    Another interesting find. Here is the control board from my Fuji. When I got it all 4 raised loop jumpers were cut. I assumed this was done purposely to allow play like a normal pachinko as the ball drop solenoid was also dissabled so the balls continually returned to the shooter. No scoring or payout at all. Currently my Fuji will payout whatever you win. I did reconnect all 4 jumpers. You will notice a small 5 sticker so potentially the jumper selection would enable/disable the payout max. The connections do come from the same 4 pin outputs of the IC.20170321_202705.jpg

    Very interesting. Here's a pic of that same board from my Bonus Line. It also had several severed jumper loops.
    The two ICs on this board have had their numbers rubbed off but I bet it's the same chips as yours.

    Be careful. I found an outfit in china that said they had those chips. Seeing how the shipping alone for two was forty dollars I ordered extra. When they arrived they were blank chips. Kiss that money good bye.

    any progress on your machine? is there any text on or around the small board with the "5" on it? there's frequently text stamped on the frame around various components on these machines. I use a translator app that translates in real time as the camera is held in front of the text.

    No progress on the transistors. Machine is currently in many many pieces.

    Still hoping someone has similar board with transistor markings or waiting for LT to get back to check his.

    I did a search in the arrangeball owner's group on here and saw that member "mbodi" has a similar machine.he's not really active anymore but was on here back in november. may be worth giving him a shout.

    yeah it's a cool group with plenty of pics of arrangeballs. on my profile i've got a bunch of pics of arrangeballs from a retro parlor in japan. most of them i've never seen here in the u.s. save for a couple that i subsequently bought from yja and shipped here.

    can you post a closeup of the text at the top of your main board?
    if it's like mine, it's the name of the machine.

    No markings on the main board other than TK-A76. Only other markings would be on the side bonus board.20170326_223602.jpg

    oh well. I see from a pic of your board that you emailed me that it was made in '77.
    i ran the characters on the board in the pic above thru the translator but got nothing. I think the characters are too stylized.

    Full restore less the background at this point, it's a bit sunfaded but otherwise still quite good shape, no water staining.

    I may do the background at a later date. The front plastics are quite sunfaded as well.

    looks like fun, I miss doing arrangeball restores but haven't come across one in awhile that I'm interested in doing. I'd recommend doing the background now if you're thinking about it. It's unlikely once it's all back together that you'd be inclined to deal with all that again. You can have someone at a print shop do it or do it yourself.

    I won't mind doing it later, I actually prefer the restore process over the play. I have a couple vintage in MY collection I have planned to redo later with backgrounds. If the background graphics are bad enough I do them right away. I think I may have done somewhere near 40 machines with probably 25 or so new graphics.

    Same here. The restore is much more satisfying.

    Guess that clarifies my current max 5 payout. Would sure be nice to find datasheets for those IC's. Better yet the program info. Well one can dream.
    i somehow missed this post but that's a very interesting find. i looked on my board and couldn't see a 5 or 10 in that spot but they're both covered with solder. i figured that your payout of 5 was by design and not an error. on machines with payout maxes, it's always 5 or 10. just seemed like too much of a coincidence.
    over the years i've had some luck finding replacement chips that were either the same ones or compatible. i did that by finding databases but for these particular taiyos, i've never found anything. could be proprietary, i suppose.
    on a different subject, i mentioned i didn't have a placard for my bonus line but i do. i know it didn't come with one so i think at some point i had one available from a parts machine and added it after i made the waterslide decal.

    Well it is back together now and playing well. Tempted to change the contacts on the little board to see if I can change the max pay to 10.

    Tough to get past a 5 win though. Preference would of couse be to get the bonus working correctly.

    looks good. if you can tell exactly what to change in order to get it to pay ten, i say give it a shot.
