    Default Hopper emptying?

    I'll have pictures up tonight for other questions... but i've read here and there that if you do things wrong your hopper will empty... I WANT mine to do this occasionally, what is the typical method?

    most the time there is a lever or knob that will allow the balls to empty from the hopper. it depends on what machine you have, modern or vintage. pics will help.

    well, it's not really old, but it has no video screens, so i guess vintage? pics coming tonight when i get off work

    Also, i was wondering, what happens when the hopper is full to the brim and i keep putting tokens it, will it spill over or give an error letting me know?

    just take some out by hand, or you can put a tupperware or baby wipe container to catch the overflow.

    some power suppies have a dump button, but make sure you have something to catch them when they come flying out

    found pictures of my machine in this pdf. it's model #2. Is there a way to make the tokens empty automatically? http://www.stealthhomeamusements.com/media/Takasago.pdf

    sccording to those pictures you cannot dump any tokens, they is no button for it.

    you may be able to dump credits by pressing the button to the left of the start lever.
