Token's falling Straight to Token Tray - Osu! Bancho School Gang Leader by DaiTo

[Likewise]

Hey Guys! I just bought my first pachislo machines! I picked up a Olympia Las Vegas machine and an Osu! Bancho School Gang Leader machine by DaiTo.

The Olympia machine works great, I just need to replace the door lock, but I'm having some trouble with the DaiTo machine. When I turn it on, it starts saying the same thing in Japanese repeatedly and shows a video of a man walking down the street on the LCD screen. I do a reset and this stops and the machine lights up and the display starts showing it's action shots beautifully. However, when I put a token in to play it just falls right back into the token tray.

The guy I got both machines from hadn't played them in a while but recalled having to do some specific series of steps to the DaiTo machine to cause the token guide device swung out to send tokens to the hopper but that it was something that wasn't on the vague instruction manual that he had with the machine.

I'm at work at the moment so I unfortunately haven't got any pictures to share but I was hoping somebody here would have any idea what this may be and could help me.

Thanks in advance!

Hello, welcome aboard

Have you tried doing the full reset what we term the 'hard reset' ?

Most errors are usually remedied with a full reset, so just to double check that you are carrying out the complete hard reset

Here is some info that explains how to reset a pachislo, as part of this process it includes how to change and set the skill level, you must follow all steps carefully

"How To Set the Skill Levels of Your Pachislo
HOW CHANGE ODDS:

"TURN YOUR MACHINE OFF FIRST"

1. Locate internal key switch, and insert key.
Note: In order to change odds, machine must be in idle mode with no tokens/coins or credits being played and off.

2. Turn "reset" key switch to on, to access programming mode.

3. Turn on machine now.

4. Depending on machine type, a number from 1 to 6 will be displayed on one of the LED meters on front door. (please note on some models the numbers could be displayed inside the machine)

5. Locate and push Skill button. Depress button and notice movement of number being displayed in LED meter.

6. Once desired level is displayed (1 to 6), push down on play handle (Joy Stick) for 10 seconds, and depress both "BET CREDITS" and "COLLECT CREDITS" buttons to lock odds level into machine memory.

7. Turn "reset" key back to off.

8. Machine should immediately initialize. If not, turn power switch to the OFF position, wait 15 seconds and turn power switch back to ON position.


Also just to confirm some additional info (from member Chrisdice) regarding hard reset

Two switches on the power supply:
- One requires a soft reset at the end of a bonus.
- The other pays out all tokens at the end of a bonus.

For these switches in most cases off is in the down or right position. The for off and on are:

無 = off

有 = on


Do let us know if this helps at all

Thanks for the response! I've tried the hard reset but it still won't receive tokens. It doesn't show any error codes and only has a 0 on the credits display. I'm not sure what else to check.

I just found that it could be that the bet one button is stuck down. Has anybody heard of this before?

I've clean bet & stop buttons successfully with a lot of contact cleaner sprayed around them and just pressing them a lot

that works on game controllers too

Isopropyl Alcohol works well for this as well.
just make sure unplugged so you don't get zapped.

Glad to hear this is a known thing! Does the button just pull out from the inside of the door and then I just wipe it down with an alcohol wipe or something?

[luckydog]

I've done it just by spraying cleaner around the edge without removing any buttons, if you need to remove them they come off by removing the locknut from the inside.

I FIXED IT!!! It turned out to just be a little metal diversion thing forcing the coins off of the slide. I pushed that in and it clicked back and now it's going fine! I think it got stiff from sitting so long. These machines are dirty though and will need some TLC.

What kind of spray cleaner would you guys recommend for the buttons, and what kind of plastic cleaner for the cases?

Again thanks for all of the help! You are all awesome!

[luckydog]

I use electrical contact cleaner in a spray can, windex does a good basic cleaning on the plastics

if your fussy then you may want to get a good polish!!

Thanks to everybody for all of the help! Everything seems to be in order with this issue so I'll go ahead and close the thread.
