    Default Emptying balls from the jackpot

    Hi,

    just wanted to find out how to empty the balls from the jackpot for travel. I know you can put a pin or manually trip the ball dump but it does not dump balls that are past it and into the jackpot. Is there a way to purge those as well or is it not even necessary?

    Thanks!
    Mike

    Yes you hooks remove them. Just manually activate the jackpot lever.

    Should be "should remove them". Auto speller strikes again.

    Thanks. I got it now. I was trying to do that but the moment I did the ball dump it would not allow the jackpot. I had to hold remove most balls then hold the two pieces that trip up when low on balls up so that they did not trigger anything and then keep manually emptying the jackpot manually if that makes sense. Thanks again!

    for the most part

    on most machine's the below works but not all..

    if you trip the ball dump the two low ball arms will fall down in to the drain tube.. if you release the ball dump reseting it with the low ball arms still draining they will not be able to return up.. this will allow the owner to manually dump the 3 or 4 more jackpots by hand.. then simply trip the ball dump again and reset it...

    Thanks! I often don't make sense . For this machine the moment I dump the balls and release it would not allow me to manually trigger the jackpots so what I did was after dumping the balls I added just enough that would allow you to play again then held my hand under the area where when you are low it trips the two pieces up and I held them up and them manually jack potted until empty. I just wanted to make sure when I give to my nephew they could bring it home safely. Right now I am finishing my own machine and hope to be playing tonight. We shall see

    thanks again!
