Nishijin super dx questions

[upside24]

Were you able to get those pachinko balls out? It would work better with those out first.

Reset the see saw to up position, in the picture, it is down.

Thank you for your comments Carl. When I wrote that comment last night I was elbow deep in restoration. I ended up experimenting with the machine started taking screws off to access parts of the machine that were probably never cleaned before. I'm going to try what another commentor suggested and will depress the plastic pieces so that the whole back will come off. Then, when the balls are out I'll reset the machine and the see saw. I have a quick follow up question though...I was able to wire a 9 volt battery to the terminals and get the "empty tray" light on, but even though I replaced the jackpot bulbs I can't get the jackpot to light up. (I've tried placing a ball in the jackpot directly to trigger the lights) Maybe it's because these balls are jamming up the jackpot payout but I thought the lights would still come on.
