cotton ball sound mod question?

[RKnarr01]

has anyone put cotton balls infront of their speakers to quite them down, does the sound still sound okay, whats the easiest yet best working mod in your opinions to quiet a machine down?

I've never used them on a pachislo but have used them on both my pachiniko's. They work fine for the tiny speakers in the pachinko's. I just put volume controls on the pachislo's to give me the advantage of adjustment and it's inside the case. The pachinko's don't have a case.

i use cotton balls on almost all my machines, easy fix and doesn't really degrade sound.

luckydog how hard do you stuff the speaker with the cottonballs

[luckydog]

every machine is different, you take out the top two screws and loosen the bottom two. i put them in pretty loose, then add some more cotton balls if not quiet enough.

RKnarr01,

Did you ever find the volume control on the Beast Sapp?

There is a 3 position switch. Don't know if it will turn it down enough to keep you (and the family) happy. You might still need volume controls. I know I use them on mine, even with the switch in the lowest position.

The switch is a bit hard to find. If I remember correctly it's along the bottom edge of one of the circuit boards that are mounted on the inside of the front door. I believe it's the top one.

The reason the switch is so hard to find is that you will actually be looking at a side view, not the top of the switch. That is, the switch actually points down. You'll find a plastic cover over the board. Along the bottom edge of that cover there's a small hole that let's you reach the switch.

i think this is what your talking about right, i think this is the volume switch if so i didnt do much the volume is really loud http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...tchDiagram.bmp

Yep, that's it. And yep, it's pretty loud.

Strange how on some machines the volume switch gives you a pretty good range of control with the lowest being just about right. Then on others, like this one, there's very little difference between the 3 positions and all of them are really loud.

I have a Net machine, a Hound Dog, where I actually have the switch on the middle position because the lowest was too quiet. Go figure.

thats how it is with my tatsujin, but with this b sap its hard to tell any difference with the switch
