    Default Waifu girl Model A recycler

    I’ve had the itch to do another restoration; but this time with a custom modern spin to my favorite non-solenoid Nishijin; the model A recycler. I got it cheap from trading a machine I had $33 in. So now it’s 100% fully restored and not another one in the world!

    I’m sure the purists will cringe; but I’m loving this one! It was a base model with not so interesting center feature; but you never notice the center feature with this particular playfield art!

    I would have probably used s slightly different image and made use of the centre feature spinner

    Great work.

    Very nice, probably the only way you'd get me to keep any of the vintage machines I have had at any point.

    I bought it off of an eBay vendor in China who prints vinyl car hood wraps. I asked them to make a smaller size than a normal car hood size. It‘s one of their many different designs of wraps they sell. It’s the same high quality vinyl the replacement playfields from other vendors are made of; just about $10 more expensive. Very good printing and colors though.

    I’ve already got my hands on another dirty model A with badly faded background and boring center feature; perfect for the next one in the series; I’ll tear it down soon; while my model A restoration techniques/skillz are still fresh on the mind from doing the last one.

    Gotta love the model A and it’s recycling abilities!

    Yeah Corti in the anime spends most of her time as a loli character. This art is from the VN and the related artbook. This picture is abit spicy, but it's considered an all ages game, so this is as bad as it gets.. lol

    I’m not quite done with this one yet! I’ve ordered one of those vintage parlor winning ball counter accessories specifically made for model A from Japan, for a more authentic parlor like experience and maximum pachinko nerd appeal.

    I’ve seen other lucky model As that still had one attached; but they seem pretty rare.

    where would this go on the Model "A" machine?? for what?? i can see it modified to work on a "B" machine where every winning ball is dropped threw its separate chute.. but an "A" machine recycles most everything and the only ball dump is after total overflow.. even the over flow stops during a win cycle..

    little help.. guess i can see the forest threw the trees
