Pachinko advice; hanemono type
Okay, so I'm normally a pinball repair/collector gal, but my husband grew up with pachinko, so I thought I should expand a bit. Just acquired a hanemono; skabo kids. Cute as can be too! Comparing pachinko to pinball cleaning...I can put pachinko plastics in the laundry tub and wash them! Sorry for the image links, tried two different browsers on three different computers and image upload errored out. Here’s my issues so far.
And if you see anything else I need to attend to, let me know! http://bit.ly/17QeXFU
1) All cleaned, but having some trouble with the sound – faint squeal, and nothing else.
2) I broke the plastic bit that goes on a pin near the spring part of the ball launcher arm. Trying jbweld, but no idea if it will work. It's the plastic arm lever that goes on that pin in the bottom of the photo. http://bit.ly/11Ccop2
3) I think I’m missing a clear cover that goes over the levers and arms below the ball trough. Is it important? http://bit.ly/13ZOuZP
4) Ball launcher doesn’t have much oomph. How can I fix that?
5) Ball launcher spring is pretty rusty (shown in 2nd photo). Can it be replaced?
6) on this machine, the latch to open the glass door is a metal lever on the left, but it is really tricky, Like it's not tight enough to release the door. Are there replacements, or…something? http://bit.ly/17hfEd6
Thanks for the advice!
