27 Lines Hopper Question Yamasa

[mark1120]

I recently picked up a 27 Lines machine and am wondering if it has the proper hopper inside. When the machine pays out, the tokens appear to be hitting the door and dropping to the floor inside of the machine. I've attached a few pictures of my hopper and the slot on the inside of the door that the tokens should fall through. Can anyone with a 27 Lines machine post a picture of their hopper or let me know if I have the right one? Thanks for your help!

is your front door aligned properly, if yes and thats not the problem,

you could jerry rig something on the door to deflect the tokens in the right direction.

I had a machine with a similar problem, i had to trim the slot on the door where the tokens are supposed to go for payout.

Also, is the hopper shooting them out hard enough? Could be a weak or disconnected spring. Add a few credits, open the door and press the credit return button. Be ready to catch em

Hopper looks good to me .But I would think the tokens would be all over the front of the cabinet if they weren't aligned but your picture shows them at the overflow hole are you sure they are coming from the payout and not just falling out of the hopper into the overflow due to to many tokens in the hopper . Try covering the overflow hole in the side of the hopper with duct tape and see if this cures your problem .

thats what I was think & again you bet me to it.. Good job.

Thanks for everyone's reply. I think the attached pictures will provide a greater illustration of what I'm talking about.

The first picture shows where 50 credits wind up landing when the door is completely shut.

The second picture shows where 50 credits wind up landing when the door is wide open.

The tokens are obviously missing that little opening in the third picture. The reason I wondered if I had the wrong hopper is that it looked like the tokens were being shot out horizontally from the hopper...but the opening in that third picture is somewhat horizontal as well when it would seem that it would have to be more vertical...it is a much smaller opening than the rest of my NET machines.

Does anyone else have a 27 Lines machine?

Thank you!

I have a Net Stock bugyo but the inside of the door and hopper are completely different

This is the best picture I could get off of YJA. The auction says it's set up to be coin free, so I assume the wires you see going into the hopper are some kind of sensor to fool it into thinking it's paying out.

If it's shooting out far enough, next thing is to check alignment, height first, then see if there is any gap when it is closed (distance from hopper to front of cabinet, from payout tray plastic to inside edge of door. Perhaps some creative cutting/gluing/fabricating?

27 lines is a Yamasa

I just realized that

PachiTalk Research Center - Yamasa / Niigata - Twenty Seven - PachiTalk

let's try that again, here is my Yamasa Zak Zak

both slots are at about a 25 degree angle

Thanks Luckydog! Your Zak Zak looks exactly like my 27 Lines...so this confirms that I have the right equipment, but I must have an alignment problem. Earlier tonight, I moved the hopper closer and closer to the door to see if that would help...but no dice...so now I will check out the respective heights and also see if I need to move something right or left. Hopefully, I'll be able to find the right positions for the door and the hopper to make this one work.

you could try making a cardboard extension on the door piece too

I just checked my Yamasa machine, and I noticed it has a clear plastic flange the helps direct the tokens once they are accepted, and helps send them on their way past the electro magnet, before they fall down the chute to the hopper, maybe you are missing this piece, and the tokens are just falling into the machine.

It is right inline with the coin slot on the front of the machine, and is held inplace by two screws. Just a guess
