First Machine - Nishijin Front Overflow 1970
Hello everyone!
Attached are images of my pachinko machine I bought at a flea market. It was really, really dirty (like, really dirty), missing glass in the front door, and the back was all boarded up.
I got it mostly cleaned up - my next project is to gather the courage to take the machine apart to properly clean it. Replacing the missing glass with acrylic on the door was easy. I discovered one of the previous owners attached a 9v converter in place of a battery when I opened the back. I kept this electrical feature as it only needed to be cleaned up to work. I also rewired the lights to turn the "low balls" light into a power light (the light stays on all the time when the unit is plugged in).
The unit is playable except the jackpot has to be manually switched. I suspect the mechanism has to be taken apart and cleaned because it "works" but the winning ball just isn't switching the jackpot regulator. Doing more research before taking it apart, though.
Thanks for letting me share!
