Lupin 3 Pachinko

[Markweng]

I received a Lupin 3 Machine. The vendor apparently emptied the machine of all balls and did not close the ball release. I have a number of pachinko machines and never had any trouble finding the ball release but after days of searching the back of the Lupin 3 I cannot find the ball release mechanism. Can someone who has this machine describe exactly to me where to find the open and close valve.

Thanks

You need to slide the whole payout motor assembly about 1/2" towards the ball hopper. It should then latch in place and the balls will be routed into the payout motor.

To drain the balls, press the square white button next to the ball hopper and the payout motor assembly will slide away from the hopper.
