New Art Masterpiece arrived im pissed!

[Eddie]

Just got the Machine and its not in the color that was shown on ebay ! If I knew it would come in this color I wouldnt have bid on it in the first place!

Next the frame is falling apart as the case is comming out of the top hinge!
The power cord is only about a foot long and has very very small wires!

The machine is very very dirty

Without a manual of any kind Im lost I cant even find the power switch to see if it is even working!!!!!!! Help

[drcrippen324]

ok eddie you got 2 choices you can throw it back at the vendor as not as advertised or you can take a couple of pics of the back post um and we will help with the power volume and reset switches ect

[chmer01]

Which vendor did you buy it from?

[Eddie]

Heres some quick pics.
First is the color as shown on ebay 2nd is the horror that I received.

Can you spot the power switch anywhere?

I found what seems to be the volume switch.

[Eddie]

More pics.... one of the top Hinge which came out when I opened the case door took awhile trying to line it up so that I could close the door again.

My guess, it's a Slotusa special.

Oh and you'll be hard pressed to find an off/on switch on that model. I've never found one on either my Thunderzone or my Batman, both the same case design.

[dishpan]

Not near my ThunderZone right now and it's been a while but I think the power switch is mounted on the bottom edge of one the lower circuit boards, about 4 inches in from the left side while facing the rear. It is to the left of the adjacent reset button. It is easy to pass over if you are not looking right at it.

The 3 position volume switch is on the side of the small audio circuit board on the top right of the machine.

My vote would be its a VG pachinko!!!!!!!!

[H20Dreams]

That looks like Valley Gaming to me. I have seen them in person.

[Eddie]

I went back and found the power switch!
Its on the very bottom on a PC board Just as Dishpan said thx. The machine came on and I tried it for a few seconds to see how it worked.
I see how the ball shooter works but the balls shoot so hard that they dont seem to be able to play on the left side of the cell. The main ugly yellow case lights have not come on. Maybe only when you hit a Jackpot ummm I mean Fever?
What are the two buttons that look like arrows do the ball tray ?



I got the machine from Pachinko so I am very suprised . I will call them tommorow and see whats up with the Nightmare case.
I suppose with a little carpentry I can strenghten the wood case and the top Hinge bracket which must have been hit during shipping as the box was like mush and they had the machine on its side in the truck! (I helped unload it and saw it on its back or front laying down not verticle)

It rough without a manual trying to figure this thing out.

Are the case lights supposed to come on with power up for the attract mode?




I started to post this and I went back shot a few more balls and Something the balls hit triggerd the lights so all seems to be working as far as I can possibly know without knowing anything about Pachinko!

[Tulsa]

Yes the case lights come on a lot to be honest.


Damn, now I'm going to have to look for that power switch. I guess I never tried hard enough to find it..

[alstonj1]

wow one done in the Mcdonalds red and yellow and Ronalds picture at the top this ones a keeper . "Very limited edition McDonalds Pachinko .Most where bought back by Mcdonalds to protect them falling into rival Burger Kings Hands .This ecxellent piece escaped and is now available to you for the right price .Only 2 others where sold on Ebay this year .Good Luck and Happy Bidding"

[drcrippen324]

okey dokey your up and running the shooter can be varied the less you turn th eknob th esofter the balls are hit into play so with a little practice you can play on the left and finaly where ever you want to put the balls

the 2 arrow buttons are used in the parlours not at home for attendent call and buying balls

Oh and by the way welcome to the dark side

[Tulsa]

That's the same case that firewire's batman came in. I think he may have an extra blue blow for you!

My batman is the same case only with a yellow bowl. My thunderzone is the silver cased model.

[Lddrizzt]

THis is kinda surprising considering the great reviews Panchinko has gotten so far.

[Eddie]

I HATE THIS CASE!!!!!! is there any way to get a silver case if Pachinko doesnt have one? Can the cells be just swapped out?

[Lddrizzt]

I want a Batman, it comes in the same case and I only want it in the silver case.
I have passed up many auctions waiting for one.

[Eddie]

wow one done in the Mcdonalds red and yellow "

Oh the Humanity! Please let this be a nightmare I want to wake up!
There has to be a cure for this case.

[Tulsa]

Look at the bright side. Horror movies won't be nearly as scary any longer.
