Good Day all

Good day all
I am new to the forum, I live in Ca and I am disabled and retired and found an old Maruhow Pachinko machine at Goodwill I came with the wood standing cabinet and a set of balls and transformer. It wiold not fire or load balls when I brought it home. I was able to purchase it for $50.00



I was able to fix the ball feeding , I found a penny lodged in the in side. Now the machine feeds and balls launch. I do not beleive the machin is working right, it will not pay out. I have balls loaded in the upper storage and I have been able to get the machine to pay out once by pushing a button lever on the lower left side. I have tried feeding the flowers and still no luck. I am looking for a manual or drawings to make sure that all parts are in the right place before I disasemble the back. I am sure it needs cleaned, but I would like to know how it works. any comments would be great
thanks you for your time
Jim

Thanks all, I was actually able to fix the machine today, after a couple of posts in the vintage area and reading for a couple of hours, I got brave and disasembled the back, about 1/2 way clearead a jam of balls in the pay off area, cleaned 10 years of dust out and now the machine pays out and lights flash and I am hooked. cant wait to find another. I still have a lot of work to do restoring her, but my 4 year old Granddaughter will jump up and down when the bells ring and lights flash.
Thanks all
Jim
