    Default Hello from Long Island

    My name is John and was fortunate to find a Pachinko machine at a swap meet. I've only seen one other machine in my life that my cousin had about 30 years ago and remember being so fascinated by the sight and sounds that I haven't forgotten it still. In researching my machine, I've found out that it's a Nishijin Style B with the Innisbrook Winter Olympics centerpiece. It's a working machine, relatively clean with only a little chrome pitting and only a few small cracks in the plastic and only one cigarette mark in the feeder tray. I'm looking forward to getting the lights powered up and loading it with balls soon enough. If anyone can provide any other info on my particular machine it would be greatly appreciated!

    my oldest brother has lived in Mineola, L.I. for almost 60 years, he's right near the courthouse.

    I've visited him a lot in the 60's when I was stationed in Wash.D.C.

    Nice to see a few Long Island neighbors here!

    Mopar, here's the center feature. The angle obscures the wording, "World Ski" and "GOAL". I've noticed that the lower center tulip seems to jam up with balls and I'm hoping this is only because of the lack of pachinko balls (only about 50 came with the machine).
