    I am looking at 2 machines one is a mizuho the other is a nishijin. Both from the 60s or 70s need to know if one is easier to work on or the other. Is parts and information is more avalible.

    Start with a really good Pachinko Tool kit is : Pliers various , Screw drivers various, 91% alcohol , Q tips ,microfiber cloths, Miracle Cloth, Simple Green cleaner. And that's just the start.
    When things don't go right the 1st time , Step back ,Take a break and come back renewed. RGS

    if possible post a few good pics of the machines here before you buy.. i'm sure we can help ya spot possible broken or missing parts.. the better the pictures the better opinions we can offer..

    Both Mizuho and Nishijin made great vintage machines.. condition, condition, condition is everything

    I am posting callenged ,however I have had Nishijin machines in the past. I know a little about both of these type machines. I know they are complete. I know they are both working, not including the electrics. The Mizuho is rebuilt but will cost me more. The Nishijin needs refreshing but is operational.
