    Default Another "Texan"

    Howdy y'all:

    As son of an Army Major we moved arouns a lot. My dad bought a pachinko machine for my brother that he still has somewhere. I saw one at an estate sale this weekend and decided it was worth a gamble so I put an offer on it. It was sold as-is, not working and all that. I had it working (mostly) in a few minutes and then went on line to try and fing out how to make the balls auto load. That's how I found this forum.

    Response to my first inquiry was fast and accurate! Wow. Truns out my basic research was off and I have a "B" model (still trying to figure out what that really means though.) My play field is a 50-11 with ducks swimming and the center attraction is of either a trampoline or a diving board. It says "Jump" It is a little dirty and some water stoning, but should clean up okay.

    Well, I am enjoying futzing with it and my three year old has discovered it. Now I have to push the lever in the back to load balls for her while she plays. Turns out - she knew just how to "fix" it.

    Looking forward to getting it all purdy and into a cabinet.

    First. to Pachitalk

    What you have there is an Early 1975 Nishijin Model B (acrobatics or jump).

    If you have any questions just let us know.
