Nishijin Pachinko Awards
Hi there! Been soaking up all the information so far, and this is my first post. Thanks a million for the amazing wealth of info you lot share.
Not too long ago I was able to fullfil a lifelong dream and bought my first pachinko machine, which is this exact one here:
Nishijin Pachinko Awards
Needs some work as it doesn't pay out, but all other functions seem to work well aside from a couple of ball pockets that don't seem to do anything. Balls jam frequently due to non-payout.
I was wondering: does anyone know the name of the guy in the center, or the possible year on this machine? He's still a Nishijin character so I'm thinking he's probably got a name. The few tags on the machine don't have dates.
Not long after buying this machine I met johnnynormal510 and purchased a Nishijin 60s machine from him. That's since expanded to another 60s Nishijin and this week will bring a 60s Sanyo, again from johnnynormal. Thankfully my wife is not phased at all by my obsessions and likes the idea of a couple in the house and a few more in the band studio / game room, so I can probably get one more before I need to start sneaking them in.
Cheers!
