    Default what makes a Sophia a Sophia

    i see the term pop up and used for all Nishijin model backs (recyclers to later versions) - what is the main distinguishing feature of a Sophia?

    That's the name of the company, Sophia Nishijin company. So, I guess that's why.

    Sophia is the name of the manufacturing company and Nishijin is the name of the sales company.

    The original company Sophia develops and manufactures pachinko / pachislot machines and hall peripherals.

    Sophia Co., Ltd.
    http://www.sophia-net.co.jp/

    The spin-off company Nishijin handles the sales of the game machines and their replenishment equipment.

    Nishijin Co., Ltd.
    http://www.nishijin.co.jp/

    All Nishijin machines were made by Sophia.
