    Default My first restoration.

    Hi I just picked up my first pachinko machine yesterday from a swap meet for $15. I don't know a whole lot about pachinko machines, but do find it rather interesting. I've done alot of similar projects, like building my own arcade cabinet, and thought a restored pachinko machine would look very nice next to it and be naturally be pretty fun to play with. I think it will also make a neat conversation piece during parties when someone inevitably ask me "What's with the weird pinball machine?"

    But like I said I don't know a whole lot about pachinko machines. Reading some of the threads and looking at articles and videos online, I'm guessing this is a Nishijin Model B. But that seems to be all I can tell. I've included some pictures of it, and plan to update as the project moves along. I'll also probably ask a bunch of stupid,really obviously answered questions, because I'm sorta thick. So please bear with me.
