Hey guys!

I have been enjoying my Speed Racer pachislo for a while now, but something just happened and I do not know what to do. It seems that my machine is locked or something to that effect. The screen plays like normal, and when I press the buttons, the LEDs on the inside of the door do light up showing that it is registering. Also, when i feed in tokens it registers them, and the token eject button works as well. The problem i have is that I can't start a spin, nothing happens when i depress the knob. Also, the reel stop buttons are always red... the colour that they are after one presses it in a regular spin. Ive tried the reset button and the whole recet procedure. I was thinking it may be a fise? but I honestly have no idea. If anyone could help with some info I'd really appreciate it

Thanks a ton everyone!

i think your problem is with your spin knob, check your connections to it. or it could not be centering try jiggling it.

also check your button connections inside the door .

I tried jiggling it and checked all the connections, nothing worked. When i do jiggle it or push it up/down the LED at the back does go off an on, it isnt fixing the problem

here's a thread that may help

can you contact the vendor??????

[Big_Man_Mike]

Yeah I read that thread before I posted, its where I got the idea of the fuse. Only difference is that that guys machine does spin, but he can not stop the reels, and I cant get mine to spin at all. Thanks for your help though

I will try to contact the vender tomorrow night I guess, its too late right now

There should be a small green LED on the inside of the door. From the spin button, follow the connector to the board on the door and the green LED should be above it. Press down on the spin knob and see of that LED goes out.

[Big_Man_Mike]

Yes the LED goes on and off for all buttons, knobs, all of it, when pressed.

Press the max bet button to load it up, then fiddle a bit with the 50 pin connector and cable right next to that LED. While your fiddling continue to press the spin knob. It's a shot in the dark but there may be something wrong with the connection from that board to the main board.

Since the LED is going out, the spin knob is registering, so it's fine.

[Big_Man_Mike]

The "load it up" is sort of a problem, I don't know what you mean by this. I put tokens in, it registers them, ect... but the max bet button doesnt do anything when pressed. It does light up its respective LED on the inside of the door, but nothing other than that, all i get no matter what are these constant red buttons(always, been like this for hours now) when they should be blue.

[Tulsa]

They are only blue once the spin has begun. They are normally red.

So it's not spinning because it's not being triggered by the max bet button. What LED is lighting up when the max bet is pressed and what does your credit LED display?

[Big_Man_Mike]

Thankyou everyone! I really really appreciate this I followed all of these instructions, then carefully cleaned all the connectors and it works now! Don't exactly know what fixed it but it is working again

[Tulsa]

As long as it's working!

Another happy PachiTalk member!

While your here, I have one quick question for you... Do you know the way or if there even is a way to make the speed racer machine pay out after every win? Thankyou.

[Tulsa]

By pay out, if you mean spit out tokens, the only way would be to load up 50 credits into the machine and then put in three tokens on each spin.

Tulsa's correct. My Super BlackJack allows you to toggle the function between credit and instant pay but the Speed Racer machine doesn't have this option. So, if you load it up with the max of 50 credits it will instant pay any winnings above the 50 credits.
