    Default Wang_Jinxi: Christmas 2019 Nishijin Pachinko s

    I only meant to buy a single Nishijin for Christmas but went from ZERO to TWO in the space of a few days. I have to STOP or I won't have any place to put them! ^_^

    They are both 1973 Nishijin Model B's. One on the left is the Nishijin "Love" that I bought first before discovering and purchasing a 1973 Nishijin "Ladybug". The "Ladybug" machine is distinctly unusual with the "ladybug" and "snail" pockets. I bought them so that my children and grandchildren would so something other than cell phone gaming and internet media streaming (which is OK but I'm kind of old school).

    I got lucky and didn't need to tear them down to fix. They both needed cleaned and removed the dead bugs and dirt out of the internals. I did nnotice that the "ladybug" and "snail" pockets were a little sticky which appears to be a common issue with this model. Guess I'll have to do more cleaning. Made a couple of wooden feet for the "ladybug" and re-inforced the bottom board to correct for too much "back lean". The chrome is a little rough on the window frame of the "Love" machine which is easily fixed with chrome etching spray, metallic chrome paint and a few coats of clear-coat.

    The family is hooked on pachinko. My wife sneaks into my room at 11PM and I hear *plink*, *plink*, *ching-ching-ching* in the dark. My grandkids are turning in their pachinko ball winnings to me in exchange for small prizes. Even the most shy family members silently move closer to these machines to flick the lever a few times and you CAN'T stop flicking the lever a few times.

    I am AMAZED that they work without electricity. Brilliant design! Connecting power and switching incandescent to LED lights was a snap. For my next trick I will install some 5-12V LED light strips to light the board and flash during payout. I even love the motto "It's a beatiful day"

    Many, MANY thanks to "PachiTalk" contributors and your articles and your pictures! Incredibly helpful!

    Happy Holidays to All
