Nishijin Super DX Model B Restoration
This will be the 3rd machine that I restore and I am planning on doing a full teardown, clean, and rebuild on it, ala - Dan at Magic Pachinko Restorations. I though this may be fun for the community to watch and helpful for others and myself to document. Here you see 4 pictures of the machine as I received it. I paid $40 for the machine. It looks complete but very neglected.

The first thing I am going to do is tear down, clean, and rebuild the frame. So I took the machine out of the frame.

Right now the frame is in 4 pieces and all the hardware on the frame has been removed. I cleaned up the wood from the frame and glued and clamped some splits. It's looking pretty good so far. I am in the process of cleaning the hardware and this weekend I will sand and oil the wood of the frame. So far I have spent 4 hours on this restoration.
