    Glad you are enjoying your machine. I think these machines are great. I enjoy playing them and just tinkering around with them.

    About your switches, normally left/up is ON and right/down is OFF.

    Normally when I get a new machine first thing is to clean it. I take out the hopper and the reel assembly, (just a few screws hold it in and it will slide right out). This opens up the machine and is easier to clean. I wipe everything down using baby wipes, they are pre-moistened and work really well. I'll also take the coin mechanism out and wipe it down, the rail that the coin rides on is normally pretty dirty. I'll wipe down the reels, inside and out. You can spin the reels when cleaning them, it doesn't matter what order you leave them in, they will reset themselves when the machine is turned back on. Wipe down the hopper. I also make sure all the screws in the case are tight and door hinges.

    I'll then spray the reels, hopper and the rail that the token rides on in the coin mechanism with Novus#1. (Check Ebay, to get some). It makes everything shiny and slick. Of course clean the outside of the machine and spray it with Novus#1. Your machine will really shine! (Use a micro fiber cloth with the Novus).

    Yea, that bugs me to when the symbols on the reels are off slightly sometimes. Nothing you can do about, that's just the way it is, there is no adjustment for that.

    MOST IMPORTANT THING is your machine should be turned on and off from the outlet. So just plug your machine into a power strip with a on/off switch and turn it on and off using that switch. Reason being, turning it off at the power strip cuts all power to the machine. If you leave it plugged in to the wall and turn your machine off at the power supply, voltage is still going to the transformer and it could overheat and burn up or worse, catch fire. Till you get a power strip unplug it from the wall, when not in use.

    Have fun with your machine and don't be afraid to ask questions. There are many Members here that are willing to help.

    if you remove your reels, make sure you put them back in the pachislo in the same order
