Those model A recyclers are a great first machine. The chrome work doesn't look to bad either.

I saw those for sale about an hour away on FB last week; I’d say they are worth $25-50 each to somebody like me; maybe more to somebody who really wants one and doesn’t want to wait for one in better condition to pop up. I say that because I recently bought a 72’ Nishijin spring jet in nearby Greensboro for $25 a couple weeks ago. It works; but was terribly faded and ugly which is common.

It’s getting a full restore so I’ve already got over $200 in supplies and tools in it and 40+ hours labor so far. It’s going to be a show piece though soon enough! Good luck with those; they look complete, good restoration candidates!


Vintages don’t normally sell for much locally around here unless it’s a Powerflash, (paid $100 for one) a really nice 50’s pachinko which are way more rare (also paid up $100 locally for a 1957 Misono), or a spectacularly preserved very colorful 70’s Mizuho I believe I also paid up $100 for. All of those had nice playfields though is part of the higher price; no restoration really needed; just cleaning.
