    Default Start Jaws won't open, attack slot wont open

    The start jaws do not open and the attack, or lucky door never open but all of the slots work and give balls of a ball is inserted. So there are wires going to the motors that operate these doors and jaws but no actions.

    The circuit board on the top right where the power comes from the power suply has cut wires... are they for casino regualtion? are there wiring diagrams available for my model?


    any help is appreciated

    I dont know how to add images.. when i figure that out I will do so

    if you are talking about a modern machine (probably yes if it has reels), then the jaws do not open unless you get certain other pockets activated. usually there's a pass-through sensor on the left that has to get activated something like 4 times to get the tulips to open.

    as for the lucky door, that won't open until you match 3 of a kind in the slots section.

    then, it will open and close and you will cash out hundreds of balls.

    thing is, it can take hours of playing before you hit 3 of a kind, or the bonus round.

    post a picture of the machine so someone who has it can tell you more.

    Welcome to PachiTalk!!

    It's a common query amongst people new to modern pachinko, that they are sure the doors are not opening, but they do not open all the time, and when they do you might not actually notice as it happens quickly

    Here's a quick link to some Pachinko FAQs in our Research Centre, a couple of the articles in there explain Modern Day Pachinko play and may be useful if you are new to Modern Pachinko

    PachiTalk Research Center - FAQ - Pachinko - PachiTalk

    and here's another link that explains how you can post pics in the forums,

    OK, so it is a modern machine, I HAVE PLAYED IT ALOT, ive opened the front and tested it with combos of balls in win slots. I had an old pachinko wen i was a kid so i am familiar with the idea of how it works.



    My issue is that there are electric motors to open trap doors and tulip but they have no power, is there anywhjere someone can find a wiring diagram to specific machines so I can find where to start?

    If you did hit a fever and it didn't open the drawer, then there is something wrong.

    Don't know if you can find ckt diagram, but you might try reseating all the Plugs. This has solved several of my modern problems.

    I have not heard of tulip and door motors going out. If both then more likely a plug or circuit board (which might have to be replaced)

    Did u have pix yet? Then someone with the specific machine could comment.

    There often are several cut off wires that go to the parlor computer on moderns, so probably not that.

    Good luck

    Ps. Did eBay seller say it worked fine?

    Some machines are just a little stingy. I played min for an hour every day for almost two weeks before I got a wining line. Also in all the time I've had it. I've only noticed the tulip open twice in normal play. Do you have reels on your machine, real, LED or LCD screen?

    Pics are the most important thing, As then we can see exactly what model you have. if you can't post pics here, Can you upload to a photobucket or other account, and post a direct link to the picture.

    it would be very helpful

    Was the fever the solution or are we going to need a bigger thread?
