Power Flush power flash

[who922]

Hey guys and gals. Is this a power flash/flush? I am having a hard time telling from the pictures.

[JACKSJE4]

Yes. It the T-Bird model. Make sure it has the solenoids and power connections.

[who922]

How do I check for those? It's about 3 hours from me, but I am going there on Saturday.

Have the seller send you photos of the back and we can help you out.

You should look at some of the articles on the powerflash. It looks like it has a power cord and if it is working a ball dropped in the top should open all of the tulips at once. A ball then dropped in each tulip should close it and pay out. When the ball drops in either side yellow tulip it should close all of the tulips and pay balls. If the powerflash does not work you have major problems. Also you should ask for better pictures as the pictures you have do not show much. Ask for pictures with the glass open and a picture of the play field without the glare. Then ask for some pictures of the back. When you get those post them and a few people should comment.

An amendment to what LT said.
If you drop a ball in a yellow joker it will close the tulips only on that side, not all of them. Just didn't want you to think something was wrong since they won't all close.
Also if it doesn't work it doesn't necessarily mean anything major is wrong. It could be something as simple as a blown fuse or a loose connection or something a little more involved like a bad transformer or solenoid. Luckily the transformer and solenoids can be replaced cheaply and fairly easily.
P.S. They're known around these parts as "Power Flash's".

I'm not able to get more pics before I go. He said he would take $90. I'm thinking...

[mudfud]

as long as the inner layer's intact, you should be good.

take a peek at my powerflash video, and you'll see what should be inside.

YouTube - pachinko powerflash 1



most of the time people don't even realize there's the extra layer inside there, so it should be fine.

from what I can see in the picture, I'd pay $90, unless the back is all busted or something, and even then you can replace with the back off another nishijin B.

I don't own a T-bird,
but on my Power Flash China-man
Either of my jokers will close all the remaining open tulips.

So 1/2 for T-bird all for China-man

So I agreed to $90. I will pick it up in the morning and I will have it back here tomorrow night. I am very excited! I couldn't let it go. The only one I ever found was on e-bay and went way out of my price range. So even if it's 3 hours away I had to pop on it!

Post some pics and of couse feel free to ask any questions ya might have

[who922]

So, change of plans on the pickup. My niece went to pick up my nephew. So I didn't see the condition until I got it. Maybe I overpaid, we'll see. The front glass is cracked and it is really dirty. One the legs is broken off and they were on the sides instead of underneath. So far I am not able to get it to pay out. I'm thinking maybe it is just clogged inside. I dropped one in the pink and nothing happened. When it is plugged in i do get a light when I pull on one of the levers. So since I am clueless on this one, help away!! Here are the pics. BUT, I do have a Powerflash!!

pics?? i see no Pics

[who922]

After some resizing. Pics.

[Moparformances]

i pic 5 the jackpot lever is in the down position.. there is a push rod under it to raise to its start position..

or take the cover off and move it by hand.. wile the cover is off ya can fish out the lose ball...

and of course the machine will not pay untill the top hopper is filled as well..

Luck to ya

[who922]

So where should I start with this machine? When I put one in the pink, they didn't all open and when I put one in the yellow none closed. Is this going to be a solenoid problem or could this be caused by the ball jam I currently have. @Mopar I did try to put that back in the up position, but it won't stay.

[emmadog]

i know its tempting but before you try to power it up you should make sure there are no jams, inspect the solenoid layer for any balls in there, make sure wires are connected properly to the solenoids and micro switches, check the brown junction box for electrical integrity, make sure payout lever is up, put balls in and check to see that the ball stop device is working properly (mechanism that stops balls from flowing into shooter when balls are low), watch balls flow down chutes and into jackpot area, and then plug it in if all of the above checks out.

[who922]

Thanks EDog, will do. The light I am holding in the final picture is obviously burned out. What would the correct replacement for that light be?
