nishijin single shot ball drain help
i bought this a few weeks ago on ebay and when i recieved it, I instantly began cleaning up the machine and totally forgot to take before pictures. but i touched up the paint on the pockets and surrounding plastic parts. i took off a few of the back parts to clean out the dust and grime. upon my cleaning process i found two problems. a counterbalance issue turning out many payouts for a single jackpot (not to difficult but noticable in the beginning of the 2nd video) and the drain system. when i push the lever down, a ramp inside flips, diverting the balls from falling into the player ball return area, into the clear plastic piece in which they get trapped. see video. i think that it might have been a manufactors error or the wrong replacement piece. but if it isnt, should I chop out a small part from the bottom of the clear plastic and raise the nail? or if anyone else with a single shot with the same drain system could post a picture?if i was to do that, the balls would drain onto the enclosed metal jackpot chute, under the nail, and hit an angled piece of metal pushing them onto the proper drain ramp.
