    Default Nishijin something strange to me lol

    Just picked this up. Has an interesting feature on the right side. Seems that somehow a ball can get into this area and fall back to be reshot. Previous owner says that the star is supposed to travel down and back up when it encounters the ball. Not sure if it works yet. Is this something many Nishijin’s had? Still new to the hobby. Thanks in advance

    Nice looking machine, I'd love to see a video of this feature in action. I'm by no means an expert, but I've never seen it before.

    It’s a “Rolling stone” machine; a cool extra feature! Not super rare though; not common either.

    neat machine.. when they work there great.. bought a broken one with missing parts. getting the weight counter weight right was a total nightmare.. even with an original one for parts samples it was not fun

    DOH! You're tempting me. But the freight would kill me. And if it didn't, my wife would.

    If this had been 2 weeks ago I'd have jumped on it as we were up visiting in Sutter Creek, not too far from you.

    You should check out Parcelmonkee.com - Doesn't help with the wife problem but can keep your shipping expense down. They specialize in oversize packages, and saved me $75 on a Pachi shipment from Arizona to Florida in June.
    $175 from UPS and FedEx..$98 from parcelmonkee.com
    $42 from Indiana to Florida 2 weeks ago.

    Nice find on the rolling stone. These are fun machines. We have restored a couple of them over the years. Below are before & afters of 2 that I could quickly find pictures of. I feel like we might have another one of these machines in our inventory but I can't say for certain, just too many to keep track of.

    Yeah the weight can be quite tricky to setup, that string very often breaks. I think I recall me posting something a while back on how to fix that (2011-2012 time frame).

    100 machines and counting...
