parts. Most of them just need some cleaning others will take some work to fix up but I will say that I about 90% of them will work. Most of the parts were in the box.

[Moparformances]

at 90 % fixabel you made a great buy...

good luck with your project...

So today I inventoried the 8 machines that we bought before the 60 machines.

#61 in a Nishijin model B (castle)

#62 is a Kyoraku sun 406 (flowers)

#63 is a Heiwa (bull)

#64 is a Nishijin model A (frog)

#65 is a Nishijin model A (hi) I don’t know if you can tell, but on the picture of the back if you look at the loop to open the frame for the playfield; you will see a key. We made that to open the lock on this machine. I will post a thread in a couple of days on how to make one.

#66 is a Sankyo (pottery)

#67 is a Nishijin model B (JAL)

#68 is a Nishijin model B (Pac-man / Rolling Stone) I know how some of you commented on the model A one I have posted previously and I said I also have a model B one, well here it is.

"my new collection of 60 machines"

I don't even know what that means.

"my new collection of 60 machines"

I don't even know what that means.

How about "an overwhelming aquistion of alot of Pachinko Machines at once that you need to build a shed for and hide from your wife".

Does that explain it? I'm sure MX has a more clever answer then that.

I'ts called how to kepp a kid busy over the summer while out of school, and Dad lending him 1/3 of the garage (and the money)...For some reason we keep looking at more, it's a disease!!!

Disease???

i Perfer

Sickness.. or better yet a Plague

[Rival]

I think my wife would agree that it is like a plague. They multiply rapidly. It's hard to say no to another machine when you find one at a garage sale for $10.00.

I don't know if anyone was counting; but today I totaled up the machines I have and I noticed that I have:
16 Nishijin model A's
23 Nishijin model B's
5 Nishijin front overflow's
4 Nishijin single shot conversion
1 Nishijin single shot
and 13 other brand machines.

Also if anyone wants it attached is the document I used to inventory all of these machines.
In each of the boxes I would put a score from 0-5, based on my knowledge, other boxes got a yes or no. Once I inventoried all the machines with this document I then went and put them all in an excel file and found the average score for each machine and whichever ranked highest that would be the one I start with first. And looking at it machine #4 is first (maybe) might be a Nishijin first to regain some funds (in that case it is machine #6).

Well I know it has been a while since I last posted or updated my thread. But over the few months I have been out buying and selling a few machines. Now I have added another 6 machines to my pile and sold 2 of them. I also have another 2 machines that I never posted in here but I will at some point. Anyways I'll give you and update on the new machines first.#69 is a Nishijin Model B (2 doves) this one I am actually currently restoring. #70 is a Nishijin Model B (green crown)#71 is a Nishijin Model B (world ski) This one is cool because I bought it off the lady who owned it since it was imported.#72 is a Sanyo Comet II (plinko or pegs)#73 is a Nishijin Model B Power Flash (china man) I finally found a PF!#74 is a Sin Gin single shot (built in about 1964) sorry I forgot the # in the picture but you can tell which machine it is. The other cool thing about this machine is it has Japanese writing all over the back.The other pics and info will be in a following post.

Here are the rest of the pictures.

Sorry about the whole formatting in post #72. I forgot to double check that.

Anyways I mentioned that I sold 2 machines in post #72. Well I completely restored them and then put them on ebay. My start price was what I wanted to get. At first I didn't expect to get that price. But then they both ended up selling for $430.

Before and after pictures are attached below.

Update.

okay I bought another 5 machines.

#74

[Steve Cebu]

Great job restoring them Max.

[mxfaiman]

Sorry about that last post I accidentally posted it before I finished and then ran out of editing time.

Anyways I bought 5 more machines.

#74 is a Nishijin model A (Hi / Cherries) this will most likely become a parts machine

#75 is a Nishijin model A (Green Bowling with Red Pins!) This is odd to find the red pin model I seem to only see the white pin model never the red. Plus I thought you could only find the red pins on the purple bowling. I guess I was wrong.

#76 is a Nishijin model B (jet) this thing is disgusting. as I was blowing it down I found a wooden peg in the ball loader. Then I noticed that the ball drain in the upper tray wasn't working so I took it off to find the problem (yuck!) Right now I have all those parts being cleaned.

#77 is a Nishijin model B (sakana or fish.)

#78 is a Daiichi (flowers) This thing was a great find. It was in its oringinal box. plus it also had all the manuals that always got lost. (they will be scanned and uploaded) And the machine is in great shape. Plus it all works even the lights. I even finished pulling off the film on the plexi! (half was already pulled off for play the rest was left on.) It looks like it was played for a little and then stored for quite a while. This is pretty much near mint condition.

Pictures over 2 posts:

this post: #74,75 and 77

Next post #76 and 78

Rest of the pictures.

I forgot to mention the Daiichi also proves member Rival's point that these machines where called model 3200 and 1200.

Okay well I bought machine # 79 a few days ago.

#79 is a Nishijin Model B (shooting stars) built in 1974. This machine also has a cabinet around it. the guy I bought it from said it was in the house when they moved in 10 years ago. The house was built in about the 70's so it could be possible that the first owner of the house put this in. It also came with a bin of balls. (Half of them rusty but I'm cleaning them up and sorting them)

Anyways this puts the total of machines I have owned at 80

WOW! Lucky dog! Congrats on your pachinko booty!
