Nishijin Roulette Machine

[MagicDan]

Just acquired this Nishijin Model C machine know as "Roulette". I'll begin the tear down/restoration process tomorrow.

I bought mine from Bill Cardwell of Vintage Pachinkos.

Good news! The Roulette machine is done and working perfectly! I did a full restoration on it. Thanks to Bill Cardwell for the new side label.
This machine was imported into the United States in 1979 and sold to a buyer in Fort Worth, Texas. He paid $95 for it! Also got 300 balls for $8. I found the original receipt stapled to the frame. A number of years ago, he traded the machine to Bill Cardwell of Pachinko Restorations. I purchased it from Bill a month ago. I paid substantially more than $95!
I made two videos. One longer one that highlights the restoration and function of the machine. A shorter one just shows the Roulette feature in action.
I now have four of the Special Electrics that are restored and fully functional. Power Flash, Circuit, UFO and Roulette. Still looking for the others that I know are out there. Do you have one?

Nice! Do you have videos of the Circuit or UFO?

Search on YouTube for “Dan Welch Pachinko”. I have over 100 pachinko videos posted on all
of the machines I’ve restored. And yes the UFO and Circuit are there!

I do have one--the locomotive theme, D51, I believe. It works perfectly as far as I can tell, with progressive lights and solenoid controlled opening arms. Stickers could be replaced, but it's all there.

Gorgeous roulette machine. I certainly want one.

Thanks for the kind words!
Is your locomotive something you want to part with?
Pictures?

Looks amazing, Dan. Great work, as usual.

[MrGneiss]

Wow, looks great!!

Most are Model B style machines with a manual launch system although the Roulette Machine is a Model C. (Still manual)

Not sure I would part with it. I'd have to think that over.

I will dig it out over the next couple weeks and take some pictures.

[MagicDan]

Let me know. I’m interested in purchasing! ��

[machgo]

Still trying to find it so I can dig it out for pictures. I had a post here about it, with pictures, but I can't find it...the post, that is...
