    Default First Pachinko, rocker setup Nishijin A help a noob

    Hey! I just picked up a 1969 Nishijin A single ball with a "Partridge Family" graphic.

    It's pretty crud covered. I've got a bunch of rusty Pachinko balls soaking in evapo-rust right now. I have a dozen or so clean balls to work with.

    As best as I can tell, this is working pretty well except for the electronics. I've watched the setup videos and they've been super helpful. But there's still a few things I don't understand. I want to make sure I understand as much as possible about how it's supposed to work before I dive in and start taking things apart.

    One thing I don't understand about game play on this machine is what I'll call the "jackpot hopper". Facing the front of the machine, there's a little window to the lower right just above the shooting mechanism. If I set the red weighted rocker in the back so it's tilted to the right, this little window will collect the jackpot balls up to about four or five, then start depositing the jackpot balls back in the shooter.

    Once there's a ball in the hopper, if I switch the red weighted rocker to the left, then push a button on the front just above the ball play slot, it will start triggering jackpots with the balls queued up in the hopper.

    Is that how it's supposed to work? And if so, what's the point of having that mode of play? I don't understand what's happening.

    Here are some pics of the parts I'm talking about.

    Thanks!
