Taiyo Electron arrived...what a mess.
The golfing themed Taiyo Electron Challenge Ball arrived two days early. I did a quick clean up of the cell and it actually is in nice condition. The vibrating hopper that was added is a big ugly monster of a thing...not even going to wire it up. The original coin tube and solenoid were thrown in and the solenoid works when I tested it. I checked for continuity on everything and everything seems to be ok. The two biggest obstacles I now have are: figuring out how to reconnect the cut wires...I have no idea where they go and I don't want to guess and mess things up further. If anyone has a Taiyo that looks like this from the back I would sell...no give you my first born...if you would take a close up picture of the lower right back of your machine and post it. This might help me in figuring out what wire connects where. Better yet, if you're up to it post a description of what wire connects where. The second obstacle is the missing coin chute. I am going to attempt to make one with some sheet metal. That should be challenging. I'd really like to bring this machine back to life so post, post post pictures and help me out! Wish me luck...I'm gonna need it.
