Nishijin "B" NFL Football - Tulip Question

[ad2435]

Thanks for the help!! There are 3 slots in the center feature / NFL field (left, center, right). There was debris in them. Cleaned and they work fine. The left slot opens the left tulip, the right opens the right tulip and the center opens the two center tulips.

I bought the machine last week for $30. No balls and had been in a garage unboxed for years. I ended up taking a bit of it apart for cleaning. Cleaned/adjusted electrical switches, replaced bulbs, made a base for it, replaced broken plexiglass, adjusted door lock, replaced deteriorated bumper and did a fair amount of cleaning. I am more of a pinball and slot machine person but have a masamura pachinko since the 70's (my next project).

The most expensive part of the project is the balls. 750 balls and rubber bumper was about $75 shipped from vintagepinball. They sure are proud of their balls. LOL

For the very dirty ball trays and metal I used Novus 2 cleaner. Otherwise I use Novus 1. Playfield had discoloration by nails before I worked on it.

Here is what I put into it:

30 machine
75 balls / bumper
6 wood
7 plexiglass
1 screws
5 battery parts

124 total + about 6 hours including wood staining. It will be kept in the family.

Thanks for the help!
