    Default Help getting my Hanabi up & playing

    So, I've acquired my first 2 pachislo machines . One of them (The Terminator), I've been able to clean it up some and do a couple minor things and get it up & playing - yay me!!! However, the other maching (Hanabi) isn't being as nice & easy. It powers on, I've changed the odds, go back into "play mode," get a 0 in the credit window but it rejects tokens. I've taken the coin mech out and cleaned it, cleaned the sensors, done a reset, etc. My first question is, where is the insert token light even supposed to be at? Secondly, I know that with the Hanabi motherboard, I can use the led lights to help my troubeshooting (as opposed to The Terminator, which does not), but I'm not sure if the lights that are lit up should be on to begin with or off. I'll post pics of everything. If anyone wouldn't mind taking a look, I'd greatly appreciate any advice, opinions, knowledge, whatever! Thanks in advance.

    I did have one machine that had a faulty magnetic coil in the coin mech so it didn't active and tokens fell straight through. However I would.have expected to see a insert token light on the front panel.

    Yes. The way it looked when inserting a coin with the cabinet open, I kind of wondered if maybe it wasn’t supposed to be the bigger sized tokens I seen in the repair guide on https://pachislodb.com/viewtopic.php?t=4342? But still, there would be an insert light on front I would think . When I switch on the power, I do hear the click of the magnet activating on the coin mech.

    When inserting a key on a de-pinned cabinet lock, would the reset led light up when turning the lock counterclockwise as for a reset? This machine has a yellow reset/odds button on the door above & to the right of the coin mech that does work and lights up LE4 as so does the reset push button on the power supply box beside the hopper - same led lights up. It does not when turning the door lock reset.
