Completed Resto Nishijin Model B "Bells" Theme
Just finished doing a restoration on this machine I picked up back in January at an estate sale, kind of intrigued by the side attractions, does anybody know what they're called? Very fun to play!
Imagine my surprise when I found out the ball tray was gray, I thought it was just white that had yellowed.
Here's a short video of the side attractions in action.

Looking sharp!Well done!
Re: Completed Resto Nishijin Model B "Bells" Theme
Nice work.
I believe most call them side tross
Re: Completed Resto Nishijin Model B "Bells" Theme
A very nice example! I have, I believe, the same machine. But one of the side flipper things sticks on mine...
How do yours work?
Re: Completed Resto Nishijin Model B "Bells" Theme
Both of mine are working, but I did disassemble and clean everything, polished the plastic & brass, then put a little carnauba wax on the moving pieces to ensure they didn't stick.Originally Posted by machgo
One of them was missing a small brass weight that would would help it reset its self, so I added 3 #4 washers (see picture circled in red), seems to help it reset more smoothly.

Thanks, I'd heard the term before and read about them on this forum, but the ones pictured looked different than mine, so I wasn't sure if that's what these were.Nice work.

I like mechanical things, so the Rube Goldberg like movements that occur when a ball lands in one, then two rotate open as well as a tulip opening really appealed to me.

Exactly! Every time I look at it, first thing I see is a goldfish cracker, then I see the clapper for the bell.It's a Goldfish Cracker pachinko machine before they started making the cracker !
