Sankyo Ghost Fever 1999 Owners manual anyone?

[TwoMontejoe]

Ok so I am new here and need help. Have not found anything to help me yet so thought I would just ask. I have 3 vintage Pachinkos, got my 1st in the 70's through the Spiegel Christmas Catalog. I recently came across a new style and have no Idea what to do. Figured out the twist the handle and grab the metal ring to launch balls, but that is it. What are the 3 buttons on the front main ball tray about and thank god the speakers unplug. Too loud. I miss the old bell clang for jackpots. I have a slot machine where you can adjust the odds and payouts and I imagine you can do the same here. Can someone provide a manual or point me in the right direction. I went to sankyo site and found it was a 1999 model but thats it. Its called Ghost Fever and it also says "The horror pachinko" pretty cool machine, I found it on Craigs list but the guy knew nothing about it and sold it to me for $20. thanks for the help.

Welcome to the Pachitalk

It sounds like you got a great find on Craig's List ! Most new machines do have a 3 position volume control somewhere on the back of your machine. Try and track the speaker wires or maybe someone else out there can help with the exact location.

The 3 buttons on the front (Just guessing without a picture) are for use in the game parlors. They can be used at home with a special dongle which you can purchase at the auction site.

Post some pictures when you get time and I'm sure someone in the group can help!

I am having trouble accessing the FAQ's here too. I have used many forums before but nothing like this one. I can see the ones I want to look at, but can not open them.
I am going to try to post the photos I took now.They are front and back of machine, 3 buttons that I dont know, Top switch, position switch at bottom. what are they for?

We are a bit different here. We like newcomers to become a part of the community, so a few brief posts before the Research Centers opens to you is key.

Posting pictures here is a great idea and the best way to get answers quickly.

The three buttons on the front are for use in the parlor to get balls to play with - not needed for home use, but can be made to work with the Daverob CR Emulator Dongle.

The top switch is power, the bottom is volume

Did you ever get a copy of the manual for the Fever Ghost?

[Johnny007]

If anyone could help...I have a Fever Ghost, the shooter knob has a problem. To have the ball start shooting I have to put pressure on the knob, not only turn it but lift the knob before it makes contact to start to run. Is there any way of taking the assembly apart to check out contacts maybe?
Thanks
John

On the back upper right corner of my machine there are red blue and green wire imput terminals, would anyone know that they are for?

Hi Johnny,

Welcome!

You need to raise a ticket in the Pachinko Technical Support Tickets

area...

If someone can help with manuals, taking apart shooter knobs or wires, they will be along shortly thereafter.

P.s. suggest you post a pic of the wires - as there are a ot of wires on a pachi, and it can be confusing as to which you are talking about.

[Johnny007]

Thanks so much for this information...

top switch.JPGThanks for posting this picture, would anyone know what these terminals are used for? Looks like external speaker wire inputs?

I'll make a guess and say they are for a battle counter??

Whats a Battle Counter? Video related?

it's a little device that sits on top of your pachinko or pachislo, just like they have in the parlours

I have a few, but only one is fitted so far, it gives statistics etc and looks pretty all lit up, there are a few pics in this thread

Battle Counter finally installed!!
