    Default Nishijin "Vivacity" Infos? Manuals?

    Hallo!

    Greetings from austria to all friends of the little steel balls.

    I recieved a Nishijin Vivacity last week.

    It was special modified tp play with money and to have no contact with balls
    like in a pachinko hall.
    A stand aolone system for operators with an extra electronik with ballcounter,...

    This extra system was not working.

    I have now rewired the most things

    All 3 hole contacts now are working like original.

    The mechanical ways of the balls are still modiefied, all balls are returning to the player in the yellow area where you normaly have to fill it in.

    So the game is now working on free play.

    Any ideas where to get a manual about the gameplay?
    When i have 3 symbols(Jackpot) 15 rounds bonusgame is startingbut i have no idea how much balls the player wins now?

    I remember when i have played it on route 10 years ago a Jackpot was about
    1000 balls but not sure?
    So now when you see no real balls and have no working counter the game is not realy interesting.

    Is there a english manual available?
    Any person here has this machine and we could compare pictures of the cabeling to rebuild it to original with balls winning?
    They have modified many plastik parts (cuttet parts and so)

    At the moment i can only tell my friends
    play it and when you have a Jackpot you are the winner
    but i can not tell how much balls on every jackpotround he would win


    thanks

    tom

    Your machine is Nishijin's VIVACITY, as you said.

    Here's the katakana for searching out Japanese links:
    ビバシティー (Vivacity) by 西陣 (Nishijin), so search for ビバシティー西陣 and you should turn up something...

    Here's MANSAI 777's database entry for your machine.

    Enjoy..

    thank you

    the links are funny but useless

    i would be still interested to rebuild the machine to its original pachinko payout mode with balls.

    anyone here has a model from the same generation?
    We could check where this cable should be conected and the ball lanes which are missing.

    Now that Pachinko was made in the 1990's and most of that type of machine have long been destroyed or in a collectors hands in the United States of America or gathering dust in someone storage space . In other words parts for your pachinko are going to be hard to find and in most cases with the modern electronic pachinkos very hard to find one for parts .

    I have a few games in this frame so I took a few (not so good phone) pics!!


    Here is how the ball path that leads to the payout motor should look..
    PPPPath.jpg


    And that wire from the payout motor plugs into this metal box which looks to be missing on yours..I'm guessing the stuff in that box controls the payout motor..
    PPPPlug.jpg


    And it looks like you are missing this blue piece where you show the hole on the back..
    PPPLastic.jpg



    In the US this is a pretty common old frame..But I'm not sure if you could convert this back even if you had the parts..

    thank you

    i will compare the pictures with my machine.


    i think the plastiklane for the balls should not be the problem to rebuild it with some plastics.

    the greatest problem i think is i have no connector for the ball motor ???
