Newly Finished Machine

Well this one has been quite a long time in the works. We have been trying to get every minor detail on this machine to our liking. We spent quite a long time decided colors on many parts so they would all flow together and make a wonderful looking machine. I do say it came out looking great.

I custom made the background myself and had it printed on heavy duty vinyl. We refinished the wood frame with a white wash that was very similar to the factories. Because we wanted to achieve a very 70's machine we decided to change out the blue upper tray with a brown one and painted the loader window avocado green to match the playfield. The lower tray we repainted with a nice light blue to try to match the original. We repainted the spinners with a green center and orange rim because we wanted the center to match the playfield and the orange to be pulled out from the tulips. All the chrome and plastic parts were cleaned and polished. All in all this machine was stripped down to bare bones and rebuilt from the ground up with a few parts from other machines. And it came out wonderfully. Keep an eye out for this wonderful machine on pachinko planet .com.

Also a little info on the machine: It is a 1969-70 Nishijin, Model A Front Overflow (Tulip Tower)
