First Machine
I just got hold of my first machine. Based on my 30 minutes of research I think it's a Nishijin Model A. I went to a wedding shower for my daughter and the host had an awesome gameroom. We exchanged stories about the arcade machines we each have. I mentioned I wanted my next project to be a pachinko. I remember playing them in Florida while on vacation back in the 70's. He said he had one that had been packed away since he was stationed in Japan in the early 70's. I said let me know if you ever want to get rid of it. He showed up at the wedding with the machine and said I was the first one to ask about in 35 years. Now the fun begins!
I've dropped some balls through the trays to see how things work and so far can't get any balls to feed back to the shooting lever. I've already started reading everything I can find. Pictures are posted. I'm sure I'll have many silly questions before this over.
