Where to obtain a manual for a NDK "automatic" pachislo ?

[BSDpinball]

Hi everyone, I recently obtained a NDK "automatic" pachislo from a trash heap at our local spring cleanup. This thing looks brand new, and just needed a new power switch (or for now, alligator clips) to work. Ive found the sound is CRANKED all the way up and would like to lower it. Also , if possible, adjust the odds. I don't know how to read Japanese so an English manual would be nice, even if in broken English.

Congratulations!

Can't beat the price. Most all machines require some type of aftermarket volume control. Here is a link to the ones I use. 500 Ohm Potentiometer | 023-500


Here are the steps for changing the odds on your machine.

to Pachitalk! Probably wont find a manual in English for that specific machine. Generic ones will tell you most of what you need to know. There are generic manuals for specific brands, but not models. There may be a volume switch yhat has maybe 3 levels...LOUD, VERY LOUD, and EARSPLITTINLOEDENBOOMER! Do you have a key for the switch on the power supply? That is where the odds are set. 1 is hardest, 6 is easiest. I can do it easier than I can explain it. But something like Turn power off (unclip alligators), turn key on, turn power back on, find pushbutton to change display from 1-6 (button is often on inside door, but can be on power supply...display is often on inside door, but I have one where the credit display on front is it), push spin knob, turn key back off. Odds have been set. I am sure someone will explain it better. I don't know if a manual can be found at pachislodb.com or not, but it is another place to look. As far as I know, I don't think I am forbidden to mention them . I don't think we are in competition!

If we are, I'm in big trouble.

Hi There

Welcome to PachiTalk!!

It is true that pachislos were made for the Japanese market and so any literature, manuals, guides, etc tend to be written in Japanese.

Sometimes you may find some information that one of our Members have translated, but these are not for every specific machine / model / title

However, we do have a really helpful Generic guide, written in English and it does include manufacturer specific information towards the end pages.

Here is a link to the PDF manual PT Pachislo Operations Manual which you may find useful to print off and keep with your machine.

Of course if you have any questions, queries or just want to join in with any of the threads, then please do post, the Members here are knowledgeable, helpful and friendly
