First restoration effort for Nishijin Model A - need help
I have a Nishijin Model A which based on research appears to be an early 70s model which has been in our family since I was a kid. My plan is to restore this machine.
This machine is in poor shape. The chrome around the play area is heavily pitted, play area has water damage, tulips and spinners have rust.
For the chrome are there replacement parts or will I need to have the chrome rechromed?
Should I replace the background of the play area?
I also noticed this layout only has 2 tulips. I was wondering if this was some customization and this layout should include three tulips? If so, should I keep the play area the way it is, or correct and add an additional tulip?
Attached are a few pictures.P1140906.jpgP1140912.jpgP1140907.jpg
Any guidance is appreciated.
