No power to pachislo.
Hello, I have a chance to buy two pachislo machine with the coin accepter. I have been told that both machines can't recieve power to come on. Would this be because the accepters are missing and how hard would it be to track down the parts for the accepter.
Re: No power to pachislo.
The machine powers up from the Power Supply, not having a coin mechanism in it would have no effect on powering up. The Power Supply, normally in the bottom of the machine, next to the hopper has one or two fuses, that could be blown. Thus not powering up.
Finding coin mechanisms for them may or may not be a easy task. All parts needed for these machines are just what members have from "dead machines" that are parted out.
What if...the HOKEY POKEY, is what it's all about?
Re: No power to pachislo.
the machine I'm talking about is the popeye pachislo, I believe the accepter is missing and Won't power up, also, where can I find an accepter for this machine? the other machine is an aladdin and coins won't go in, it will power up, but no sound. any suggestions on what might be wrong?

If it is a older model of Aladdin you would need Model# NS-130B coin mechanism. The two different model #'s look the same, other than the connections. On the 130B it has a 6 wire connector and a 2 wire connector and on the 130C there is one, 8 wire connector.
Finding a coin mechanism shouldn't be to tough. Sammy, Rodeo and Aristocrat all use these type of coin mechanism's and between them they have released 172 different titles, over the years. The powering up problem has to be with the power supply of transformer. The 110V, coming from the wall outlet, goes to the transformer and converts it to 24V, which goes to the power supply. So I'd check that you have 24V coming out of the transformer, if not then replace it. If there is, then it's the power supply. There are two fuses on the front of the power supply, a 6A and a 15A, check to see if they are good. They may look good, but you need to test the continuity and make sure. If the fuses are good, then the problem is inside the power supply and will most likely have to find a replacement power supply.
The Aladdin, not taking tokens, if you mean they won't go in at all, then there is something blocking them. Something you would have to check for. If they go in, but fall into the coin tray, the coin mechanism, most likely, needs cleaned or a bad connection, or the machine may be needed to be reset. Really it could a combination of things. From my experience, a lot of these machines have been setting around for awhile/stored and are dirty, loose connections, mice have gotten in them and really not cared for. No sound could be as easy as the speakers are unplugged. these machines are loud and some owners unplug them. Some machines don't make sounds till a Bonus Round. Again there is no "one answer", you will have to investigate.
Re: No power to pachislo.
thanks a bunch, Ill be picking these machines up before long and If it's ok I'll pm you and let you know how things went.
Re: No power to pachislo.
You can PM me, that's fine.
But, please post here also. I don't have all the answers and having all the members here looking at your situation is more beneficial.
Thanks!

pop7.JPG Ok gentlemen, just to make sure I'm not making a fool of myself. Do I need more than just the coin accepter? this is the inside of the popeye machine.
Re: No power to pachislo.
Make sure you get thd wiring when you find one. As for the rest, Don't know. Sorry

Re: No power to pachislo.
The only thing missing from that picture is the coin mechanism. There is a empty 6 wire connection, that's where the coin mechanism plugs in.
I pointed it out on your picture.

Re: No power to pachislo.
Sorry, I meant an empty 8 wire connector, not 6.
Re: No power to pachislo.
I would suspect there are other things wrong with that machine and that's why the coin acceptor went missing. No rational person would take it out of a fairly rare popeye machine. Like Wayne said,the coin acceptor has nothing to do with powering up, that's another issue. Beware

Re: No power to pachislo.
It appears you have a Aladdin Evolution. I would try a "Hard Reset" of the machine.
Here are the steps.
(Each step must be done in order, exactly as stated , or the machine will not reset.)
1) With the power to the machine OFF, turn the reset key, on the power supply, to the right.
2) Turn the power to the machine ON.
3) A number, (1 to 6), will be displayed in the WIN window, on the front of the door. That number represents the odds. 1=less odds of winning,2,3,4,5,6=best odds of winning. By pressing the blue button, on the inside of the door, above the coin mechanism, you can change the odds to the number you want.
4) Once you select your odds number, now hold down on the spin lever. The number that you selected, and is displayed in the WIN window will change to zero when you hold down on the spin lever. (The machine has accepted your odds setting.)
5) With the machine still ON, turn the reset key to the left.
(while turning the reset key to the left you will hear a "click sound" from the coin mechanism. If not, the machine did not reset.)
As far as your Popeye machine. The parts from your Aladdin Evo. are the same as what are in your Popeye machine. Same power supply and coin mechanism.
Re: No power to pachislo.
Alright wayne, I will try the reset. Do you all know where I could purchase parts for this machine if avail?
Re: No power to pachislo.
Well, parts are not easy to come by.
It is a more common brand, with several different models, that use the same parts. So that does help.
I would post the parts you need and maybe a Member has the part. Also I would contact John, at Stealth Home Amusement, and see if he has your parts. Plus you can keep checking PachiParts to see if your parts are listed.

Re: No power to pachislo.
Would I be able to use parts off of a sammy fire drift machine to fix popeye or would it have to be a large led screen machine like fireworks,spiderman...ect...
Re: No power to pachislo.
If you are looking to use the coin mechanism and power supply from a FireDrift machine on your Popeye, those parts Will Not work.Would I be able to use parts off of a sammy fire drift machine to fix popeye or would it have to be a large led screen machine like fireworks,spiderman...ect...
The power supply and coin mechanism in your Aladdin Evo machine are the exact same as what are in a Popeye machine. So, if you are looking at parts, compare them to what is in your Aladdin and if they are the same, they will work in your Popeye.
Re: No power to pachislo.
Hi,Everyone I got a Pachislo slot machine that had no power. Using a voltmeter, I had 24 volts output from the transformer. When it was said and done I replaced the on/off switch.After that the lights would just come on.I was on the right track though.I was hoping to find a tech manual for this machine.If anyone knows of one being published I would love to know about it.Anyway back to the point.I tried the hard reset mentioned by the moderator and it has seemed to come to life.Thank you so much.I would have been lost without this forum
Re: No power to pachislo.
Glad to hear you got it working, unfortunately there are no tech manuals for these machines. The good news is that collectively, the folks here have figured out all kinds of solutions to common and even some rare problems. Welcome to the site !
