    Many people stop playing their Pachinko machines because they no longer operate correctly. Over the years, dirt, rusty balls, and misuse can render a machine useless. Pachinko Tune Up can take your dirty, tired machine and give it new life. We only recondition Model B Nishijin machines. If you don't know if your machine is a model B Nishijin machine, refer to the picture below. If your machine looks similar (color of plastic parts may vary) to the picture, you have a model B Nishijin. Remember, we will pay up to $50.00 for a vintage Pachinko machine in good condition!

    Standard Reconditioning Services

    We will:

    Look over the machine and advise the customer of any problems.
    Disassemble the entire machine.
    Clean all plastic and metal parts.
    Remove rust from metal parts.
    Polish all chrome surfaces.
    Clean the playfield and polish all heads on ball pins.
    Lubricate all moving parts.
    Clean the wood surfaces.
    Reassemble machine replacing any rusted screws and bolts.
    Replace staples with screws.
    Test machine for proper operation.

    Optional Services and cost

    Paint the machine frame (inside and out) $20.00
    Replace or install the electrical system $30.00-$40.00 depending on system
    Includes:
    New bulbs and holders
    New wiring
    New micro switches
    Mounting hardware
    Replace front glass or plexiglass with new plexiglass $20.00
    Support feet (includes hardware) $20.00

    Install variable voltage supply $20.00
    Install battery holder and battery connector $5.00

    What does the reconditioning cost?

    Our standard reconditioning service will cost $275.00. This will include any hardware replaced during the process. Each customer will receive a free copy of our Pachinko Pro ebook. If there are broken or missing parts on your machine, we might not be able to find replacements. Costs for replacement parts will vary. The customer will be responsible for shipping (including insurance) both ways. Any of our additional services will be in addition to the standard reconditioning cost.

    How long will the process take?

    Normally, the reconditioning process will take between 30 and 40 hours. This time could be spread over a few weeks. We will complete machines on a first come first serve basis. We are usually busy, so schedule your machine as soon as possible!

    How do I get my machine reconditioned?

    First, email us requesting the service. We will ask you to email or mail us detailed pictures of your machine so we can let you know if there will be any problems reconditioning the machine. Then, you will have to prepare your machine for shipping. See our "Shipping Your Machine" page. Once we receive your machine, and get a closer look, we will email you an evaluation of the machine and give you an estimated delivery date. We will email you pictures of the machine as the reconditioning progresses. Once the machine is complete, we will send you an invoice for the service and return shipping. When we receive payment, we will ship the machine.

    looks like someone else has started a business of it, like vintage pachinko, but only on nishijin B's

    the site is pachinkotuneup.com they are the ones selling the reconditioned sophia B's for $280 on ebay.

    their website reads a lot like the vintage pachinko one. I wonder if they copied a bunch of it?
