'Aquarium from Texas Auctions'

[Georgetpug]

Hello I just received this machine albiet coming apart after the abuse from UPS.
When I pour the balls in the top they seem to go down correctly, the game plays sort of but it has an error where the two lights in the play area blink and an alarm is going off indicating some kind of fault.
I opened the glass and put balls into the holes and the balls will return in the award slot correctly. But the alarm still goes off.
Any ideas of how to troubleshoot this one?

I have checked as best I am able for jams and all seems to be ok the top is full and the alarm persists.

I talked with Curt today and he seemed to be a great person. Very helpful and very much wanted to assist. :lol:

I had this happen on a Heiwa machine I have. A ball was lodged under the sensor switch so that the machine didn't think there was any balls left to pay out. Empty the the machine and check to see if any balls are under the paddle that triggers the light to go on. It should be located just inside where the balls travel down from the upper tray on the back.

So far my two machines from Heiwa are the only ones that have any sort of alarm that is triggered when the machines run out of balls.
