Re: my never ending collection of machines
Sorry I haven't updated this in a while.
I got another 3 machines.
#80 is a Nishijin model A (Super Tulip) This machine we bought half torn apart. Because it was already taken apart we started into restoring it instantly. After looking through the parts I can see a few things are missing. But I think I may have the parts I need.
#81 is a Daiichi (piranha) This machine has some issues. The front tray has a huge hunk missing. And the rear tray is all cracked but might be able to be repaired. Also the plastics are a little faded. Otherwise it is a pretty complete machine.
#82 is a Heiwa (Super Tulip) Another machine in good shape. Just has a few minor issues other than that it should clean up fast.
The one thing that I would have liked to buy when I bought all of these is the seller also had a China Man Power Flash. He saw the one ebay auction and said he wouldn't go below $500. I tried to convince him that is a once in a life time price. He wouldn't budge so I walked but told him to call me if he wants to sell. He has no clue how it works though. He didn't even know it has solenoids in the back of it. I just hope he doesn't try to make them work and then fries the machine.
Also Just an update machine #78 has been cleaned and repaired. It will be for sale hopefully in a few days. (new thread will be made once ready)
