    Default Just got my first pachislo machine. Excited & Clueless!

    Im from georgia (USA) and recently got a pachislo slot machine. A college roommate moved out and didn't want to bother moving it, so he told me (actually begged me) to take it off his hands and move it out when I moved out. I know nothing about pachislo machines but I have built a mame cab so I thought I could maybe use some of its parts in a future project or something.

    So, so far I have found out that it is a Hokuto No Ken 2 (Fist of the North Star) machine. It has an awesome lcd screen with animations around the wheels. See the attached picture to check it out. But, thats about all I know about the machine and very little about pachislo as well. So I was hoping y'all could fill me in on some things. First, the key is lost so idk how to get into it. How should I try to do so? Second I think its displaying a coin jam error? that should be easy to fix right? Third, is this a good machine? Is it worth anything or a fun one? Any information about any of this or anything related would be great because I am really clueless but it seems like it could be a fun project/hobby I could get into.

    first off

    Welcome to Pachitalk

    value is hard location location condition.. does it have tokens with it?? how many?? there is always value even in a broken machine..

    there is a hole in the bottom you should be able to reach in and open the door threw that hole.. then ya can clear the error and see if the key is inside..

    feel free to ask any ore questions

    Thanks for the info, I was having a hard time finding any! I found that hole and I tried to get it open but still couldn't seem to do it. Haven't given up on it yet though. Id really like to get it functioning.

    It does have tokens, id somewhere around 330 of them. It has a ding or two but overall the condition looks very good to me, but I dont really know how they are judged. I attached more pics so somebody call me out if I'm wrong about that.

    The lcd screen is perfect and my roommate who gave it to me said it functioned not too long ago. As for location I live in a small town about an 1 hour from Atlanta. Don't know if somebody would drive that far though, but I still haven't ruled out keeping it either.

    looks to be in fine shape..

    geting it open and finding a key would be a great help..

    geting it open and replacing the lock is another option
