    Default Got my first pachinko machine and the transformer came off during shipping.

    Hello All. I'm new around here and I just got my first pachinko machine, Black Lagoon. Pulling it out of the box everything looked great until I saw a giant hunk of metal and some wires laying in the box.
    Looking at the back of the machine I see some loose wires.
    Would I be correct in assuming I could just splice the grey wires onto the white wires coming out of the transformer and it be ok? I'm not super savvy with wiring, would I have to find the ground to see which one to connect it to or would it just be ok which ever way I wire them together?
    Also, on a side note. Would I be correct in assuming these knobs are volume controls? And should the board behind them that has what looks like notebook memory on it be kind of loose in there?Dmo4wzD.jpg
    Thank you in advance for any help.

    Yes you are correct the white wires from the transformer will connect to the grey wires of the machine. It doesnt matter which white wire goes to which grey wire. The green wire is a ground but is not connected on any of my machines. As far as a loose chip on a board if it is socketed and is loose I would definately reseat it before turning the machine on. And yes those are your volume controls...

    Awesome thank you. I don't want to be a crispy critter so I always ask before messing with wiring. There are no loose chips, its the whole plastic shrouded board. Though on your suggestion I checked it and it looks like there are plastic tabs that lock it to the board behind it that I reseated.

    Thank you.

    Yeah, I loved the show so it was an instant buy when I saw this, even though I was looking at an Eva 04.
