    Smile Jackpot rocker does not reset after dumping winning ball

    Please excuse any wrong terminology. I have owned a Nishjian "A" for many years and allowed it to collect dust and all other disgusting things. I have kept all the parts so it looks as though a good cleaning will get it going. I have spent time cleaning chutes and runways and now seem to have one problem left to resolve. When a winning ball gets to the jackpot rocker it enters and dumps-The JP pays as it should. The problem; For some reasong the jackpot rocker does not return to the open position to accept the next WB. I do not know if it is counterbalanced and needs a little more weight or if it needs some form of lubrication. I am afraid to lubricate for fear of collecting dirt/dust. Am I missing a connection?
    All help will be greatly appreciated

    Dale,

    First off to Pachitalk

    Second when you get a chance can you post some pictures. They tend to help out.

    To me it sounds like your issue is you don't have enough balls in the machine. You should have about 500 minimum.

    Also you usually should never have to lubricate anything. If something is sticky take it off and clean the shaft. (or use a spray silicon. It would clean out some of the dirt. WD-40 is not a spray silicon and should never be used.)

    If you have any further questions feel free to ask. And once again welcome to PT.

    I loaded 700+ balls into the machine and still the arm does not reset. All trays are full and when I push the lever into the correct position, the lever drops the balls into the jackpot and pays. I have forwarded pictures to pachitalk since I do not have the skills to add them hear without my wife or kids help :-)

    Hi tripple7tahoe.

    I've made an animation of the Nishijin "A" which I hope will make a simple explanation of the jackpot system, and maybe it will be helpful in troubleshooting your machine. The animation thread is located here:

    Nishijin Technical Animation

    I encourage you to watch the whole thing for a more complete understanding of your machine, but you can scrub the video to around 5:20 where the jackpot explanation begins.

    Welcome to PachiTalk!

    well then (without seeing it), it sounds like someone monkeyed with the weights in the arm making it so they don't work right. But I think I should really wait to see the pictures before I tell you to go adjusting levers and have you mess something else up. As right now I'm not 100% what the issue is.

    Thanks to all for your suggestions. I viewed the video by SteveFury and now understand how the mechanism is supposed to reset. In checking my machine I see that all the parts are there and now will get into cleaning that area to see if some "dead spider" is causing it to hang up. I should be able to find an answer and will post follow up.
    thanks again to all; This is wonderful resource.
