Tearing into my nishijin B. Need Parts?

[Valium]

Well, I haven't posted in a while.

I'm a tinkerer, a modder, and a hacker. I fix things. I fixed my pachinko too easily and too fast. I lost interest.

So here's what I'm gonna do. I'm going to convert it to full cyclic and make some "upgrades".

And I'll be incorporating some modern tech to do it. Trouble is I'm going to have most of the mech of a Nishijin Model 'B' (SOPHIA) sitting around. My wife is gonna love that. :/

Actually, I'm rather certain she'd like to see them gone. So who needs parts? I don't know what parts I'll have, but when I do, I'll post them here in this thread.

Now, for the other part. The tinkering, modding, and hacking. Simple cyclic is easy enough, but who wants just that. I have some "mystery parts". (I know full well what they are, I'm just gonna keep that as a surprise for now.)

So let me get some pictures, and plans, and I'll post back.

This is the playfield.

This is what the back looks like for those that don't know. Fun fact, most of the mech is stapled on, and can be removed in a single piece, after you disconnect the front empty release thingamabob.

And if you remove the whole mech, you get this.

Pin a few foamboard rails in place for the new ball path.

And pop the cover on.

But this is just prototype, and making so it still functions until I put these gubbins in.

I apologize in advance, they are 5.3MP images., hence no embed.

I resized them for the people that can't see off site links, your second link was broken (I assume as it just opened the home page both times I clicked it)

ah, thank you, its just the back of a Nishijin "B". But in the spirit of things, here's Domo-Kun, showing off his winnings(Okay he ACTUALLY won a pen, but he sold that to someone else, ya 'know.)'

How much are you asking for the Model B parts?

How much are you asking for the Model B parts?

I already tried a few moths back. Plus I think they are already sold. Member Valium doesn't visit often so he can be hard to reach.

I tried also to get parts for melted SideTross...no response.
