    Default Don't Drink and Pachi!

    For all you young folks out there who get to thinking:

    "Hey, let's have a few drinks and tear apart a modern machine that I know nothing about...I'll remember where all those screws and pieces go...NO PROBLEM!"...

    Please, please, please...Back away from the screwdriver...don't do it!

    Like a moron, I did just that.

    Now, as I'm putting it back together, I have this nice plastic router that I cannot figure out where it goes...of course, daylight is gone (and so is a six pack of Mich Ultra), and the lighting in my garage is substandard. Maybe tomorrow I'll figure it out...if not, I'll just post pics and let you guys help me.

    Before the light and my brain cells failed me, I did manage to figure out why the machine wasn't paying off...the previous owner had decided to use a ball bearing instead of a Japanese/Pachinko approved sphere...probably about 5% bigger than a regular sphere, but just enough to jam everything up...

    Now, if I could just get the damned thing back together...
    I'm not addicted to Pachinkos. I can quit at any time. Did I tell you about the three machines that I have on the way?

    That sounds like something I'd do...

    Best of luck getting it back in order!

    No problem Big dog, This is an easy fix.
    Just drink the same amount of booz and set to it again.
    Just reverse what you did.

    Well boys and girls, it is offically back together. It is amazing what can be accomplished with the right combination of daylight and sobriety.

    Essentially, I took all of the plastic tracks off the back, gave them a good cleaning, and put it back together again...even more stunning was that I ran a few hundred balls through and the lights and sounds seem to work like a charm...(this is my $15 Sankyo 6/12 modern-classic that I got last week) . I know...pics, pics, pics...I'm terrible about that...I'll try to get some posted soon.

    Now that it's all back together again, I still want to shine the pins up...it really is a great machine.

    If I could only figure out what to do with these 5 leftover screws...
