Reset Skill Level; Funny Santa

[Lucky6]

Hello all,
I am new to this site. I have been looking around on here and found some ideas as to how to reset the skill level. I tried those suggestions and can't figure it out. Here are 3 pics of my machine. The second has the button (Under the top "On/Off" button) which I thought used to change the level (prob 10 years ago or so). Not sure if it is not working or I am doing it wrong. Any and all help is much appreciated!

Hello

Welcome to PachiTalk, I have moved your thread to the Pachislo section of the Forums for you

Here is some info that explains how to reset a pachislo, as part of this process it includes how to change and set the skill level, you must follow all steps carefully

"How To Set the Skill Levels of Your Pachislo
HOW CHANGE ODDS:

"TURN YOUR MACHINE OFF FIRST"

1. Locate internal key switch, and insert key.
Note: In order to change odds, machine must be in idle mode with no tokens/coins or credits being played and off.

2. Turn "reset" key switch to on, to access programming mode.

3. Turn on machine now.

4. Depending on machine type, a number from 1 to 6 will be displayed on one of the LED meters on front door. (please note on some models the numbers could be displayed inside the machine)

5. Locate and push Skill button. Depress button and notice movement of number being displayed in LED meter.

6. Once desired level is displayed (1 to 6), push down on play handle (Joy Stick) for 10 seconds, and depress both "BET CREDITS" and "COLLECT CREDITS" buttons to lock odds level into machine memory.

7. Turn "reset" key back to off.

8. Machine should immediately initialize. If not, turn power switch to the OFF position, wait 15 seconds and turn power switch back to ON position.


Also just to confirm some additional info (from member Chrisdice) regarding hard reset

Two switches on the power supply:
- One requires a soft reset at the end of a bonus.
- The other pays out all tokens at the end of a bonus.

For these switches in most cases off is in the down or right position. The for off and on are:

無 = off

有 = on



Do let us know if this helps or if you require any further advice

I appreciate you moving that. That was the thread I found before posting this... I do not have an internal key slot... I do get the number on the external of the machine (currently set at 5). Also, is the "skill button" the one I am referring to on the second picture below the top "on/off"?
Thanks

I'm not too familiar with the Taiyo models, but here is a link to a useful PDF guide,

near to the end it shows the location of the Reset switches, volume switches and other switches on various models

pachitalk/Manuals/Pachislots_Operation_Manual.pdf

Hopefully you will find one that looks like your set up, and it is also a useful guide to print out and keep with your machines
