looking for a part for this machine

[nwichtoski]

Hello, i used to be on this site a couple of years ago but got consumed by life and faded away. lol

Anyway im back again, i love this site so much info and advice. Thanks to all.

I have a machine that im trying to bring back to life and its missing what i would call a jackpot ball return tray. Is there someone out there that has on that i could

purchase one from that would match as close as possible, im not doing this for resale purposes its juat a hobby/collection that i got hooked on at the age of 9, now 37.

I have 14 machines currently and always looking for more. lol

Thank you for any help. Nick20160113_193228.jpg

The only machine that i have that doesn't work is the wrong manufacturer, unfortunately.

Man O Man I just did a craglist search in Iowa for Pachinkos and it is pretty slim pickings . Here in Northern California I have more of a selection .

Struggle is pretty hard in central Illinois as well, very sorry but I don't have that part :-(

I have a front ball tray from a Nishijin. It was broken from an overpriced, underrepresented machine. I fixed it with epoxy. It is functional, but you can see the repair. Not sure if it will fit (probably will), but if you PM me with your address...I will send it to you for free.
And...WELCOME BACK to pachitalk!

Well here is an updated pic of what i have got done on this machine. I cleaned the playing field, polished all nail heads using a technique from the site. i used polish instead of steal wool so much more effective. ( thanks so much)20160117_090455.jpg

This one could use a playing replacement due to staining but i am not sure im ready to tackle that job yet, lol

Spare a thought for me here in New Zealand - about 1 - 2 vintage machines get advertised on the local auction website here PER YEAR

I've even entertained the idea of getting a machine shipped from west cost of USA but all up costs about $5-600 NZD which is just too much.

Hey! A jazz singer machine -- we have one of those at a thrift shop up here. Front tray is on it, but busted in the middle.
