    Default Newbie help: Sanyo Tenka Getter Error Code 2

    Hi all. I’ve just bought my first machine, a Sanyo “TenkaGetter Hideyoshi” pachinko machine.
    Ive had a few quick plays and it seems to work fine, only there is a voice repeating some sort of warning message on a constant loop (not speaking Japanese, I don’t know what it’s saying). There is also a number 2 flashing on the little digital display in the back. I’ve tried holding down the red button in the back while powering up. This resulted in a bleeping alarm to go off for about 20-30 seconds when the machine booted, but didn’t change anything else.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I’ll post some pictures and, if I can, the audio message that’s playing soon.

    Many thanks!

    Usually an error 2 has something to do with the payout area (right side back). You might check around that area to make sure there are no balls jammed etc.
    Also make sure that balls are getting to the payout counter area. Check the upper tracks by the ball hopper to make sure the small forks are in the up position.

    Thanks for this. I’ve checked and can find no signs of ball jams in either the payout area or the counter near the top. The forks were down, but even after putting them in the up position, the errors are continuing (assuming the forks you meant at the ones in this picture).

    I can't access the recording. But normally the only time you get a spoken warning message is if the machine thinks the front tray are full.
    Or it wants a memory reset as it's been switched off for a while.

    Is the machine paying out?

    I’ve had a few balls dropped in the front hopper when first playing, but not played enough to win a real payout yet. The balls are mostly falling out of the rear exit. I tested today by opening the front and just manually dropping balls into the central jackpot hole. Got no payouts, and the balls just came out of the back the same as lost balls.
    The machine was pretty dusty when I got it, so I assume it’s been stored for a while. Any idea how I can do a memory reset? Aside from the front buttons, there’s a largish red button in the back which I assume is the reset button, a largish White one near the top rear ball hopper, and a tiny one under the digital display in the rear that’s showing the “2”. So far, only the red reset has had an effect, but that just seemed to set off a bleeping alarm.

    I’ve had a really good play with the machine now. Emptied it of all balls (as far as I can tell) and started it up again. No change to the error. The feeder motor attached to the top rear hopper was buzzing. Refilled the hopper and it pumped some balls into the machine and stopped. I then opened the front and just fed the machine until I hit a jackpot. It’s not paying out at all.
    Also noticed this message pops up when I turn the machine on, and every so often after that. Not sure if it’s an error or just part of the game. A0366B19-356D-4257-9BC4-667AB2E2A1A1.jpeg

    I’m considering opening up the ball feed assembly to see if there’s a jam in there. As a complete novice, would this be a bad idea?

    They were designed to be pretty simple to maintain. As a broken machine in a parlour can't make money.
