Found This For Sale, Looking For Some Input

[sparky kilowatt]

I came across this Nishijin Model B for sale, looks like it's in pretty good shape, didn't see any rust or damage. I wish it was close by me, but it's a couple hour drive, can't make up my mind. What's interesting to me is the playfield attractions, at first I thought they were fish, but I don't think that's the case. I uploaded various screen shots of the attractions to Google images, but no luck. Can one of you shed some light on this machine?

Bells, not fish - looks like they swing once a ball enters their chambers.

I think they are bells. I have seen one of these before in similar condition. This is a very interesting machine.

Thanks, now it's obvious that they're bells. I figured they moved once a ball entered, I'm intrigued because it's different than the run of the mill tulips and pockets, but I'm not sure how unique it is. I've got 5 vintage machines right now, 2 still need to be gone through, the wife doesn't know where I'm going to put another, but hey, it's very tempting for $100.

Those “bells” look like Goldfish crackers to me…

There's always room for another. Neat machine. Thanks for sharing.

I saw this one the other day, but I think the one you're looking at is cooler.

Good thing that ones way too far north of me, the colors alone would have me running out to buy it!

Just zoomed in on the image and you're right, that machine has a pattern I don't think I've seen before. Am I imagining it or does it also have far more nails than most machines?

The machine is perfect for a Brass Nail Lover

Well I guess the decision of whether or not to purchase this has been made for me, it's been sold.

Update, found one today, posted over here, probably wrong forum as it's not "modern".

The acquisitions thread is for all pachi stuff!!

We probably should have a forum for threads like that with mixed pachi stuff in it!!
