    Default Computer Pachinko voltages

    Howdy, I recently picked up a Satomi Computer Pachinko (Apollo, for those curious). I've taken care of a few mechanical issues, and electronically it's showing signs of life. It'll start a game, keep score, and pay out when you get a ball in the pocket. The only issue I'm having is, when you start a game, it's only dumping one set of balls instead of three. I've replaced both capacitors in the power supply as a few others have mentioned (and is noted as a fix on the schematics), but that didn't fix it. I've replaced a couple of obviously bad caps on the main board as well, but no luck. I'm curious if someone with a working machine could grab the DC voltages coming out of the power supply for me? Schematics say I should have 5v, and 12v for DC, and 120v on the AC side. I have 17v, and 12v on the DC side, and 120v on the AC side. Not sure if it has anything to do with my issue, I'm just trying to track down any obvious issues I can find at this point.

    Thanks!

    Mine shows:
    18V and 11.7V on DC side
    123V on AC side
    What if...​the ​HOKEY POKEY, is what it's all about?

    Oh, well, I guess my power supply isn't the issue. Thank you for checking!

    I'm pretty new to Computer Pachinko and not very knowledgeable with electronics. So, I really have no idea what the problem could be. I know there is a Reset Button, but I'm sure you have tried it already.

    I guess till you figure it out, you could put in 3 coins to start a game. Or, you could wire in a free play button and press it 3 times to start a game.

    I'm wondering when you get a Replay, does it only give one set of balls?

    Yes, it's always one set of balls. Starting a game, replay, and getting a ball in a pocket (which is correct).
