    Default Hello all. New guy here, Lobofox is what you can call me.

    My family got this Pachinko machine when I was a kid in the 70's from our Japanese exchange students and I decided it needed some love and restoration. I'll post pics as soon as I figure out how but its a Nishijin Shiroi Kamome Super DX with a pirate/island theme on the play field pieces. It has lights and an all 15 in the upper right corner that lights up. For a little technical history about my background, I worked at an arcade as a second job for almost ten years and am proficient in repairing pinball machines and arcade cabinets and custom building computers. I figure this will be a fun way to get back into it. Besides my old man is always saying he wants to fix it up for the grandkids so this will be a good gift to him since hes got endless projects around the house already. I will be likely asking tons of questions and picking brains so thanks in advance for the answers and patience lol!

    Greetings and Thanks!

    Lobo

    Shes pretty clean, mostly dust in the works, still shoots balls and I have an entire well of the original steel it came with along with the cardboard box to catch them in. Gonna get a rock tumbler to polish the balls, hit a hardware store for 2 panes of tempered glass,(unless there's a better recommend out there), get the qtips and the neverdull for the brass pins out and start polishing. I was thinking about using pinball wax on the playfield once I've cleaned it to preserve the original artwork and allow for slick play. Thoughts? Oh this machine came from an actual parlor in Japan, one of the exchange students either worked at it or their parents owned it.
