    Default Help wiring Heiwa ski-hiel machine See pics.

    Never tried requiring one of these-

    what i I know is that the red power light works- I jumped an led in there. Proving the power supply works, and it does Mayer at 18v DC.

    Pictured as in pics, the only diff is I jumped black over to red on the wire post towards the top. To see if I had electrical flow. But where is the red wire supposed to get a lead in?! So I have this (power supply to posts ) correct??

    please advise? I really know. I thing here, but am so enamored with the “mousetrap” mechanics of these...just shear genius....

    Welcome to Pachitalk

    if you have modified the original layout then i can t help ya.. but first thing you will need is a glass fuse.. your pics do not have a fuse.. all power originally went threw the fuse..

    if im looking at it correctly you should have power to the black and white tabs only.. the red one is for parlor use and not used on home play.. if you have the parlor tab hooked up you will get feed back from the low ball switch and things kinda work but the jackpot light will not..

    If you (or someone elses) have modified the original wiring then its going to he allot harder

    Well, the red is fused, but no power line in. It was then goes and splits of all over the place, so it appears to be a main line. I jump over the fuse, but nothing lights up. I did confirm the low ball switch works, so maybe the bulbs are dead? The other contact appears to be a closing trigger, but I read nothing there. Was hoping someone had this machine working to help me make sure I have the lines where they should go- I'm not familiar with what light up where and whe.....

    even a a schematic might help. I can't find anything.

    Yea, they vary too much for a single schematic to cover them all..

    But the red input should be your hot, and the black the ground. Sort of have to chase it down from there, usually with a multimeter. Usually pretty simple, 2 switches, one for 'out of balls' and one for the Jackpot.
