Nishijin "Montreal winter Olympics" Theme - The money pit!
Since I just sold my Nishijin Football theme to a friend, I thought it was time to move on to another project...so I dug out one of my finds at that antique shop in KC and wow..."Pachinko Planet" to the rescue! EVERYTHING was missing from this machine. The pictures below are very entertaining to say the least and yes, I probably could just used the machine for parts, but James at Pachinko Planet was very kind and gave me a great deal on all the items I need!
But here's what I needed:
1. Center tulip was made out of wood but previous owner!
2. When I opened the front of the machine...where the balls load, the entire shooting mechanics were GONE!
3. Some covers were missing from the back.
4. The plastic tray that goes in the back, for the balls to come out the front was totally missing (sorry, don't know the tech name).
And that of course is not including the rust on the frame, the mildew growing on the playing field, the TONS of dirt and mouse turds in side the jackpot mechanics...on and on and on!
No turning back now! If it wasn't for that cool skier dude, I would of scrapped this one!
On ward!
Joe
