    Default Nishijin Sophia: Action and Lights

    I pulled my old pachinko out of the corner and am trying to clean it up and make it work.
    Currently, many of the balls do not make it to the play field but fall off into the case. The action seems to be loading 2 balls at once and the striker is a coiled spring.

    Looking at the photos, where and how does the cut white wire attach to the circuit?
    Where should the dangling bulb attach to the game?

    I enjoyed reading the many posts on rehab of old pachinkos.

    Thanks

    First off to Pachitalk.

    Here is a picture of what the back should look like.


    As for the front side I can't tell what your problem really is. It sounds like you need to tighten the shooter spring, so on the back find the spring coming from the shooter at the other end you will see a plate with holes and a nail sticking out. Move the plate to about the middle hole.

    Also can you open the front chrome panel and take a picture of the loader mech. (to open lift the latch with the metal loop on the back (right side) and push out. Swing frame open, push down on the lever on the left side (front) and swing open front panel.)

    Any questions feel free to ask. And once again welcome to PT.

    Too much flash and it is actually of the wrong area I need an image of.

    I have a red arrow pointing to the part I need a better pic of.

    Pachinko balls falling off into the case? Plexiglass in wrong track maybe?

    There is a steel spring on the end of the shooting hammer, no rubber tip.

    I can't tell what is wrong with your loader from that picture.

    Can you please take machine into daylight and maybe make a short video of what is going wrong? Zoom in and out as well as you can, open and close things to show as much detail as possible. Not trying to annoy you, just want someone to aid you as fast as possible.

    a picture from the back of the machine (lower left section behind the shooter) can sometimes be a great help.. from time to time things get bent the wrong direction
