    Default Fully cyclic Lumina

    With Arby's and BB's great instructons I have a semi cyclic Star Wars but I would like to make it fully cyclic. I have been staring at it for days and can't seem to come up with a plan to make it fully cyclic. Does anyone have any instructions or tips on making this mod.

    How to change a Parlor Ready to a American Pinball ActionÅ (Cyclic Usage) for the Lumina Sankyo frame.





    Back side of the cell with the cover on








    Back side of the cell with the cover removed and a plastic angle hot glued in even with the opening in front.





    Front side of cell showing the white insert even with the opening.





    Shows the back cover open and how it looks before any changes.





    Shows parts are cut away to hold a hot glued in insert white plastic angle the full length with a foot angled toward the front.





    A close up of the foot, that angles the balls back to the front shooters tray thru "X".
    That piece is hot glued to the longer angle.





    Shows the long white angle from the full back of the machine.






    This show the back of the front where the balls go back out to the shooting tray.

    Wow...I'd say that's a bit more involved than the semi-cyclic mod.

    I did it to mine following the above instructions.
    They look more complicated than they actually are.
    Oh and once it's done, the spent balls roll slowly back to the tray. Freaked me out the first time I saw it, thought I did something wrong, but that is how it works. They don't roll too slow to affect play, but after watching them go fast through the playfield, it is slow.

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

    Moo the part with the x is where the balls go in to the front tray instead of the back whilst playing ? Is that the only part that needs to be modded nothing else ? How do you do this ? Is it the same procedure for all modern pachinko machines or different for different models ? I want all my machine's balls to go to the front tray instead of the back whilst playing , any help would be very much appreciated , I have learning disabilities so do find it harder to learn than others , thanks

    This mod is only for the Sankyo Lumina frame pictured in the posts above. There will be different procedures for different manufacturers and frame styles. Not all machines can be made cyclic.

    It's kind of an iffy prospect to not have your machine play as intended and can cause various errors/problems which to me are not worth the headache of ruining the parlor experience.

    The best option is to have a cabinet with a large ball reservoir on top to keep your machine going during fever rounds.

    Your mileage may vary.

    I have learning disabilities and find it hard to understand more than others , ideally I would like all my machine's balls to go to the front tray instead of the back whilst playing so I dont have to keep emptying the ball tray once filled up or worry if its going to overflow without realizing , just need a simple step by step guide , I have 2 sankyo or sanyo machines , but not sure on the other models at the moment but as soon as I find out will post here

    I have never done the conversions my self. But the theory is that you divert the ball path as it leaves the cel to the payout chute straight to the front tray. But it does involve cutting out plastic and gluing pieces in.
