    Default Hello from a new Twin Surfer owner with lots of questions...

    Hello to everyone,

    I recently purchased my first Pachisio machine, and do not have a key for it. This seems like a common problem...I am currently unable to check out the machine...my initial questions are: is it difficult to get a key, where can I get a key, or should I drill out the lock?

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    to open it, look for a hole in the back or bottom, either reach in with you hand or long screwdriver and move the brass bracket by the key side of the door.

    I believe it should move up.

    Could be up...or down. I haven't seen a left or right. My Spiderman 2single ball spiderman 047.jpg moves down...and my Lucky Cherrylucky cherry 028.jpg moves up! Since I don't have either key for Lucky Cherry, I added a toggle switch to change the odds.007.jpg And at 1st, added a string attached to the latch003.jpg to open the door. After the string broke the 2nd time, I used a 12 gauge copper wire to fix it for good!lock 001.jpglock 002.jpg

    Thanks to everyone for all the help...it did open by mmoving it downwards.
    I have played it and it seems to be in good working order. I hit big at one point and had trouble turning off the alarm...I eventually got lucky and hit the right combination to turn it off (don't know what that was). Im not sure if the coin hopper works (have never seen it move), what is it supposed to do? also, there appears to be a missing overflow container to it's right. I will post pics when I find time.

    Welcome Aboard

    Glad you got it open. The hopper should start to payout once you hit 50 tokens in the bank. Best way to test, is keep the bank topped to 50 and after every spin put 3 tokens back in, then even a small win should trigger a payout from the hopper.
