stuck ball drop on vintage machine

[aokubara]

I have a fifty year old pachinko which during multiple fast payouts got stuck. There is a row of balls waiting to drop and I cannot seem to get the rocker (red piece) to collect ball to drop it. It sounds as if there is a ball inside this rocker. Poking around with a metal skewer does not fix it nor does tilting to the right to move balls away from the drop site. I cannot figure out where the jam is. I would attach a photo but do not now see how to do that. There machine has worked well to day for the last thirty years.

A quick and easy way to add a single image is to use the toolbar button in the editor window. It will insert the picture at the current cursor location:

Thanks , Hanibi for the videos. I think mine is older than A or B as it is different in back. Balls now block payout after one, by resting on top of lever arm. I sent photos to general answering as I do not have time now to figure much of this out.

Sounds like the see saw (rocker) on a Model A?

That part does have two pachinko balls inside of it, on purpose.

The Model A video in the vintage forum sticky posts will help a little. My guess is that if it worked for a long time, it is a very minor adjustment of these things...

There is a good manual that explains how to adjust the Model A. I can't find it right now...
