Pachinko cabinet work in progress

[fabio]

hello, this in works is my idea of pachinko cabinet similar of packislot machine

the construction is very simple and economic... for all material and construction, I spent 40 euro but now the project is not finished

I built this cabinet pachinko but I have some doubts about its construction

premise that is the first time that I play pachinko
then I do not know the operation of the machine and game

when I turn the machine ON the game starts with the music and sound effects without me to do anything and always continues ...
is this normal?

what is the scope of this game?

should not only work when launching balls?
This works even if I did not do anything ...

then not win anything and all the balls always end up inside the machine ...

I made a video where you see the machine that always works
if you want to download for to give me your opinion is possible here

I could not get you video to play, but it is not normal for the game to have music and sound effects without a ball going in the start pocket. Maybe the game is in a fever and has to played out?? Try resetting the game by holding the button near the power switch while you power on the game. That should clear the memory and put the game back to normal operating mode.
By the way thats a nice selection of Pachislos and other games you have there. Thanks for sharing.

Hello

Tanks for your respose, Crisdice

yes, ! this is that I think's too...

is not correct if the machine always operate without the balls

but I have control and I have look a microswich inside the door and I think's is correct...

What could be causing the continuous operation of the machine?

you have tell me to try to reset the machine ok,
but
I do not know the procedure reset and I do not want to cause damage to machine entering a menu of setting where I do not know the functions ...

can you help me and write step by step things to be done to reset the machine ?

To reset a pachinko: You should find a small push button near the power switch. Turn off machine. Hold button and power up machine, release button after 10 seconds.

That looks like a Cool machine! Looks really fun to play.

Depending on the machine, error code 7 means the machine is out of balls or there's a ball jam. Fill the top tray with balls if it's empty (and open the ball stop, and close the ball dump) and the code should go away.

[fabio]

hello to all, and thanks for your respose John

today have riceved a balls for pachinko and now
when the balls box is full the code error 7 is disappeared
now is this " - " is ok ( I think ...) look photo please

this is ok and now the alimentation of balls is automatic...
from the hole of the machine leaving 3 balls every 5 to 6 seconds

the problem and 'that the machine works even if not touch anything...

I have disassemblated and riassemblated the machine in all part and not have balls blocked
and have clear all sensor

what I can do now ?

help me a new idea please

What can 'be because of continuous operation of the machine?

[JohnD0406]

now when the balls box is full the code error 7 is disappeared now is this " - " is ok ( I think ...)

Yep, that's normal.

the machine works even if not touch anything...

3 balls is a payout, so it sounds like a sensor is malfunctioning. Clean all sensors in the cell, and re-seat all connectors to the sensors. I haven't had this problem myself, but that's where I'd start.

[jmaclerran]

The 3 balls every 5 or 6 seconds sounds like a bunch of start spins have been banked when there were no balls to pay out.
Go ahead and let the balls payout, depending upon how many start spins you may have to fill the hopper multiple times.

Hello to all, and tanks for the collaboration

the problem is resolt

now the machine work perfect and play the game only when the balls
play in the machine

the problem is a connection not correct of this 2 jumper
which were reversed (look photo please)

have the same color and someone must have reversed

the machine arrived in this mode

Problem resolt !! now work perfect !!

now can terminate the cabinet...

Normally there would only be one connector here. Which leaves me wondering where the other connector leads to.

I think that a previous owner must have added an 'auto play' modification and this extra connector has something to do with this.

[hanabi]

I'm glad you got your Pachinko working properly Fabio,

[fabio]

hello,

tanks for the osservation Daverob, I have thinks too at this... but not know the respose

in the mainboard exist only 1 slot yellow for this yumper and in all machine not have other slot yellow...

the jumper not used go in this small mainbord (look photo) and this is a modification
but I do not know what was connected here...

[daverob]

That board is usually used to connect the machine to a battle counter or to the parlour computer. But in this case it is likely that the previous owner had a 'cheater switch' wired there.

If there was nothing else connected here, then the machine would think that the start pocket sensor would always be triggered, and the machine would have the problem you described.
