    Default Good morning from MN!

    New member from MN! I plan to pick up my first pachinko machine today. I think it is a nishijin type b crab. He says it worked until they moved it and now it doesn't. Can't be that difficult to fix can it? I hope....lol!

    As above, I'm sure some clear pics of the back will enable the members here to see if anything appears to be missing or out of place

    We have some very knowledgeable members here and I'm sure they'll give you excellent advice

    OK....update! Got the machine, got it home it shot two balls. So i figured it had to work at least partially. I found something pink in the ball track.....earphone bud....works MUCH better after that is removed. I will post pics when I figure out how to do that. How are the lights powered? I see no battery (or place for one) and no power cord. There is a fuse which appears intact, but some of the wires are disconnected. I think I did pretty good for $50! It is a Nishijin Super Deluxe Sophia Crab....has small piece of trim missing from one of the front trays and the other appears to have a crack....but other than that, it all appears good..... Now. TO figure out how to build a cabinet. And get back to searching for another machine (the kids LOVE it)!

    Apparently one needs to use a computer to add pictures....I tried for hours from my phone! They are not flipped correctly, but that is more than I had time for this morning! This is my first machine....the hunt is on for the second (so I have a matching pair on the wall in the game room). I do need to figure out the battery thing, but I think it is doable after watching a few videos.

    beautiful machines! I have 2 of those guys. Yours is much nicer than both of mine! Congrats! Good buy! finding a 2nd one shouldn't be to hard craigslist is how I get the majority of my vintage machines. Sometimes their dirty nasty and need a good going through but most times can be had from 5 bucks to 50 bucks.

    Nice clean machine!!
    Do you know what looks better than a pair on the wall? How much empty space do you have?
