    Default New to pachislot, need help with power

    Hello, I'm new to the forum and just got my first pachislot, I've attached 2 photos and I wanted to know what voltage it requires and what the green cable is for/ where to use it. I live in the US with 120V and this is the link to the auction with description https://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/1073820895

    and biscuits (cookies)

    The 20 volts AC difference will not hurt your machine . the power supply in your machine is 100 volts AC and steps it down to 24 volts AC .
    When things don't go right the 1st time , Step back ,Take a break and come back renewed. RGS

    So just to make sure it's 100 volts. while it may not be necessary I want to be on the safe side as I tend to be very overcautious. would this work https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...P047W6G0&psc=1 also what do I do with the green cable that is there as well? thank you for your reply.

    I agree with you. A lot of US users plug 100v machines straight in without an issue. But if you want to install a step down transformer to drop the mains to 100v. No one would blame or judge you. As for the green wire. If you have a ground pin. Try to use it. If not. Wrap it up out of the way.

    As for me. In the UK I can buy a 240v to110v off the shelf. And used them for many years without an issue.


    However

    If you get another machine or a pachinko. It might be a 24v machine these come with the same 2 pin plug. So always check before plugging in.

    I finally got around to fixing this machine after numerous years gone by. Finally got the time to tear into it.

    Root cause was the second reel was glitchy. It turned out the cable to the second reel motor wasn't seated correctly. After redoing all the cables on the second reel. Everything is working 100%
    Game is playing flawlessly now.

    I guess with these machines, if the reel is glitchy, it won't illuminate/run the stop reel board. So if anyone has this issue, fix the glitchy reel, otherwise the stop reel board doesn't engage.

    Thanks for everything.
    On to restoring the cabinet.
