    Default New machine today

    Picked this one up locally, which is a pretty rare event :-)

    Seller didn't know much about it. Some quick tests revealed it has some issues, but to be expected I suppose.

    The two lowest pockets work fine and payout as expected. The two red pockets and the tulip do not. Balls are getting stuck behind them so I'm guessing there's some debris in there or something. The center feature is odd, in that you can't enter it from the top, it seems. Balls entering the top seem to just open those odd side devices, which themselves don't seem to payout or anything. Maybe they're also blocked up. They do close up again if a ball goes in them though. I'm not sure at all how the whole center feature works yet, since I can't really test much until I get it unplugged.

    Looking like a near-complete teardown on this one. It's in good shape otherwise though but definitely needs a cleaning internally.

    Side Tross machines are WAY COOL! This is how the side pockets are activated.

    This is the only picture that I can find of the side tross "tulips" removed from the cell. These are all of the "Side Tross spcific" parts. Sadly, one of my side tross machines wasn't worth saving.

    Interesting! Thanks guys. I had seen some advice here somewhere about turning the machine upside down. I took out the glass and did that, giving a gentle shake and got a fairly large number of balls out of it eventually by working the see-saw. A couple were quite corroded and I suspect they may have been stuck together. I then fished a couple of pipe cleaners wound up together up the channel and dragged out some dust and grit, though probably not enough to account for the clog. She's up and running now and everything works as it should.

    I may yet go ahead and tear it down just to clean it up but nice to be able to play it before I do. This one is set up maybe a bit too loose, but I'll fiddle with that later. It's nice to win more often than on my other Nishijin
