    Question Is this complete? Opinion please on vintage recycler

    A new listing came up on a Nishijin recycler. I don’t have one but would like one (and have to think about how to explain it to my husband but that is another story)

    They are asking $100. Looks like power is already done. Is it complete and worth the price? Thanks!

    the Model "A" look complete.. it would clean up nice..

    the circuit racer machine is a neat machine as well. but if its been plugged in direct to 110 it will take some work getting it working again.. if its got a transformer on the back side

    the Model "A" is better for home use.. but there easier to fined.. if ya can only get one, hope for the best and get the circuit racer

    missing covers are not a big deal..

    lots of hanging wires and wires that come and go from site.. neat machine.. worth a try if the price is right..

    The circuit racer is $50. All the hanging wires are cut off and hanging. It is filthy and looks like it may have been wet as well. The A is expensive due to it being a charity thing for a hospital. The circuit is intriguing but I don’t think I can do the work. Close to me though, so if anyone wants, I will ship.

    charity is great.. ya cant discount monies to a good cause..

    but the circuit racer would be my huckleberry.. and that one you can get the other kind of discount on.. condition condition condition.... $$$... the cabinet is crap and the stickers are pealing.. discount, discount.... throw the cabinet in the trash and order replacement stickers from Brother Rival

    I sent an email asking to buy the circuit. As the sumo one was a fiasco, I will use that case, glass etc. as it is in good condition.

    I picked up the A after a night of not sleeping... it really works well despite being dirty, so a nice clean and I will have a nice working machine. The seller polished the chrome, fixed the feet, the lights, and adjusted the pins. Aside from track filth, it is pretty good. Someone before him polished the brass, and sadly sprayed the playing field as you can see drip at the bottom, but when the door is closed, you don’t see it.

    One is going to my brother, so trying to be reasonable about my terrible new habit.

    Circuit boy is not answering...
    in the meantime, what is this devil of a thing and how do you remove it? What are the names of these horrid round h*ll holders? That is what I call them but google won’t let me find decent replacements.

    I tried prying up the sides, nope... loosening underneath, nope... it is driving me nuts as trash is falling out, including a nail. Oddly it worked.

    It is holding the feeder bucket on... so I have to get it off to clean all the cooties out. All my other ones were all screws.
    I heard from circuit guy... we shall see... where I can hide it.

    I managed to take the flat evil thing off and on. All clean.
    Not that I have a lot of experience (except trolling the pachinko museum and drooling), not run across these pockets? I thought the jackpot was broken but nope, they need 2 balls to set them off. Is that weird for a pocket?

    Pry the center up with a pick tool on those spring plates. Flaten with pliers before reinstall.

    The 2 hole pocket may just need a ball in either side. May have tracks behind to open 2 different tulips.

    reach under it with a pick and work the two tabs.. i flatten them back with a few lite taps of a hammer.. reinstall using a small socket.. the socket will apply even pressure allowing the center to rise up and slid down smoothly..
