    Default Nishijin Pachinko, 1971, Super DX

    s-l1600 (1)_kindlephoto-637281168.jpg
    I have a Nishijin Pachinko, 1971, Super DX, that I am going to work on, I have extensive research on it, so I am planning to dismantle the game and rebuild it from ground up. I am also going to build a wall unit for it. Since it is suppose to be accessed from the front. I am going to restore the lock function, restore the wood, stain the wood, restore the playfield, the lighting will be revamped with a modern LED lights, power supply, fuses, micro switches, everything.

    It should be a interesting adventure. As you can see the playfield is faded and a chip in the top
    I have been documenting this on NLG, since I wasn't able to access this website for a couple of months.

    I made a key for the door lock.

    I am looking for a extra lock so I can have one key to fit everything, so I don't have to have several keys for the unit. I did the same for each of my slot machines, which is nice.

    I made a key for the door lock.

    I found a extra lock so I can have one key to fit everything, so I don't have to have several keys for the unit. I did the same for each of my slot machines, which is nice.

    While I was at it, I made a extra key for the project locks, both are keyed alike.
    It's not about just making the key to fit a lock, it's about presentation, the key looking really nice.

    The wiring, power, lights, fuses got a update, I am using a transformer built into the cabinet. I scrounged for parts. I used micro switches.

    The background looked like this when I was finished. If you compare the two you can see just how faded out the old one really is.

    Building the cabinet: I have a lot of heavy duty hardware, bracing inside of the cabinet. I have bevel the door a smidgen, this way it is a much nicer fit.

    I was able to disassemble the machine without any issues. I have the playing field board re-glued from age separation. The lower frame was not usable, so I fabricated another one. I cleaned all of the steel parts, and not paint them unless they are gross, I will maybe fabricate a couple of steel pieces that are damaged on the frame.

    So I was busy.

    I'm trying to work out the bugs. The tulip is a problem. I need to figure out what is going on, find a replacement, something.

    I can't remember exactly how it works, but once a ball opens it. It requires 2 balls to pass through it before it closes.

    If that helps you any, when figuring it out..
    What if...​the ​HOKEY POKEY, is what it's all about?

    I have found something on eBay, however the seller will not respond to my emails for more information on it.

    The play field was glued back together, it's solid. I painted behind the play field, it was dry and painting would seal it up.
    The door has three coats of paint after I got the wood cleaned up. I even painted the spacers.

    The door is set in place, door hardware is going on, the key lock is working smooth.

    Dry fit for the parts, installed alignment pins. I installed the angle bracket on the bottom of the door frame. Seems everything is custom fit and finish.
