Hi all, again thanks for so much help getting the machine working well.
When you launch a ball, at the top of the track, is a rubber bumper, mine is dried out, and wondered if anyone here has an idea what to replace it with?
Many thanks.

Re: Rubber Bumper Nishjin Super DX
Member Owen has said, he cuts up a super ball as a replacement... sounds like a fricking great idea...

Re: Rubber Bumper Nishjin Super DX
If it's the round bumper (not the tear drop shaped one) I have found rubber grommets at ACE Hardware that make perfect replacements. Take the old dried out bumper to ACE and have them help you match it.(Lowes might also have rubber grommets that fit)
Otherwise, Billy at Vintage Pachinko sells an assortment of bumpers.

Again thanks ... now I remember..lol, been a while since I took the kids/grandkids to such a machine. But I do have memories of feeding those quarter grabbers, as well as the machine with the mechanical crane, 1.00 a pop, try to get a cheesy toy, but they had fun.
Thanks again guys...You all have provided me with so much help and info to get my machine going, I had quit on it for 3 years, till I found this site, now it provides me with enjoyment... very clever mechanics.

Thanks, be out looking for quarter machines.
Re: Rubber Bumper Nishjin Super DX
I use inside ring polishers they come in pink or blue for about $1.00 each from a jewelry supply store or at swap meets usually from the booth that has all the new tools and brushes. They are a little long so I cut them with a razor saw in a mini-mitre box and they work fine.
