3rd lock inside my machine no key?

[meyitzo]

hi

i was just wondering if anyone knew what the 3rd lock is for inside my pachislo, i only have 2 keys for my machine, the one to open the door and one to get into the admin section of the machine. but i have a 3rd lock next to where i turn the key to access admin. does anyone know what this is for or know how i can unlock it without a key

thanks

is it located on a silver metal box?

[meyitzo]

yes its on the same box as the lock for the admin access

I have one of those on my beast sapp but dont hvae a key for it and im not sure what it does but i would like to know.

[meyitzo]

yea my friend also has beast sapp and a don chan machine with them on to, we are guessing they might be a lock for some kind of an alarm on the machine thats all we can think of. iv tried to pick the lock but im not thief lol so im still clueless, i hope someone can shed some light on this matter

Almost all Eleco/Aruze models that have that metal box have both locks. I can't say I'm sure what it's for either. You could always open the box up and cross the terminals of the lock with something metal to see what happens.

Now be careful you don't burn something up.

[meyitzo]

what else could it be if its not an alarm box? any ideas? the metal looks pretty touch to bend open i dont want to destroy my machine im just a very curious person hehe

I opened up the cover over the extra lock on one of mine and there was nothing behind it???

Another plot by the Japanese to drive us crazy.

Hi.....my Azteca Legend Has That Key Slot On The Metal Box (along
With The Reset Keyslot )....i Drilled It Out And Found That The Only
Thing It Does Is Allow Access To Remove The Motherboard....it's
Strictly A Mechanical Thing ....allows Movement Of A Lever To
Let You Remove The Motherboard....i'm Not Sure If It's The Same On
Your Machine, But I Would Guess It Is....i Hope That Helps.......elmer

I believe that is the self destruct switch.
In case of the parlor being raided by the authorities the owner can go through and turn those keys and it destroys the machine so there is no evidence.

Or I could just have an overactive imagination and have no clue what I am talking about.

[meyitzo]

lakata thats great i think il give up wondering about it now thx good answer Lddrizzt you never know lol thanks all

That is what happened to the pachinko parlor on the opening page to pachitalk.

[lakata]

Hi Again.....if Your Talking About The Board On The Upper Right Side
( At Least On My Azteca )...it's The Relay Board....and There Is A Lot
Of Information On This Site About That Board.....there Is Even An
Entire Schematic Of That Board......go To "search" And Enter
"relay Board".....and I Think You'll Find All The Information You
Could Ever Want....there Is Even Info On What You Could Do With
Some Of The Available Leads On The Connector You're Asking About..

If I recall my King Camel has that lock inside. Considering it is located on the edge of a circuit board with a gigantic plastic cover on it, I just assumed it was a 'lock' to keep the plastic cover on so people couldn't tinker.

But I've been known to be wrong....

A lot....
