    Default Hello all, looking for advice and direction

    Wel I have been doing a little reading and I am the new owner of a nishijin 51-21 which is the fishies background. It is in need of quite a bit of restore work but all within my capabilities and I'm sure most of my questions will answered with the forum. My first question pertains to the center attraction guy, I have seen a few different ones for the 51-21 but can't find mine.20170320_192839.jpg

    Looks like a koi and a prawn with feet on the sticker above the waves. I can re paint the plastic if I can find a pic of the colors but the sticker I will need to replace.

    Thanks in advance for your support.

    Hello Randy and welcome to the group

    I happen to have the same center attraction but on background #51-23, more like colored blobs or bubbles I guess. I found this picture a few years ago for maybe fixing up mine someday. The one I have is a little worse than yours. I hope this helps

    I would be willing to bet that is the background I am supposed to have. I wonder what its called.

    The Fishies background does not have the tulip directly below the center attraction yet mine does.
    I have peeled it off and disassembled it. Do you have a larger photo of the full background.

    Thanks

    Many of the parts and backgrounds on these machines were changed up creating an untold amount of variations.

    This is a picture of my machine with background #51-23. I don't know the name of this graphic.

    This is the one I found online with background #51-21, fishies. (the blueish tint looks to be just the lighting)

    This is #51-21 as a replacement for sale by Pachinko Planet (member here named Rival) if you want to restore it yourself.

    That's the playfield graphic I was planning on ordering but was concerned as you have shown one with a tulip in the center and pachinko planet has a different design. My playfield board has the tulip hole cut out. So the one you showed would be more appropriate. I am trying to avoid cutting a hole in a graphic.

    Chances are you will have to cut all the holes, most if not all graphics are most likely full size without the cut outs.
