1975 Nishijin "B" Restoration project and original manuals

[itary_skiier]

I purchased a 1975 (based on stickers) Nishijin "B" Super Deluxe Pachinko machine. The seller said it was most likely purchased in Korea around 76/77 through a military exchange. The unit had seen better days, hadn't worked in ~30 years but it did include all parts. My favorite part of this machine is the spelling of "Italy", including the fact that "Goal" is spelled correctly.

Replacement parts ordered:

• The plexiglas was replaced by 2 sheets from here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (Acrylicblank Clear Acrylic Sheet Sign Blank (16" x 16" (2 Pieces), 1/8" Thick Clear)) for $40 with tax.
• Pachinko Planet 3 pice 12vDC replacement light kit: http://pachinkoplanet.com/zencart/in...&products_id=9
• Pachinko Planet Rebound bumper tune-up kit: http://pachinkoplanet.com/zencart/in...roducts_id=124

I started with the power, as it didn't work. The lightbulb grommets were shot. The fuse wasn't blown, but it wouldn't push power through it. I decided to do the 12v upgrade kit since I wanted the lights to be nice and bright. After checking all the connections, some sanding on the fuse holder gave a solid connection.

I replaced the single plexiglas with a double since kids would play with it, and more protection the better. The sheets weren't too expensive, and made a HUGE difference.

I decided to do as good a pull apart as I could to clean each part individually. Lots of spiderwebs, stink bugs, balls where they shouldn't be, and 'other' things came out. I also replaced the staples with screws on the back. With the tips here, I took lots of photos as I went to ensure I could put it back together. Uploading here for reference for anyone else.
