First, Welcome! I don't know why the pic is so small but That looks like a Nishigin model "A". Did you get any balls with it?

[mleist]

im trying to upload some more pics now. and no i got no balls with it, but planning on fixing a few things and cleaning it up then gonna sell it, but i just could not find anything on it.

here is a link to a video Mopar did showing how it works http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRtCSJlsufA

and here is a thread with basic cleaning advice Tips for Cleaning Your Vintage Pachinko Machine

If you have any questions feel free to ask away

here are some other pics of the machine...

sounds like you got a great deal, it looks good

You got a GREAT deal!!!

Vintage Nishijin Model A with the "side tross" feature. I've only seen that feature on a Model B.

The only thing I see wrong is you're missing a "track cover" next to the lower tray (see red circle below in photo). The more you learn about your machine and explore this message board you'll learn quite a bit!

Congratulations on a great buy!!

Oh.. and by the way,

Welcome to Pachitalk!!

Welcome to Pachitalk

looks like there are a few other problems as well.. the ball return tray appers to be out of position.. (its the tray that directs the losing balls back to the the jackpot tray... just before MicroBus99's red circle)

and also it looks like the jackpot reset arm bent..

take a look at the Model "A" video and see if tha helps ya out.. if ya have any questions at all feel free to ask.. there are no Dumb questions..

first of all

You got a great deal on a model a machine. Especially with those side pockets that is a hard object to find.

Also if you ever have any question feel free to ask... just remember to start a thread in the vintage Pachinko area that way you'll get more people to read your question.

Also if you need any parts many of us members have parts or ways of getting parts. Just tell us what you want or provide a picture and will send you a PM if we have one.
