Another newly finished machine

Here we go fresh off the line. A 1973 Nishijin Model B (Spinner Man)

This machine was the very first one that started our addiction to this wonderful hobby. I can't remember what it was that I originally liked about it when I first saw it. I think it might have been the chrome. As it is super nice, at the time all other machines that I saw for sale had worse chrome which was either heavily pitted or very rusty. (both very typical) The only downside when we first bought it was how badly water stained the playfield was on it. When we got it home we just did a wipe down and then had to start playing with it. A few weeks later we decided to go through the lights and fix them (needless to say we also added a few). After that we have been playing it off and on but never got around to replacing the playfield. Until a few weeks ago. We decided it was time to completely clean up this machine and let the one that started our plague go. Maybe its new owner might get a feel of the great fun that pachinko is and maybe it might start their own collection of machines. This one will be added to pachinkoplanet.com so keep an eye in the for sale section there.

Here are the videos about the machine.
