    Default Two vintage machines

    Hello to all, in response to a post by moparformance
    Here's what I have

    The first machine here is a sankyo. I purchased it from a pretty cool guy here in Omaha. He has quite a few and seems to really enjoy fixing them up. It's in awesome condition and works great!

    The second was acquired from a pinball store. It's in ok shape, it doesn't seem to enjoy paying out jackpots consistently. I think it just needs to be fully loaded in order to work correctly. It also could use a new bottom piece for the frame, as you can see it's leaning pretty bad.

    I did have three other before this that I traded towards a pinball machine. I had Sammy popeye (man that thing was loud!!!), I also had a nishijin front overflow that worked great, but was really waterstained. Then I had something that looked like a hodgepodge. It had toyomaru names on it, but the center seemed to be from another machine.


    I assume that I will acquire more machines but that's all for now.

    Hey Adam! Good to see you out here!

    I really like that center payout on that Nishijin! Very cool! Don't worry about that lean...we'll wood glue it, nail it and clamp! Worse case senario, we build a cabinet around it and it will be good as new!

    See you Thursday!

    You're also going to need the upper track cover on the rear of your Model "B" 3 Comic machine. It appears to be missing. If no one has one they will part with there are a couple members who make them and will get you fixed up!

    Well it looks like you got some nice machines there. What you have is about a 76 Sankyo and 73 Nishijin B.

    You do need the track cover for the model B. I have a few machines with a serious lean like that one as well. I end up making a new base for them and replace all the frame nails with screws & glue.

    100 machines and counting...

    I have a Sankyo and Nishijin myself. The Sankyo is a 1978 Hippo model. I bought it for 100 bucks in tremendous shape. No water damage whatsoever. Just a cleaning and some lights and she's good to go.

    I got a 1971 Nishijin "A" that was in a little rougher shpae that I recently did a playfield replacement on. She now looks as good as her younger sister.
