Broken Payout?

[Alan13]

Hello. I just got a Sankyo machine. It says "Jet" on it, that's the only thing I can tell about what model it might be. Whenever I get a ball into a tulip or the jackpot, nothing happens. Does anyone know what might cause this? I have everything in the right position, but nothing happens... Thanks!

Welcome to PT.

You've got a pretty good ball jam going on there. Half dozen after the see saw, another dozen waiting to pay out. Just clear it all out and start over will prolly take care of it.

I tried that, maybe making some progress. This is what it looked like after I cleared it;

This is what it looks like after some play;

But I think I see the problem. (1) isn't allowing the balls to leave after the seesaw puts them there. The seesaw isn't able to be reset (it always wants to face down.) And if the seesaw does operate (I set it off with my fingers) The balls exit the machine along the arrow.

Any Ideas? Thanks!

Sounds like the simplest solution to your problem is to get more balls. You need a minimum of about 500 to make the machine work right. As it is probably triggering the levers that shut the jackpot mech off and then throws everything out of position. The levers I'm referring to are attached to the white piece of track right above the line you drew for the arrow. (I'd circle it but I'm on a computer that doesn't have software for me to do that)

Can you post some close up pictures of the areas you circled and the area around the white track.

If you have any other question just ask. And once again welcome to PT.

I think I've figured it out. The seasaw wont reset, but I think I can rig something. Other than that, the balls always exit the machine after the seesaw. Any ides on what's wrong? Thanks!

I fixed it! The seesaw had a lever in the wrong position. Thanks for the help everyone!
