new here. generally collect lighters and smoking stuff and mil. surplus. i have had this machine for 7-8 years, hence the dust on the back. i know it is a newgin and think it is vintage(?) can anyone expound on the little that i think i know? thanks, rick

dated 1979 (that is the date it was removed from the Parlor)

Welcome Aboard

Great looking machine.

Personally, I can't help you much with the C/early modern, but it sure is pretty.

[teachermaniac]

Also, I've seen the brand before, but mainly in old moderns. I have a Godzilla old modern from the same manufacturer (thx John)

Welcome to the site that never closes 24/7/365 !!

Measure the door frame around the playfeild and get a sheet of lexan cut to size and go to one of the fine vendors who are members and get about 500 pachinko balls and of course go to the food store and pick up some of those Glad Containers that they sell in packs of 4 for to catch the balls dropping down from the bottom chute in back .

Then go to radio shack and get a 9 vdc battery and a 9v battery clip and holder and hook it up to those orange terminals to check if the little lights still work .


More to follow.

if u dont mind.. where u located??

[trickyrick]

lights work but i had to go through the prongs on the female plug end. one seems to stay lit and when contactor is touched together the other lights. could not operate the other 2 switches as i didn't have enough hands

I like the subtle touch of cobwebs in the back . using the 9v battery hooked up will help you troubleshoot the wiring .

the lights work independent from each other.. one if for when u win a jackpot.. the other is for when u upper ball hopper is low on balls


to make that machine work your going to need a few hundred balls.. to play it your going to need 500 at the mininum.. 750 or more would be better..

if u could take a picture of the lower left side of the back it would be a help to see what is going on..

[trickyrick]

when i got it it had a 110 volt cord hooked up to it. chances are it is the switches that the plastic arm hits. i took it off the machine so i could follow the strips between the switches, fuse, lights etc. i have 3 wires. w,r,and bl. seems like white is common and runs through fuse the r and bl each run to an individual light thru a switch then there is the contact strip. not knowing whether the circuits are normally open or normally closed is the issue. are lights on and blink, off and light up etc? ya beat me to it...lol

[takethecastle57]

Do Not Plug It Into Any Wall Socket 9 vdc transistor radio battery is good enough

[Moparformances]

the light for the jack pot will stay one for a short time with the machine pays a jackpot.. a kinda long blink

the other light is for when the upper ball hopper is empty.. it will come on when the hopper is low and stay one till it is refilled..

i have posted a few videos on how Nishijin machine's work.. your machine is a bit different but if u watch the you tube Videos u may get some good insite as to how your machine should work... the prinicapls of a vintage pachinko is kinda unaversal..

well its universal in my oppinion

this one should help ya the most but check them all out

and as stated this machine was built to opperate on 10 volts... a 9 volt is a great powersource

lower left side of back


light circuit board. the 2 orange terminals i was instructed to connect to battery earlier both go to different legs on the same switch. from the inside they are designated by the 2 philips screws. obviously this switch works some other light or electric component either outside of the machine or elsewhere in the machine. if i have no balls, that is why the one light would be on, correct? and the contactor probably signifies a win, correct?

[trickyrick]

when i got it, the cord was hooked up to the 2 orange terminals and the fuse was blown, luckily. above i said that i took "it" off the game...i meant the light board, as the cord was removed long ago.
