First Pachinko Machine

[phunk311]

My first pachinko machine arrived yesterday from Slot-Pachinko.com. I decided to go with Galaxy Railways. It is a fantastic machine - I've been playing it for the last few hours but no fevers yet.

The unit is in pretty good condition. There are a few bulbs burned out. I know I can ask for new bulbs, but I don't have a key to open the frame and replace them. Does Slot-Pachinko send you a key with the bulbs or is there a trick to open it without a key? I saw a couple of latches on the back, but they release the entire unit from the wood frame.

about 5 inches below the top latch there is a very small latch that will open your glass door only

Luckydog, I see that small latch (it has some yellow paint on it) but lifting it up doesn't seem to do anything.

They should have given you a key

I would contact Curt, and ask him.

BigBearSteve, there was no mention of a key included in the auction, but that certainly would make things easier. Is it better to call Curt or email him?

[luckydog]

press down on that latch, not up.

and lightly pull on glass door

Oh boy...I feel silly thanks!

I would call him directly... since you already need to call about the bulbs

BTW, Galaxy Railways is a Great!! first machine (that is, until you find out about Evangelion )

I plan on calling him first thing on Monday.

Yeah, I like the anime style machines and the price for Galaxy Railways could not be beat. I downloaded all 26 episodes of the series and I have been watching them on my PC. Pretty neat stuff.

I'm surprised there are no Dragonball pachinkos out there. Or are there?
