I Restored a Nishijin Model B

Done with my restore on a Nishijin model B, I replace background and refinished the frame.

I call it “American Eagle II” as the main attraction has a Eagle and it takes two balls to close the main tulip on it once opened.

Wow!!! That looks great. Nice work.

Nice work.

Glad to see other people that kinda have my view on the backgrounds. Just put one on that makes it look nice, the year machine it goes to don't matter. I think you picked a good looking one to offest the colors on the playfield.

I REALLY like how the wood frame turned out! Was it originally one of those off white laminates?

That is SO NICE! Wow. What a beauty. I do believe that I'm going to have to contact you soon to replace the background on one of my more water-damaged cells cos yours looks amazing.

I love the video as well. Now you've got me jealous of the fact that your vintage pachi lights work (not to mention the fact that after seeing that video all I want to do right now is go straight home and play)!! I think I only have one vintage machine where the lights work.
