    Default pachinko question

    someone has a pachinko for sale but it has no lock and can only be opened from the back. I don't have a pachinko yet and was wondering if this makes a difference.

    No...It doesn't matter. In fact, that is the way they all use to be sold.

    However....you may want to use the fact that it does not have a lock as a bargaining chip....just a thought

    I am sure you can find a new lock from one of the vendors.

    Locks are easy to get. The right trip dog to open the door and glass is what's tuff to find.

    This is my personal opinion, or of the voices in my head, and are not meant to reflect the opinion of this board.

    I am new to pachinko so this probably is a very silly question. Why would I need a lock in the first place?

    If you mount them on the wall, it makes it easier.

    When the balls go into the side pockets they release a certain amount of balls from the top. Is there a way to trigger this release by installing a switch to get additional balls to come down.
