2 New to me Pachinko machines.

Hi All,

Will post some photos shortly. I have 2 machines that are in OK condition. Both are Nishijin machines. One I assume is newer 73' ish, since it has the brown plastic at the back. In the front it has a rotating cup and the cup moves to 1 of 3 positions if you win making winning not easy. It is a 2 light machine and has "Super Deluxe"

The other is a pre 73' since it has the clear plastic. Not too old since it is a three light. There are actually 2 lights for the "bonus". One lights slightly after the other creating a flash effect. It has "Super DX". Both are mechanically sound ... after a bit of work.

So the question is, I am planning to do some work on them, ie, add more LED lighting. Does this detract from their value ? Are they worth enough to even care ? Thoughts.

Mod away. Most of the 1970s machines are common models and don't have much value ($0-100), especially unrestored. If you've somehow gotten a special elec model in there it would be worth more, but it doesn't sound like that is the case.

Thanks for the welcome everyone. I have a quick question about the fuse block lugs. I am missing one of the screws to secure the wires. I have looked at putting in am M4 screw, but does not fit. I think the thread pitch is incorrect for it to work. Does anyone know what the correct thread pitch and size is ? Is there a replacement available ?
