And then there were 12... pic heavy

[Amedbery]

With the help of Jodini, I have come to own 12 machines, with no plans of quitting anytime soon! Check my want list in the market...
I am really after variety, I like the look of all the different brands.
Here is what I have. They aren't all vintage, but primarily, so I picked here to post it.
First up, Daiwa single shot. I really like this one, and hope to get more single shots. I can't understand why I like them more, but I do.

Next is a Nishijin B three comic. I think the term is 'loose'. This thing pays out soo much, there are a lot of win opportunities.

Nishijin powerflash. background replaced by Jodini. Looks fantastic!

Kyoraku super early modern. I like the siren it has.

Maruhon vintage.

Daiichi Tom and Jerry. First modern since I sold my Popeye last fall. I love it!

Here's the next six!
Daiichi Derby, I am having trouble procuring a piece of glass for it, can't seem to nail down the correct dimensions.
Wiring the lights has also been a challenge for me.

Heiwa tiger, I posted about this one in another thread..

Sankyo golden finger

Daiichi new vanguard. Interesting because it doesn't have a hinge to open up like the others. Probably meant for home use

Nishijin B, just your average super deluxe..

And on the bench right now, a Ginza! I think it's a cool machine. I'm in the middle of cleaning it up.

And this is my current setup. 6 can be up and running at any given time. I got the table when a local retail store went out of business years ago. Really wish I could get another like it. Very sturdy.

I plan to build cabinets in the near future, so they can all line up on a wall. I think it'd be really cool.

Anyway. thanks for looking and check out my want post.

Nice collection you've got there, thanks for sharing it.

I've never measured the glass dimensions on a Daiichi with the sloped front door myself, and at the moment I can't dig one out, but I'm sure someone else will be here soon to help you out.

I have a few of the sloped front door Daiichi's and the upper front ball tray door doesn't open on any of them, they're all fastened to the frame with screws. Why they would build them that way, I don't know, as you would think that would be an area the operator would want to get at for maintenance. I think they were parlour machines versus a home use item, although I could be wrong ... Once I thought I was wrong but was only mistaken!!!

There was a posting on the forum here somewhere that the same centre features were likely sold to different manufacturers. You have a Nishijin Three Comic and here's a photo of a Daiichi with the sloped front door that I have stored away:

it might be better to take off the door and take it with you to the glass shop??
