Refilling the hopper without opening the machine mod.

[Texxut]

Since I'm new to the pachislos, this may have been looked at and dismissed before. Anyway, NewInTown hooked me up with autoslot w/credit add, for my two machines. I've got 700 tokens in each machine. The machines are right next to each other so it's a pain to open them. I have to open one, in order to get the clearance, to open the other. So I rigged up a coin funnel, at the back of each machine that goes into the hopper. After a big win, I just scoop up the tokens and drop them in the funnel, the hopper is now reloaded and I didn't have to open the machines. The top of the funnel is flush with the top and behind the machine, so if you don't know they are there, you don't even notice them. With the credit add feature, there is no reason to keep opening the machine. I turn them on with a power strip and play to my heart's content.

A big thanks to NIT, for getting one of my machines running and for making the other more fun to play.

Duct Tape, the tool box in a roll.
I used heavy fiber board to make a rectangular tube. Than taped a juice bottle to the top. The bigger bottle is easier to dump in, but I used what I had available. The neck of the bottles had to be opened up, so the tokens would flow when just dumped in.
The flap was added at the hopper opening, to slow down the tokens, before the flap was added, they were flying all over when they hit the hopper.

A bit crude, but it works.

Cool setup! Those tokens look like copper pennies. I've never seen tokens like that. Where did you get them?

nice mod! a recirculating pachislot, who knew...

I like them too. They are "777" tokens, one machine came with 550 of them and the other came with 810. What luck. I split the tokens between the two machines.
