    This surfing theme “special electric” model C is the only one I’m aware of (not mine) and it’s ultra rare… Super Don level of rarity… Good luck with your search!

    I’ve never seen that one either! Too bad the picture is kinda blurry. Doesn’t seem nearly as common as most other center features. In a perfect world, the other special electric one with moving surfboards would be the one I’d really want to get my hands on if somebody had both and I could only pick one surfing theme vintage Nishijin. Extremely unique design!

    Might help if you post a top price you’re willing to pay for said machine to hopefully entice a reluctant seller? If either one was mine I’d be demanding a hefty premium over a generic center feature type machine… especially that special electric one….

    Rarity doesn't always mean value.

    True, I’m sure most people wouldn’t pay more than a “regular” pachinko for a special electric; but then again I’m not most people. Sometimes you have to pay up to get a rare machine with multiple motivated potential buyers, like an arrange ball for example… or else someone else will!


    Just putting this out there, If anyone has this model I’ll pay $300 (plus shipping) for a 100% working special electric surfing machine in decent shape.


    As for the other non-special electric surfing one; agreed, rare but still worth more (to a collector; not Joe Shmoe) in my humble opinion; I have no doubt it would sell for over $200 on eBay in decent shape (IF you could even find one for sale) . I’ve already got plenty of model Cs anyhow so not interested in those, unless somebody wants to give me one!
