    Default Newbie from Chitown burbs

    Hey All-
    My name is Mike. From the burbs just outside the Windy.
    Accidentally, got my first machine the other night (neo Pharoh Zetz, Yamasa), long story. From what I can tell it's working alright. Machine & stand ran me $100

    When I opened up the cabinet, there was a small square plastic tray (with holes in it) laying inside the top of the coin hopper. It looked like it had fallen & I'm not sure of how/where it should be placed. I'm as green as it gets with this stuff so, any advice on where it needs to be placed would be appreciated.

    Trying to use the search function as much as possible to find the best way of getting tokens from the machine & which tokens will work (need to purchase some more).

    Thanks for any info you can provide.

    Respectfully,
    Mike (automatic)

    Hi Mike welcome to Pachitalk.

    Sounds like the small square plastic tray fell out of the back of the machine. Just look for a square hole on the back of your Pachislo, not really a necessary piece.

    You should be able to find tokens on Ebay, just search for Pachislo tokens, skill stop tokens, etc. Make sure they are the 24mm, or about quarter size.

    psst... 25mm, or .984" is the size you want - the standard pachislo size... slightly larger than a quarter.

    and WELCOME!

    Thanks to everyone with the prompt answers and the hospitality.
    Much appreciated.

    I'm giving the machine a thorough cleaning and trying to determine if I've got any burnt out lights (haven't seen the 'Chance' light on yet).
    Still tryin' to determine what the 'prongs' in the lower right corner (on back wall) inside the machine are for. Wires running to them has me thinking something is missing or it's for diagnostic work.

    Respectfully,
    Mike

    the prongs are for the overflow box, most machines don't come with one.

    when the regular hopper is filled tokens go to overflow box,

    when thats filled the prongs make contact with the tokens and the attendents are alerted to empty the tokens
