Yeah, tons of water damage and the cell is so faded you can barely make out the design, let alone the colors. The chrome will never come back and will always have "sparkles" in it no matter how much you polish it. I was thinking about picking it up for restore, but only if I can get it really cheap. Otherwise, it's just an ugly wreck that can probably be made function without much effort. Oh, and if anyone was curious it is a 1970 model as are all Nishijin front overflows..

And rusty balls too...

Hmm, that seems different somehow than the typical Model A Nishijin. The bottom ball tray is angled outward rather than flat across, and the feeder tray is shaped different as well, but it definitely has Model A "recycler" innards. It looks to me like a "front overflow" machine?

Wow! Even with that much water damage, it still sold for $76.
