Beginner looking for Nishijin Super Deluxe restoration advice

[aoc924]

Tonight I picked up my first pachislot machine (Yajikita) and the seller very graciosuly included my first pachinko machine for free as well. I see it is a Nishijin Super Deluxe. The machine has definetly seen better days but I am thankful to finally have one. That said I was wondering what the honest practicality of restoring a pachinko machine like this. The metal is all completely rusted and the wiring seems to be in disarray but I don't really know what I am looking at. Hoping you guys can point me in the right direction!

Welcome!

Congratulations on your first vintage pachinko. The rust is a bit of a challenge, but you can try some 4/0 steel wool and see what you get, worst case scenario, you could always paint it. The back looks fairly intact to me, the dangling orange wire goes to the leaf switch on the right side for the jackpot lights. The only significant piece missing may be the track cover, but fortunately they're pretty easy to get. I think you may be missing a cover for the jackpot arm, but it doesn't affect the game being played, so it's not a deal breaker.

Edit to post above.....Looking closer at the dangling orange wire, it's still attached to the leaf switch for the jackpot light, the other end most likely needs to go to the back of the fuse block, soldered to where the other orange wire connects on the back of the fuse block.

Here's a picture of how mine is connected.
