So what Nishijin do I have?

[teaka123]

We've been cleaning the family house and came across this pachinko machine, but can't seem to identify it. I've been reading and viewing photos - learned a great deal, but no luck identifying this particular one. Here's what I know -

it's wood
no year stamp
it's a Nishijin
no manufacturer date or year
background has orange frogs
has a sticker in the lower right corner reading "This capacity of the pachinko machine is equal to hit 100 ball per a minute. So flip the handle timely."

It's in good condition - not dirty, no waterstains, no rust

Hi here


Welcome to PachiTalk!!

The manufacturer is Nishijin

Are you able to provide pics of the back of the machine? This will help the members establish what type you have

and also clear close up pics of any stickers on the cell front, I see some bottom right, usually the date is hidden in code on what we believe to be a parlour expiry sticker, if present, this will help the members give a probable date for your machine.

If you're able to take the pics then a close up of the cell front would be really nice too, so we can see the centre feature and the cell front clearly, we are all enthusiasts here and love to see the different types of pachinko and it enables us to give the best most relevant advice to you

Thanks for the suggestions and I will take additional photos tomorrow. Fabulous site.

Welcome

It's a Nishijin 1200 AKA model A or front overflow, it was made between 1969 and 1970. It looks like it was made at the end of the run, the front loader tray, overflow tray, the trim around the loading window and the trim around the shooter were left overs from other runs which make it a little unique. Here a photo of one I restored.

Looks like Cardwwi answered your question. Kinda odd how none of the color trim parts on your machine match. Though it is still correct as they used what parts were laying around.

If you have any other questions feel free to ask.

Thank you for all the responses! Here are some additional photos. I did notice a water mark at the top, but no rust. We also have the original metal balls. If I were to sell this what should I sell it for. While I think it is such a cool vintage piece no one in the family has a spot for it and want it to go where it can be appreciated. I'm in the Seattle area so if anyone is in the area and interested let me know. Cheers!
