Hi, new owner of 2 Nishijin machines
Up until about 2 weeks ago, I had never even seen a Pachinko machine. I didn't even know what one was to be honest.
I spotted these machines on a local classifieds and figured what the heck...
They appear to be from the 70s, and I have placed one at 1974 based on it's ticket numbers and vintagepachino.com's chart.
The other I'm not sure on, as it's missing that sticker/ticket but I'm fairly certain just looking at it that it's from around the same time.
I've already taken most of the pieces off the front for cleaning on this machine. This is the one missing it's sticker/ticket that I can't guage the age on it.
This one's ticket/sticker makes it appear to be from 1974. It say's "Sophia" on the plastic in the back. My camera flash covers the jackpot area, but it's a birds face with the eyes as "Spinners" and the tongue as a through point.
I've been lurking here a bit, and doing as much reading as I can. I only have 6 balls that were found in the machines, but that actually helped me manually figure out how they work as I had to release the balls that fell into winning pockets.
It's fun with 6 balls, I can't wait until the 500 I ordered get here and I'm finished cleaning these up!
