[zbakes]

Are there any modern pachinko specialists in my tristate area, New jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania? i have this really cool pachinko machine in my house and i would love to get it working again.

Thanks

Your Going to have to provide at the very least a name model etc etc. PLUS detailed description of the problem and some pictures! There are TONS of experts here that may be able to help. I wish I could but it can't! Good luck with it and I hope you get it going!

[zbakes]

the problem is that it does not turn on it. Nishijin Y & O model. will take pictures later dont have my camera right now.

[zbakes]

sorry for the lack of detailed description, that is all i know.

[compirate]

No problem, we're patient!

[luckydog]

is it turned on, there is an on and off switch in the back

you could start out with checking for any loose connections and the transformer wiring, and check for any blown fuses

learning to walk always starts with the first steps

I'm sure fellow pachitalkers can talk you thru any problems once you start posting some pictures and give us more info

[zbakes]

i will take a close look at it tomorrow. and try to get up pictures.

[zbakes]

I took a close look but everything seems to be in place. here are the pictures.

the 3rd picture from the bottom shows the on off switch turned off.

closeups pictures areund the transformer may help

have you seen any fuses???

[MrGneiss]

I don't see anything obviously wrong except for the big ball jam...And the power switch looks on to me..but it wouldn't hurt to try turning it on and off a few times with it plugged in..You never know!!

If you have a multimeter you could check to see if any power is getting to the machine..Maybe the transformer is bad or maybe a wire just came loose..

the 3rd picture from the bottom shows the on off switch turned off.

No, the on-off switch is definitely turned to on.

Logic 1 = On
Logic 0 = Off

in his pictures there is not enought balls in the hopper.. if i rember right that would shut the shooter off... right??

need to clear the ball jam and load the hopper..

of course checking the power output of the transformer should be first one the list of to dos

[zbakes]

i dont know what to look for when looking for fuses or transformers, are any of them visible the pictures.i have tried to turn it on and off a few times. is the hopper what/where you put the balls in on the top

[DrDark]

My 2 cents...
Clear ball jam first.
Fill top hopper with balls, you will need ~ 350-450.
Enjoy playing your machine!

[luckydog]

the first piicture is your transfomer, the power cord should be connected to 2 terminal on one side and the 2 terminals on the other side should be connected to a board somewhere on the back of your pachinko.

the second picture shows the hopper and ball tracks that should have balls in them

[zbakes]

thanks for the info lucky dog and how would i go about fixing the ball jam.

[zbakes]

i have a close up of the transformer.

the red and black wires are coming out from the front and the yellow wires are coming from behind. The purple wires are from the plug and go directly to the on off switch.

[DrDark]

I think the reason you have the ball jam is lack of payout balls in the top hopper.

So it doesn't turn on at all? Need to trace the power line down from the switch at the top to any power supply on the bottom, there might be another fuse or two there. The transformer is putting out power, right? Could also be a bad connection somewhere.

You need to pop off those two boxes at the bottom (the metal one and the clear plastic one with the writing on it) and see if you can find the payout trigger system and trigger it manually to clear out those balls in the back.

[zbakes]

yay! i fixed the ball jam now to get it to turn on
i have not checked if the transformer is putting out power. i am just assuming it is
