    Nice model C. Build year is 1978. The center on it is kinda cool. I haven't seen one like that before. You also got it at a great price.

    If you have any questions about it let us know. And once again welcome to PT.

    i thought it was pretty cool too. i didnt know the theme before i met the guy to buy t but i was pleased. i took a closer pic of the center so you could take a better look if ya wanted. the leg and the arm come together when a jackpot hits. i touched up the paint a bit and shot a little polyurathane on it so its got alittle glare in the pic. also as you can see in the pic ive hit some of the nails with my wire bruch drimel but is there amother maybe easier better wat to clean them?

    There is sorta an easier way to clean them.

    First you need to make a trip to ace and find something called MAAS metal polish. It comes in like a chrome tube with a dark gray cap. It works absolutely excellent on brass. Oh and it is a pink paste type polish.

    Once you get that get a clean cotton cloth or an old shredded T-shirt. Blob a little on the cloth and rub the nail heads wait a few minutes and wipe off with a clean portion of the rag. Also if you feel like it you can polish the nail shafts. You just need a wide shoelace. here again blob some on; wrap lace around nail shaft; pull back and forth; wipe clean.

    Oh and WEAR GLOVES the whole time. The oils in your fingers accelerate the tarnishing of the nails. Trust me you wouldn't believe how fast they will turn dark brown again. And all that work will be for nothing.

    Any questions just ask.

    I clean the brass nails with one of these: Miracle Polishing And Cleaning Cloth . The original Miracle Cloth which has proven to out clean and polish any other product.

    I buy them on eBay or Amazon and they last a pretty long time. Very easy to use - just rub on the nail heads until they shine, then buff with an old cotton T-shirt. I have not seen the nail heads tarnish again on any of the machines I have cleaned with one of these over the past 3 years.

    16" X 16"

    Don't know where you saw 19" that is way too big. Not even a model A has glass that big.

    If you have a toddler running about I would suggest buying plexi-glass instead of real glass as it won't shatter as easily and it costs a little less usually.

    Every machine I have worked on has a different size glass. The best thing to do is measure the track where the glass will sit. On Nishijin machines, most are 16x16, but not all. Some are 16x15.5.

    You really need to measure to make sure you get the correct size.
