Marvena

Hello, newbie here. First post besides the intro section. Looking for some information on Marvena Pachinko machines. Just recently picked up a coin operated machine. NoT sure how any of The electronics work with this but it is in the "TILT" mode when you plug it in. The gravity pendulum item inside isn't touching so its not that. Didn't even know they made these before finding it so I know absolutely zero about them. Anybody have one of these and if so, any ideas on where I should start? Thanks everybodyIMG_20150201_101926418.jpg

I had two games similar to yours in the past. Referred to them as computerized pachinko. On both of the ones I had, the tilt mechanism was removed.

Mine both worked. One worked better than the other in terms of scoring and winning an extra game.

My suggestion is to see where the tilt mechanism plugs into a board and disconnect that plug; although it is just a minor chance that will fix it.

The majority of machines I've read about here did not work. That era of printed circuit boards had issues with corrosion that is not easily diagnosed or repaired.

If you cannot get it to work; it is a good project for a retrofit with another controller.
