Help with value on pachicom Macy?

You can see what I'm looking at here. Not sure what one would be worth, as I haven't seen to many really modern machines sold yet (I'm a pachinoob). Also not sure how to check it, as I don't have any balls yet. Have plans for a large order from Frank in a couple weeks, though. Any help with better identification or what and how to check would be appreciated.

Fit background, I'm a rather confident machinist, and know my way around a DVOM, so I'm sure I could handle it. Just don't know what pieces need checking on something like this.

It depends if it works properly, if it shoots and pays outs, lights, sound, and everything works, I would say $50-80 depending on condition and locality. If it needs work besides cleaning, I wouldn't pay much more than "parts machine" money... maybe $20 or less since it's an older "modern" I'm not familiar with that brand pachinko though...looks like a 90's machine to me.

So it fires, but not to the play field. Balls just kind of hop out the back. Couldn't check a payoff as it just had a kind of tilt noise, which I'm thinking is from not enough in the hopper, which was about empty. That goes away when you try firing it. Hoping it's a broken or lose rail. All lights work, tulips move and feel engaged. LCD display works just fine. I offered forty for it, just because I felt bad. Need the money for their kids. I kinda felt it was quite a loss in their part.

Welcome to Pachitalk

[luckydog]

if you can open just the glass part of the door, "if you don't have a key there is a latch in the back to do that."

you will see another latch below the glass part of the door, that will open the bottom half of the door and you can check the ball path and see if something is messing up the shooter

[Tigerboyreii]

I could figure out how to open it while I was there, but I didn't go that far as I didn't see the latch for the bottom. I didn't look for one, though. I'm sure I can modify the shooter to get it to work but I'm not sure what I'd use yet. I'm sure I can bring it alive somehow. I'd love to have one with a built in ash tray like it, lol.

[Tigerboyreii]

Ok, so I have the machine and about 250-300 balls. 40$. Get it home. Put balls in hopper. Open lower door and clear jam in front of shooter. Plug in and LCD monitor lights fine, tilt is gone. Tulips work. Pays out. Turn shooting knob and it barely makes it into field. Put a few drops of dielectric oil down the shooter and at full turn it barely makes it to the right. Balls are super rusty. Think I got a full working machine for cheap! It even shows panties and naked breasts (anime styled) and the reach is people going to a love hotel on the LCD, so I'm assuming it must be kinda rare. Videos to come after a bit of repair. Questions will follow.

[Tigerboyreii]

It's even a CR model!

Balls are super rusty.

clean them or throw them in the trash.. they will ruin your machine

[Tigerboyreii]

Here's some images. Sorry I'd the video is upside down. Shows the weak shot. Not sure what to do.

or

CR Love Love Couple X by Macy from october 1999

I'm sure this is the one where the couples run off to a love hotel during the reachs or bonuses

There may be a small knob in the back to adjust shooter strength, not familiar with this brand though. A high quality picture of the back of the machine may help.

[Tigerboyreii]

Here's some photos of the back and a video of the jackpot roulette and reach sequence

I have never seen a machine with an all plastic frame like that..

guess i need to pay better attention to modern machines more better

[Spyder138]

In your second to last photo there is a white adjustment set into the plastic with arrows around it. You may try turning that to see if it is the shooter sensitivity. I would only adjust a half turn and remember which direction you turned it so that you can put it back if it jacks something up. I'm far from an expert in modern machines, but it seems to be in the right area and obviously adjusts something. Shouldn't hurt to try as long as you can set it back to the original setting.

[Tigerboyreii]

That adjuster is labeled. I don't know the kanji, but the first word is tacchi, or タッチ, and the adjustor arrows are labeled high and low

[Drunkenclam]

Thats probably touch sensitivity, I can never get katakana. You can try turning it up to see if there is any difference.

[Tigerboyreii]

What is the sensitivity for, besides the handle there is no touch? There's nothing to touch. Guess it must be the handle.

With that, any other way to increase shot strength? Like maybe disassembling it and cleaning or something? I mean after that, there's just cleaning with a tooth brush, nail bending, mounting and ball management. I got all that I think. Any recommendations on how to clean and what to properly lube everything with?

[Tigerboyreii]

And anyone know if I can pull the solenoid and clean it for making it better working?
