Maruto

[CarlW]

This is my FIRST MARUTO!

It is also the oiliest Machine I have ever worked on. Someone really lubed it up. What a mess.
Just a reminder, please don't oil pachinko machines.

I was excited to rig up some LED's for the jackpot lights. The OEM lights (jackpot and low reward tray)
were next to each other behind the same yellow lens.

All lights run off 2 AAA batteries...

That's one exceptionally nice looking pachinko!!

and I'm going to borrow one of Stuey's words here and say the LED lights are 'RAD'!!

Looks good Carl. I usually prefer the LED's over the bulbs. Though in some places you need the bulb. But you did a fantastic job with those lights.

No pic of the back? What gives.

I started to gripe against the same thing. CarlW is a seasoned member and knows the FRONT/BACK PIC rule! ( there is a FRONT/BACK PIC rule...isn't there?) But the video covered the back so well that he would have had to use his 9 pic limit to do any better. So, I hereby, publicly, cut CarlW some slack in the clear violation of the FRONT/BACK PIC rule! Although a pic of the back would be nice.

Can I get a gift for this or what? Thanks for watching the video btw.

I did watch the video. But with the way youtube works the image quality always decreases. So I wanted some clearer pics so I can study it more closely.
