    Default Absolute Newbie, what do I have and why won't it hold the balls

    My hobby is fixing EM pinball machines. Love em! A friend gave me this Nishijin Pachinko thinking that they can't be much different then repairing a pinball machine. I'm sure most of you already know, there is very little in common between Pachinko and Pinball with the exception of metal balls.

    The only thing I know about this machine is that it is a Nishijin because of the sticker on the playfield. I'd like help identifying the model and the years this particular machine would have been made.

    My second problem is that when I load the balls into the hopper on the top back of the machine, they all just fall through to the ball drain box I've got behind it. I downloaded a basic trouble shooting document made by Sutra Import but it's quite cryptic. For some reason the gates that hold the balls until they are needed seem to be stuck open.

    Thanks in advance for the help!
