    Default Can someone tell me the year of my Nishijin Model B?

    Can someone assist me with the year of my Nishinjin Model B? It has Its a beautiful Day on the name plate and it also has the Super Deluxe on it. Also Any chance someone with a key for this could upload a pic of it so I have something to take to the locksmith. I have removed the lock from the machine. So far I have cleared several jams, fixed the wiring and converted to 12 volt LED bulbs.

    a clear pic of this sticker will tell you the date... i would say 1974 or so


    these are the key styles my locksmith has used before

    1973 Nishijin Model B (Jester)

    Also here is a thread I made a while ago about rekeying the locks.

    http://www.pachitalk.com/forums/show...=nishijin+lock

    Just be careful cause the pot metal the cylinder is made of is kinda brittle.

    Also forgot to mention in that post you also need to remove the groove on the lock cylinder. And file it so it is a hair wider.

    I don't know what happened. I tried to include a picture in my reply, but got a ton of text/machine commands instead of the picture.

    Not sure if the pictures I uploaded are going to show here (I don' see them where I'm typing) my last attempt was a disaster! Pictures of the date code, lock cylinder, and both sides of the key. My machines use a blank that fits 1940 Ford.

    Thumbnails came through! In the first thumbnail I sent, the date is circled in green. The number "51" is the year. Add 25 to it to get the standard calendar year, and in this case the year is 1976. You should see similar numbering on your machine. Just add 25 to the year number.

    Here is my stickers. I didn't see what you were referring too for the date. The only thing on mine that matched yours was the 239 2 thing.

    I can't read from the picture that is attached, but the blue figure that's at the far right should have the numbers.

    You can get the angled ones working exactly the same. You just have to cut the lock cylinder so it is a straight slot.

    That is a different type of lock. Those are easy to make keys for as you just dump the pins out and then any straight object will turn the lock.

    Outstanding!!! Mine had the 49-12 tax stamp, it was made in 1973 and expired in December of 1974.
