    Question NEED HELP - Vintage Machine ID and help with ball reload mechanism not working

    Hi,

    I managed to get this machine for $60 USD equivalent which is amazing as im in New Zealand and the machines are very scarce here. https://photos.app.goo.gl/wJKELNK9VzXM3bPC3

    Looks to be a 1977 Model B Nishijin

    Please can someone help me with machine name? - (it has 2 sumo wrestlers in the centre piece)?


    It all seems to work ok apart from the ball reload mechanism. When the ball shoot handle is pulled down the other plastic lever doesnt move to open the shute for the next ball to fall into the shooting position. From what I saw in the Model B youtube clip in these forums the wire is supposed to push the plastic lever to the left to allow the next ball to fall into place but during operation the wire doesnt move?


    Below is a link to photos of the machine and videos of the problem with the ball reload.

    I have 2 other machines but neither have the same mechanical ball reload function/parts so i cant copy off them.



    Please can I get some guidance on how to fix this and the correct operation setup of the ball reload mechanism.


    Thanks!

    How many balls are you testing this machine with? If you don't have enough, the reload mechanism is disabled as there are not enough balls to pay out a jackpot.

    I have probably 500. The ball run out mechanism is working fine. The problem I have is the pulling back of the shoot handle doesnt load the next ball for shooting.

    The wire on the shooter handle is on the wrong side of the plastic loader mech.
