    I just bought this at a garage sale for $10. Is this a vintage or newer one? (I THINK I managed to upload the picture) Any information would be appreciated!

    Admittedly not a very good picture. It says Super DX on a metal plate on the lower left corner.

    Welcome to PachiTalk!! You have a Nishijin Sophia Super DX model B machine, which I might say you got for a steal of a deal. Can you post some more pictures, like one of the back and some close-ups of the play field? We can look it over for you to make sure everything you need to play it is there. Also, did it come with any balls? You will need 400-500 minimum to get it working, but I personally prefer 1,000 in my model B machines so that I can get more play/jackpots before refilling.

    We are a friendly and helpful user group, so please feel free to post back with any questions you may have about the machine. No question is too basic.

    Again, welcome to our online community. Please visit us daily and post often.

    It is still at the house where I purchased it... we bought the house, too! No sense in moving it twice. I will snap some more pics tomorrow when we go back over. Yes, some balls came with it but I didn't check to see how many there were! I will get back to you! Thanks for the info and look forward to getting more!

    $10 is a great price. As you already know you have a Nishijin Model B build year is 75-76. Hard to see what the center feature is, seems interesting though. This is about the closest matching machine to yours that I could find. Vintage Nishijn Pachinko Machine Official Japanese Balls Traditional Parlor Game | eBay (Build year is 76 on that one but they used the frame design for 2 years.)

    If you have any questions feel free to ask. And once again welcome to PT.
