    Default Clean Single Shot Groooovy Sophia

    Japanese Pachinko Pinball Machine Plays Pays Nishijin Slot Machine Arcade | eBay

    Looks really nice... and check the really groovy plastic lenswork around the keyhole and over the tray... yow!

    Pretty pronounced water marks around the pins, but can't see much else wrong with it. Graphics are a bit faded... but look pleasingly pastel-ish.

    Perfect for your grandma's tea room!

    Woof!

    That is a pretty clean looking machine. Wonder if they are a member here. I forget if we have any members from Massachusetts.

    Anyways it is a very nice looking machine. (Besides the playfield. Man that makes me want to tear it off and replace it.)

    100 machines and counting...

    Here is another Nishijin Single Shot machine. Built a year after that one.

    Vintage Pachinko for Parts or Restoration Marushin Industry 1960S | eBay

    $(KGrHqF,!lMFDkYBp7+6BRL26Lzu)!~~60_57.jpg$T2eC16N,!yUE9s6NDMHfBRL25qNhzg~~60_57.jpg

    Someone refinished the front frame (kinda poorly), redid the wiring (most bulbs look burnt out), painted the spinners, and slapped on a Marushin Badge in the upper corner. sounds like a killer deal for $75.

    100 machines and counting...

    Welll... Yeah. And sometimes there is value in keeping things original... Not dirty, but worn. So you can "Express their history". Not someone's PS skillz...


    Or am I getting pachinko and classic cars confused again?

    Mona Lisa's kinda grungy... Some nice Mylar-covered 14400 dpi dye sub prints... Much more "Pop!"
