Thanks to Drunkenclam for the best name yet! "New Guy, Need help identifying machine!!" post #19. Two swords... makes sense to me! Here it is closed. Nice Model C ! Pretty clean! The cell has water stains... and unfortunately is delaminateing near the center. Don't show up too well in pics. This may be my 1st cell replacement! I can wait though, I'm in no hurry to open that can of worms! Plenty of good though. First of all, Nick was a very cool dude! Very nice and good to work with! I drove from Dayton, Ohio to Lexington, Ky For this one. I took "Silver Springs Ginza" to show off. He is not a pachinko guy. He did think Ginza was cool! When swords are closed, a center drop opens quickly! When swords are open, a jackpot makes swords close slowly. Not sure why, takes vibration and hopefully more balls to close! I'm not sure if this is intentional, but I'm not trying to fix it... I like it closing slow! Here is the mechanism opening. It rotates a spiral groove that spreads the swords. Here it is closing. There is a hook on the left that must be tripped by the ball to release the arm to close the swords. Probably to keep balls from bumping them closed. The center bulb didn't work at first, but a wire brush fixed that!

Oh yes! Just like trying to open up a side tross pocket. Once open they start to close after a ball falls in, but slowly. At first I thought it was gummed up, but I think it is to allow a couple more balls in. I really like the modular design of the "C"Mostly model C 036.jpg This is the back removed and flipped around. Mostly model C 037.jpgThis is a closeup of the JP light circuit board. I haven't tried another bulb in the empty socket. It seems plenty bright with one. Mostly model C 038.jpg This is the backside of the JP seesaw. Mostly model C 040.jpg low ball indicator circuit.Mostly model C 039.jpg Payout chute with bell. Of course cleaning is always necessary. This machine is not that dirty! The model "C" looks to be much easier to clean and maintain than a model "B". I am impressed. The first pachinko I ever had was a model "B", and now they are my least favorite. Model "A"s rule, but for cleaning and maintenance, I recommend a "C".Mostly model C 028.jpg The jackpot tray is like a model "A", but for the first time, it is not visible from the front. I guess by then machines were so reliable that it was not considered necessary to see the jackpot. Mostly model C 016.jpg These open the tulip.Mostly model C 019.jpg Everyone seems to like to see the stickers. I am very happy with this machine.

It was in the thread "New Guy, Need help identifying machine" I tried to create a link... tried "cut and paste"... I have no clue. He found it in the trash heap, didn't know what it was...but knew it didn't belong there. He sold it to me for $50. We were both happy.
